Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway.

I wrote a comprehensive guide for how gender allies can help trans people in these dark times. It’s organized by time commitment and level of experience with trans issues, so it should be accessible to anyone wanting to get involved.

No one elected Elon Musk.
As Donald Trump allows Musk to access people’s personal information and shut down government funding, Republicans in Washington will also own the consequences.
We must do everything in our power to push back and protect people from harm.

Rest in Power, Lorraine O’Grady.
So many of us working in Black creative traditions are her intellectual children. We have been lucky.
It is a big and sad thing to lose her and Nikki Giovanni so close together.

Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing.
I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤
