Hi new followers! A bit about me: Queer, chronically ill, neurodivergent. Social worker. Pro-choice, pro-science, and pro-LGBTQIA+. I like to read and dislike cold weather. Glad to be here ☀️
I wish I could do my 20s over but without chronic illness. I have other ideas.

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year!
Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him.
He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary.
His health is declining.
Public outrage might save his life.

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to
- create safe spaces
- protect schools
- get kids TO school
- check on neighbors
- deliver groceries
- help pay the rent
- let people know of danger
- feed the helpers, too!

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

This this this. I’m so tired of folks in the social work field pretending nothing is happening.
Stop pretending it’s business as usual.
Social work faculty, talk to your students about community organizing, community care, mutual aid. Have them do break outs to talk about the role(s) they want to play right now. Do safety planning work. Share various theories of change.
Do not be complicit.

This is the first state to pass a statute that invalidates existing licenses and birth certificates. We may see more states pass similar legislation this year. This is the next step they're moving towards. Ensuring that trans people are pushed out of public life entirely.

The bill will likely be vetoed but is almost certainly going to be overridden.
The bill invalidates current drivers licenses and birth certificates of trans people who have amended them previously to align with their gender identity.
This is one of the most extreme bill to pass.

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.
Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.
