It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
Courage is contagious.

And then this is how it's going to go. Merely advocating for the most basic of civil rights for a disappeared person is enough for these goons to call you a terrorist, which then gives them the right to disappear *you*.
JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

So we're here now, apparently.
REPEAT: JUAN LOPEZ GOMEZ, AN AMERICAN CITIZEN, IS BEHIND BARS FOR NOT HAVING HIS PAPERS. AND A JUDGE SAYS SHE CAN'T FREE HIM.
🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Trans people belong.
Trans people belong in schools, in gyms, in shops and banks. Trans people belong in government. Trans people belong in sports.
Trans people deserve to live their lives the same as I do, afforded the same care and consideration I do.
Stand up. Get loud. Right now.

Today was the first day it really felt like spring here in Boston. Celebrated with a long 'lunch break' to go out on my bike. Did NOT want to come back to my desk.

It takes a lot to make me not want to pay my taxes, for a million reasons. It is deep, deep irony that THIS year is the year that we have to write a fucking enormous check to the feds, thanks to a banner employment year. I am SEETHING with fury.

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.
Reporter: The president of El Salvador said he would be willing to take American citizens in federal prison population.
Trump: I love that

I didn't take any pictures, but went to the Boston rally today, Despite chilly rain, the turnout was immense, but that was pretty much expected.
What I'm really loving is the pictures from the small places, some deep in red states, with crowds that are larger than expected.

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

Celebrated the time change yesterday by going on a nice easy hike with some friends. It was SO good to get outside after the freezing cold winter we've had.

One of the keys to an effective boycott is that even thinking twice or reducing business when it’s easy and convenient can be a big hit to the subject’s bottom line.
Thoughts on boycotts: inflict pain on the corporation. Buying a couple 99 cent ebooks from a self-published author on Amazon is fine. Don’t buy a microwave on it. Purity is never the answer. Restraint though and thoughtfulness is.

The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

This weekend is our library's yarn sale fundraiser. My haul from last night cost me $56 - and it's a doozy, includes 6 sets of my favorite no-longer-made nylon circular needles, more than one yarn that's no longer being made AND I got to support our library branch. All around win.
