This Trans Day of Remembrance, the only thing I can really say to my fellow trans people is this.
I know what it feels like, but you have to stay alive. You have to live.

don't feel great about TDoR right now; given how many cis people want us dead, it feels like public grieving gives them fodder to celebrate

On this our saddest of days, not only should we remember those of us we have lost, but that we should renew our commitment to fight for a better world, where we can live without fear and hostility against us.

People have largely tried to act like ICE/CBP failed and retreated from LA and that is completely untrue. If it weren’t for the relentless coverage of places like @lataco.bsky.social these stories would be completely under the radar.
ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.
The national media's been silent. So has @mayor.lacity.gov.

Engagement on our updates re: ICE kidnappings/fed siege of Los Angeles is significantly lower on Bluesky compared to Twitter. Do ppl on here not care about LA anymore? Are feeds being taken over by liberal commentators? What's going on?
Community members on the ground can't do it all. We need help.

What we are seeing with Nuzzi is a debate we are increasingly seeing being played out across America. Are there one set of rules for everyone or not? Some people believe the answer should be yes. Some people believe the answer should be no. The latter group tend to have more proximity to power.

Personally, I'm not inclined to give the roll-over Dems such a charitable interpretation. I don't think they think they're in an ordinary cycle of overreach at all; I think they simply do not give a damn about us. I think they're fine with Trump's tyranny, because it won't hurt them personally.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______.
No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.
one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.
when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror

Wow, what an episode. The parts near the end hit hard. I can honestly say that it's only very recently (like, last few years recently) that I haven't lived under the general motto of "Don't form any attachments you can't run away from", and some days I feel stupid for ditching that mindset.

At some point, we need to reckon with the way in which our police departments - prohibited from assisting ICE in deportation proceedings/immigration enforcement - will show up to every single one of these horrific kidnappings and *take ICE's side*. They'll make sure that ICE succeeds. Every time.
