This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

Update from Freedom Flotilla Coalition Press Officer, Hay Sha Wiya: "The Madleen is currently under assault in international waters. Quadcopters are surrounding the ship, spraying it with a white paint-like substance. Communications are jammed, and disturbing sounds are being played over the radio."

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

I want to engage the experiences of transfeminine people in particular. I am going to compile a list of personal anecdotes to try and answer the question, "How has Barbie or another doll influenced your experience as a woman? Has there been a positive or negative impact?"
My name is Emmett, and I'm taking a class discussing Barbie, dolls in general, feminism, and gender. For my original research, I want to engage the experiences of transfeminine individuals in particular.

Nothing makes me want to teach Critical Race Theory more than being told that can’t. Nothing makes me want to have babies less than being told I must. Nothing makes me want to be Christian less than the un-Christlike bullying done by Christian nationalists. This is an administration of cowards.

So what presses do we need to start now?
On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press.
She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm

Quiet, somber, grey ambiguity

Remember how bullies work and goad Trump with “President Musk” accolades. Let’s accelerate the rift.

First they came for the immigrant…
Next they came for DEI…
Then they came for gay marriage…
They took away people’s jobs.
They silenced information sites.
They tried to stop funding that Congress appropriated.
This is not a drill, folks.
