This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

Stop worrying about what happens if we let kids transition. Worry about what happens if we don’t. What’s so scary about a transgender child?

ethics professor here, can confirm

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,

Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Going to throw a few more out here to add to Twin Cities Bookstores: Black Garnet is a newer bookstore in St Paul that specializes in BIPOC literature and has done a lot already to build a community space and there's also Louise Erdrich's Birchbark Books in Minneapolis

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

UM Regents! Hear Us! USU Needs a Deal by Friday! University Staff United, a union of 1800 student & instructional services staff on UMs campuses, have been negotiating a contract with UM HR since June of this year. We have made much progress on ...

We're writing the UM regents! Please join us! Management's disgraceful offer is both less than what we have received the last three years without a union (11.35%) & significantly less than what other unions on campus have gotten in their first contracts (~17%). UM staff deserve better!

AI is a lack of consent machine, emulating a slavery fetish , run by scammers

You must react everyday to what is happening. But that is no way to write a book or a sentence.

Rep. Tlaib’s Economic Dignity for All Agenda Would Bring Economic Security for Millions The agenda would lower poverty by 42% and child poverty by two-thirds.

This is quite interesting as it ends the CTC and EITC and creates a big child allowance (5600/y), a 2k baby bonus and a 3k/y UBI for adults 19-67. The Policy Engine (CC: @maxghenis.bsky.social )folks did an analysis of the net impacts...

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

We just created a round-up of organizations providing food help for Detroiters! Here it is, feel free to share to anyone who needs it. 🫶🏾

Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

UMich says the Ypsi Data Center won’t “manufacture nuclear weapons.” What does Los Alamos think? University administration must make a choice: Will it side with the public and live up to its stated ideals of serving the public good and public interest? Or will it side with LANL and spend hundreds...

Did you know that the university of Michigan is building the world’s largest supercomputer for Los Alamos National Labs’ nuclear weapons production programs, and paying for $830 million of it despite not being able to use >90% of it?

The Wall Street Journal needs to issue a full retraction and apology to the trans community for this. Nothing less will suffice. They put us all in danger and recklessly put out incorrect information.

THREAD. Something must be said about the New York Times. We are in the midst of a full-blown fascist takeover, and the NYT let one of its most dishonest reporters publish an article today full of misinformation arguing for massive new investments in police and surveillance.

Farm workers are being terrorized, imprisoned, and deported without due process. Trump's immigration sweeps unjustly target farm workers, Latinos and other vulnerable communities. This goes against American values. This July 4th weekend, take action and message your Congress Members. Link below. ⬇️

Hey.

Two-thirds of people DON'T KNOW what's in Trump's budget bill, even though it will affect all of us. Polls show when people know what's in it, they don't want Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

So let's make sure more people know what's in it 🧵

not great!

I am sure everyone will look the other way, but the guy who just won the Democratic mayoral primary in NYC _ran on expanding access to trans healthcare._

“Legal path to transition” might be one of the most violent anti-trans phrases I’ve ever heard.

A messy pile of pink and purple rubber stamped and initialed booklet covers.

I prepped another slew of 40 more covers for my booklet Why Self-Publish Under Fascism? The print run is up to 885 since May 1 now. Tomorrow I’ll change gears and start printing a new booklet. halfletterpress.com/why-self-pub...

Folks, @resnikoff.bsky.social is right
