A couple of months ago, I posted a checklist of things one could do to be useful in these days of rising fascism.
Here’s Part Two of that list—more focused on ways to protect you and those in your tightest circles of care.
Part One is embedded and also skeeted below.

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35.
Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

This is objectively funny. Tried to get a grand jury indictment three times and failed- then dropped it to a misdemeanor and lost in court. Somewhere Pam Bondi is gnashing her teeth and blaming the jurors instead of admitting to her clear over reach.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

The anti-trans right heavily praised Gordon Guyatt as the “godfather” of evidence based medicine.
He worked for SEGM and was responsible for their GRADE reviews.
Now he disavows them, says evidence supports transgender youth care.

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine.
Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Peter S. Beagle I will love you until the day I die
![[ID: Text-intensive Twitter thread from the Shapeshifters chest binders Twitter account in reply to a post by artist and author Ursula Vernon. Vernon says, A non-zero number of you apparently did not know that The Last Unicorn was a book before it was a movie. It is by Peter S. Beagle. It is made of spun glass and fairytales and iron knives and there are individual lines that I would give my lungs to have written. Shapechangers replies, I saw him every year at NYCC for several years straight, bought something at his table, asked him to sign it, and we spoke. He remembered me from year to year, no small feat at that con. He remembered which stories he'd told me. One year I came back with a different gender on. He squinted at me a bit and said thoughtfully, "I've seen you before in this place." All I had to say was, "last year you told me the story about the inoshishi." And his face cleared, and he leaned in with a grin and told me about a German guitarist who he traveled with, twice. Who transitioned between the first and second time, so he'd gotten to meet this person all over again on the second round. It was a wonderfully kind way to let me know that everything was fine. I was fresh out of the closet and I needed that, and maybe he could see it. The Last Unicorn is the best book in the world and I will defend it and its author til I die. the end. /end ID]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kazs6skhkhitmtlhxwq2g264/bafkreigxvcrmm3rvnlyvqvekioqbrypd2l7z4vbzsgvjkncpmfr5fx72h4@jpeg)

I've become convinced that the hellfire preaching isn't just about the social control, it's that they know how many in their churches would believe in an eventual universal restoration of all things if they thought they could without divine punishment.
