“They were really counting on the American people having a kind of bloodlust — about immigrants .. in particular. And the American people don’t have that bloodlust. In fact, what they have is empathy. .. And a willingness to stand up ..”

you may have to squint a little to read between the lines but it says “daddy please don’t deport me or cancel the government contracts that made me rich”

Elon (an actual billionaire) neutered Trump in front of the world last week... so Trump launched a war inside America this week in hopes everyone will forget.

Very concerning escalation towards martial law being declared by Trump. Government will default in less than two months. This will provide more fuel to the fire, unfortunately. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there.”

delivered a #CupOfJoe that took aim at Felon Trump’s authoritarian regime. Pay attention.

We are #DemsUnited. There are #NoKings.

A sitting Congresswoman is facing federal charges for bumping into a cop during an oversight visit.

Meanwhile, Trump pardoned every single Jan 6th thug who stormed the Capitol, beat officers, smeared shit on the walls, and got people killed.

The irony isn't subtle. It's the point. #Resist

Convicted Felon Donald Trump believes in free speech only as it applies to people praising him.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

This basically says it all. “You can’t post your way out of fascism” Please read the article I’ve linked here and then let’s figure out how to get involved locally. We need to take it offline and into the streets, classes, and our community.

Many of us are justly terrified.

I'm terrified of how much and how many we will lose, especially among trans youth.

But I know that we will not break.
Every attempt to harm us will galvanize us more to resist. To fight back. To push back.

A world without trans people never existed and never will.

My latest reading from Maintenant 18. I’m up first. I do wish I had looked at the camera more for the last poem. Oh well… also - there are some phenomenal poets here. Maggs Vibo is exceptional, and the book is a fabulous work of art. #writinglife #poetsandwriters #poet #writers

The People’s March, moving through the streets of Washington D.C. today in opposition to Trump.

Trying hard to enjoy this last weekend of freedom. Birds of a feather…

There’s way too much scary shit happening in the world today, so please enjoy this little respite. Here’s cute Middie with a new toy. #caturday
