starting to feel some type of way about these stories of grossly incompetent fascists removing photos of the Enola Gay because gay, attacking Point Of Care studies because POC, transgenic research because trans
It's important to be clear: the problem is their goals, not their lack of precision

The infrastructure of the Internet would run longer without electricity than without trans folks tbh
If the US blocks access to HRT, ADHD drugs, and SSRIs, I cannot begin to describe to you how much all of the tech sector will screech to a halt. The internet is built and maintained by trans people, people with chronic depression, and the neurodivergent.

"newfound leverage" from the quid pro quo:
"With a newfound leverage over New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Trump border czar Tom Homan hosted the big-city Democrat on Thursday to discuss ramped-up immigration enforcement in the nation’s largest city."

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban.
Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.

It was always apparent but now it's increasingly undeniable that all these 20-something DOGE employees were chosen not *in spite* of inadequate vetting but *because* they would not pass vetting. Trump & Musk chose the people who seemed the most willing to commit illegal acts on their behalf.

Keeping up with the news/current events is making the world feel more and more like a prequel to a dystopian story. I’m not sure if I’m more afraid of a Christian-fascist dystopia or a technofascist dystopia but we’re on track for some horrible combo of both.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

As bodies are still being pulled from the Potomac, Donald Trump and his grossly incompetent administration are blaming this deadly crash on minorities and white women. This is disgusting, racist and sexist. Their reckless actions have consequences and they should be held accountable.

I think it would better, instead of adopting the MAGA framing, to call out specifically what they are saying. They are not blaming “DEI.” They are blaming Blacks, other minorities, women, and people with disabilities. It’s called scapegoating.

The major media is utterly failing to simply state that Trump is a vicious racist, who blames everything on presumed racial or ethnic minorities. How hard can it be to just say “In shockingly racist remarks Trump refuses to accept responsibility and blames deadly plane crash on minorities”

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.

President Trump and Republicans in Congress have no plan to lower prices for the American people. If they did, they’d work with Democrats to lower child care and health care costs. Instead, Republicans will distract with talk of renaming the Gulf of Mexico and going to war with Panama and Canada.

Absolutely no doubt about it. The old “sieg heil”. The old “Hell Hitler!” Don’t let the press, or MAGA, or anyone you know be mealy mouthed about it, or try to both-sides this. This is one of the unequivocal gestures of hate, specifically anti-semitism.

Not everyone can respond to every outrage. That's on purpose. But no need to get mad at someone for focusing on stuff *you* don't think is important. Let everyone focus on what they want to focus on.

It is simply not possible to evacuate over one million people in 24 hours from the zone of attack in Gaza. The answer to horrific atrocities by Hamas cannot be collective punishment upon an entire population, 50 percent of which are children.

So far she loves Cucú Te Quiero 🫶 and the colors 🌈 one. She’s indifferent to Mi Mami y Yo 🐘 but wants to eat the puppet. She likes the pictures in abejita 🐝 but after actually reading it I found the translation is bad so I just talk about the pictures with her (in Spanish obviously).
New Spanish/bilingual books arrived for the baby(7mo). Will update with her favorites.
