What @katelynburns.com said but since I do so much of my work with Christian folx I would love to hear from cis Christians.
Why do you support trans people and what are you willing to do to support us if the government comes for us?
Why do you support trans people and what are you willing to do to support us if the government comes for us?
I support because it is right (secular) & because hatred of neighbor is hatred of Christ (theological convergence w above).
I actually adopted that 2nd slogan *specifically* in reaction to Christian trans hate, although it applies more broadly.
Anything I can do.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

I got the word that ICE was at the Rio Grande in Nitro less than an hour ago. A Mexican restaurant in a town of six thousand people. I really do think they're driving from town to town looking for Mexican restaurants to harass and terrorize.
We ought to keep watching and talking about what's happening in Minneapolis and I'm not going to stop.
But I'm also terrified about the ICE sweeps in tiny towns in rural West Virginia that you've never heard of. They hit Snowshoe Resort yesterday. Right now they are in Nitro (yes, that's a town).

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

Multiple agency sources told me otherwise, and photos from

Conservatives can, power-worshipers can't.
I have supported due process rights for immigrants since I was an evangelical child debating immigration policy in homeschool debate leagues.
Due process rights are human rights, not privileges of citizenship. Even conservative kids can understand why that's important.

Maybe, but can we come out the other side with less social capital for whiteness & more equality?
White people using whiteness to combat white supremacy is key to defeating white supremacy.
A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.
