Queer, disabled, learning to be anti-racist. Converting to Judaism b/c I love the teaching that preserving life is the greatest moral imperative—and that includes Palestinian lives. I want everyone to have food, healthcare, safety, freedom, and dignity.

Every time someone jumps on socials and says there is no point to mass protest days and visible reaction in the streets, share this chart with them. The approval ratings are tanking not just because they're doing bad things but also because protestors won't let people forget it either.
Gallup poll | 11/3-11/25

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

It's been 11 years since Tamir Rice was murdered by a police officer as he played with a toy gun.

I stand in solidarity and love with his family and loved ones. He was only 12 years old.

The teenager told officers he was a U.S. citizen, but an officer broke the car’s driver’s side window and detained him. In a video, the boy can be heard telling an officer that he is a citizen, to which the officer replies, “Get out of the car” and “I don’t care.”

Kavanaugh stop. Smashed the kid’s car windows and arrested him. He told them he was a U.S. citizen. The officer replied “I don’t care.”

Doge came to steal data and be racist and start and leak sensitive information of marginalized people

If you gloat or shrug you’re ignoring that.

Every ICE victim was terrorized by one or more perpetrators. Listen to the victims, investigate the ICE agents that attacked them, and press charges. Listen to the victims.

A federal judge just shut down the IRS–ICE pipeline.
47,000 names were already sent. Millions were next.

This wasn’t enforcement. It was a test to see how far private data could be pushed into surveillance.

The appeal is coming. And systems like this never stop at one group.

It is interesting to me how many of the “deprofessionalized” professions on the Dept of Education lists are people in the position to encounter evidence of abuse - especially for children- and are mandated reporters.

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.
Trump says he’s ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Somali refugees in Minnesota “immediately.”

They aren’t professional .. and they are jobs most likely to be achieved by non white / non men as leaving poverty

And these are the professions that most aid people in changing their places in the social hierarchy
🧵 Let’s be so effing for real right now. The Department of Education saying these jobs are no longer PROFESSIONAL is dumb as hell and insulting as fuck. It takes YEARS of post-graduate training, including passing certifying exams, to earn degrees in these fields. #fdt #momsky

I hope everyone in the Epstein Files gets outed, even if it will be disappointing in some cases. Regardless of political affiliation, fame, wealth, or any other reason, it’s indefensible behavior. Identify them all, let the chips fall where they may, and then move on.
