Books mentioning slavery, civil rights removed from shelves at Fort Campbell schools - ClarksvilleNow.com At an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, librarians are hard at work scrubbing the shelves for books that contain references to slavery, the civil rights movement...

They are just going to outlaw all of us soon. Black and brown people, women and anyone who doesn’t fall into their man/woman category.

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

The argument that 504 itself is unconstitutional and should be thrown out isn't even mentioned until you're 37 pages deep in the 46 page complaint. It's buried on purpose - a common legal narrative strategy to lure the audience in and once they're on your side, drop in the more controversial stuff.

It feels like they're relying on the hatred of trans folks to win them the day, because just going after Section 504 might not be popular enough with the court. But tie it to a group disfavored in the Fifth Circuit and you're off to the races. This is why our liberation will always be intertwined.

i can't emphasize enough the role that transphobia plays in Texas v Becerra. The states get their foot in the door by arguing that they intend to keep discriminating against trans folks and it's unfair to punish them for doing so. And then use that to undermine ALL of Section 504.

Congressional delegation outside USAID now: “We are here to shed a light on a crime unfolding before our eyes.”

My friends, every activist and hero I look up to has said the same thing:
Rest.
Don’t get caught up in the bullshit.
Stay connected with your people, build local community
Remember who you are.
Have each other’s backs.
Amp up that self care. ❤️

Repeatable is the key.

As we speak, an unelected billionaire, born in South Africa, is staging an unconstitutional coup in the US, shutting down an agency—USAID—that happened to fight the apartheid regime he and his family thrived under as rich whites.

Now take a moment and read that again.
