Alright folks, we're set up and we'll be live-tweeting! A few pre-event tidbits: there's already a huge line forming outside, as well as multiple protests, both on the sidewalk outside the event, and on the corner of the main street by Whitworth. Questions will be taken via lottery system.
Bad news: we won't livetweeting at the Spokane City Council Town Hall tonight. Good news: we WILL be at Baumgartner's Town Hall! We may or may not be livetweeting, can't make promises.

I want to be clear, I believe this man was tortured.
I try to remember that if they didn't think the laws still mattered they wouldn't be trying to skirt them, they'd just blow through.

Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

RC Joshua, I need you to answer for me crying at the wonderfully kind world you've made because our world is so, so far from it.
Why can we imagine such beauty and live here instead. 😭
Just finished Demon World Boba Shop Book 2 and I'm a mess.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.
They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.
Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.
I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Survive to be an elder. Do not let them outlive you.
Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Be safe sibs
The Trump administration said the executive order would not apply retroactively to current passports, meaning current passports, including those with X gender markers, remain valid. It is unclear how they intend to enforce the policy for transgender people renewing passports.

“Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.” T.Snyder.

To my own community: this is not just about immigrants.Trump has set up a challenge to the meaning of the provision of the Constitution written & ratified to ensure our full citizenship. We must protect its integrity in full. We can never be silent when the 14th is attacked. It is our legacy.
