That Oval Office debacle today solidified two things:
1. The US is not a trusted ally
2. Zelensky is a hero

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Déjà vu all over again.

Déjà vu all over again.
Hope sustained us before. I can confidently say that I and the vast majority of my friends and colleagues all feel very distant from it, as well. And most of us are organizers, advocates and public servants.
Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

Discrimination and dehumanization hurts everybody. Period. Memorize it. Internalize it.
So Trump's shutting down of the entire government's funding system for American projects is literally so he can go line by line and target transgender people and other minorities.
When we said transphobia affects cis people too, well... here you go.

Uncommon Explorations - Somewhere in Japan
There are so many ways to approach exploring a city, but getting lost is probably the best way to get to know a place, and getting lost with the right person

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.

Please remember who the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was. He was radical; he was subversive; he did not "Have a dream" because he was merely idealistic, but because in his mind, racial equity could only ever be a dream and possibly never anything more. AND he paid for it with his life.

So yeah, it’s real bad. Just remember:
1) they’re going to fuck it up
2) but not all of it
3) do what you can when you can
4) do nothing when you need to
5) posting is not doing something
