It is deeply insulting to Brianna Ghey's memory to pretend that a campaign backed by the likes of Rosie Duffield is doing anything to help children like her.
We've seen her reaction to a trans person discussing their suicidal ideation.

When Rosie Duffield is in on it I think we can safely say the anti-phone campaign in Brianna's name is actively at odds with tackling transphobia

Postscript: they wouldn’t let us run this poster, even after we cut all our photos of SUVs up and re-composited them into new frankencars.
We got them on the digital screens in the end but only as silhouettes

today outside immigration court someone said to the gaggle of photographers “thank you for the work you’re doing.” and one of the agents replied with “thank you” and the guy looked at him and said “not you.” 😂

AIPAC sucks, supports genocide, and is a hub for Christian Zionists as much as anyone. *And* at the same time:
When you vaguepost like this about issues unrelated to Israel suggesting an org associated with Judaism is to blame, you are at least FLIRTING with antisemitic conspiracy theory.

Trans women are already banned from all of the sports at an international federation level already. This framing is a lie aimed at hiding the fact they're now going after other women that they don't like.

Let me guess, you’re gonna pull the Milo Yiannopoulos defense now.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to realize that we acclimate very quickly to the events which constitute History Unfolding Before Us, so much so that we’re lulled into the useless belief that Nothing Ever Happens.
No! We are in the middle of significant change. Take care to pay attention.

Americans have staged two of the three biggest protests ever since just this summer, Democrats won by unprecedented margins Tuesday, Trump’s approval rating is the lowest it’s ever been, and the government is straight up closed until further notice.
Things have already happened and are happening.

District Judge Sara Ellis' injunction order limits how and when feds can use gas in the Chicago area.
It restricts the use of gas in "residential or commercial areas" that could risk injury to a plaintiff class member "who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to another person"

Basically: the very existence of holodecks is only sustainable if there's a whole functioning system of mental healthcare.
A society without that would just crumble into total chaos instantly.

Across Eastern Europe, they have what are known as "lustration" laws that do exactly this for people who were in the Stasi and its various equivalents. It's a model we should be examining.
Absolutely sadistic.
A Dem Congress should pass a law banning anyone who is currently serving with ICE or CBP from future Fed employment.
The Feds should condition all future Fed grants to police depts on blanket refusals to hire ppl who were in ICE/CBP right now.
