Check in on your trans friends and loved ones. A lot of us are not OK lately, even if we're not wearing that on our sleeves.

Really great thread. Read it, internalise it, realise that solidarity is an absolute necessity.
The thing about accepting Newsom's depravity against trans people or the homeless on the grounds of "Yeah, that's bad, but we have to beat Trump or it'll be worse." is that by accepting it, you mark it as acceptable, both within your mind and in the larger world around you.

I'm reading @charliejane.bsky.social's new book "Lessons in Magic and Disaster," and I love it more than I can concisely express. I feel extremely seen in all the best ways. Do yourself a favor and get a copy if you haven't already!

There is absolutely no excuse for any Democrat asked about trans athletes to ever respond with anything but “why are you wasting my time asking about FEWER THAN FIFTEEN CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY WHO WANT TO PLAY GAMES WITH THEIR FRIENDS. What is wrong with you?”

The Politics of Humiliation
The politics of humiliation has moved to the center of the reactionary project under Trump II.

@governor.ca.gov - Mr. Newsom, I've been your constituent for your entire political career. I voted for you many times. Thanks to your cowardly, cynical attempts to connect with the right wing over my dignity and rights as a human being, I'm never going to do so again.

They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for their position. The new generation of refuseniks is supported by the older, many of them spent months in jail already

Maxim 1: any sufficiently determined entity can discover what you're up to at any given time. This isn't sci-fi, just science; we exist in a time in which privacy is tenuous at best.

Important for Dems to not only pull out all the stops to bring Garcia home but keep his story front and center. This is much more than abt immigration now - this is abt the basic foundations of our Constitution. Our country's founding fathers fought a revolution & declared independence over this.
Shamefully, immigration appears to be what has kept his overall approval numbers higher than what they should be given that he’s been getting crushed on so many other issues. If he loses the country on this, he’s heading towards late 2nd term George W territory

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.
NEW: A second filing today from the DOJ tells Judge Xinis that in their view, since Mr. Abrego is in Bukele's custody, she can't order them to do anything further to bring him back since that's not what "facilitate" means.
They also say the deal with Bukele is classified and/or a state secret.
