Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.
Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

By describing a fetus as a person from conception, Trump has legitimized fetal personhood. The legal language employed by fetal personhood also effectively categorizes any person receiving an abortion at any stage as a murderer.
Trump Sneaks Dangerous Rights for Fetuses into Executive Order
Donald Trump slipped the anti-abortion language into an otherwise unrelated order.

👏👏👏 It’s refreshing to see this courage after silence and capitulation from the majority of our Dem electeds. If you can’t use your platform, however briefly you may have it, to stand up to fascism and speak truth to power, you don’t deserve it.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Michigan folks: our Democratic senators, Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, intend to vote with Republicans for the “Laken Riley Act”—legislation that would do absolutely nothing to address the immigration crisis but would eliminate the right to due process for undocumented people. /1

I know it's a lot to ask of Dem House members but can we promote the young member who talks good and people like? As cool as it is to always replace people with people just like the people they replaced so nothing ever changes, I'd like to win elections and get stuff done at some point.
We can do this. Tomorrow is the day. Do not give up early. Do not be discouraged! A close vote is what we needed here and that’s what we got.
Stay POSITIVE and PRAYERFUL and I will be working.

I have so much to say about today’s case, legal analysis, and more.
But the most powerful thing today was watching Chase Strangio argue in front of the court as the first trans attorney to do so.
You could feel history, and nobody will ever take that away.

Giving Tuesday is tomorrow and there are a lot of questionable orgs out there asking for your money. Please give to folks like @abortionfunds.bsky.social and @abortionsquad.bsky.social who have been doing the work of actually connecting patients with care and resources for years
I am screenshotting rather than QP'ing this because I don't want to drive traffic, and also because it's important in general: there are many, many post-Trump grifters out there and you can recognize them by the fact that they ... simply have not existed before now. Such as this one.
