Yuuuuup. Also, I don't give a shit if some of the worst people in the world think I am being performative or am virtue signaling. Fuck 'em. They don't get to tell me how to be.
Anyway, trans rights are human rights, y'all. It's not complicated.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

i think most white americans who have never been Policed don’t realize that you are always already a criminal.
the second anyone with institutional power believes you to be, needs you to be, or wants you to be a criminal you are and always have been.

the last few days has been a reminder that people really want to believe that not only is there this real thing called a “criminal,” and that if they need to, anyone can just prove they aren’t one
do people not realize that the past four decades of US policing legislation PR and practice have made the allegation that someone is a “gang member” entirely subject to the whims of the state

Musk and Trump should have to face the hardworking Park Rangers they sacked.
I’m bringing Kate, who was unjustly fired from northern Minnesota’s Voyageurs National Park, to the State of the Union.

The outset of March dawned blue and bright for Jon Zanett, who set out from his Columbia Falls home for a Saturday morning trail run at Cedar Flats, a nearby trail system in development on the Flathead National Forest. His two Siberian husky dogs joined him. By noon, he’d dropped off the dogs and picked […]

Beautiful essay, speaking for all who love mountains and fresh pow: “I’ve found that nothing cures a racing mind quite like skiing through the trees and stopping to take a deep breath of that fresh…National Forest air…Natl Forest lands & Natl Parks are under attack by the current Administration…”
JD Vance is skiing at a Vermont resort this weekend. The resort’s snow reporter took the opportunity to make some good trouble, sending out a message of resistance against an administration “threatening our democracy, our livelihoods, our land”. [kottke.org]
Good Trouble: JD Vance Chastised by Vermont Snow Reporter
JD Vance, fresh off of helping his boss ambush & insult a foreign leader in the White House yesterday afternoon, is on vacation in Vermont with his family this weekend and will be skiing at Sugarbush Resort in Warren, VT

How Seriously Should We Take the Sale of Federal Lands? Very Seriously, Experts Say

Teresa Borrenpohl is also a former candidate for Idaho's House, for the Democrats too. This is attempting to silence dissent through violence.
Former @idahodems.bsky.social candidate for ID House, Teresa Borrenpohl, was removed by force, 2 women were detained for filming, an NIC reporter was injured.

Congress shall make no law… abridging the right to free speech. 1st Amendment, United States Constitution.
Apparently Kootenai Co. Sheriff Noriss doesn’t think that applies to him, nor does he respect the Constitution, nor the Constitutional rights of Idaho Citizens.
