Young Man with a bullhorn and a large marching band drum stands in front of a statue on Market Street as colorfully dressed people stand around him. A person dressed as spiderman sits on top of the statue mount, and one in cardinal red "mouse ears" stands next to the parade leader.

Reject the Linguistic Coup: Speak Up for Trans People The Trump administration is trying to shape public perception on transness by manipulating language and symbols—don’t let it.

This week's list of must-reads includes this piece from my friend Willow Schenwar, a trans woman who writes, "Fascists will go as far as they can to try to shape public perception and create oppressive realities by manipulating language and symbols—don’t let them."

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

one of my real hot takes that goes along with "discomfort is not harm," is that you actually benefit from being a little uncomfortable sometimes. its ok! its normal! its life! if you never feel uncomfortable, discomfort WILL feel like harm, & you'll will never develop any resilience for the future.

Ok so lots of people want to know how to help immigrants right now, which is great! Here is a brief thread about what I learned from @ufw.bsky.social folks while hanging out with them. They also hold training so if they're in your area, look em up and ask if you can attend!
