Tonight was a very bad night.

In "We Were The Lucky Ones" (true story of a Jewish family in Poland in WW2) the daughter learns her father has been detained. She puts on her most respectable dress to speak to camp guards, so they'll tell her the truth about if he's there.

Look at this man, in his suit. How is this happening.

The army is not enough! I demand that President Trump deploy the Navy to police the waters at my daughter’s swim lesson this AM. #WarRavagedPortland

ADL twitter statement offering support for wildly unconstitutional action to detain and strip status from a green card holder for pro-Palestine protests

BRB, checking the history books to find out whether “tyrant starts redefining peoples’ citizenship status” usually ends well for the Jews

the fact that people are being disappeared in the name of ""preventing antisemitism"" by a christian nationalist administration is making me nauseated and horrified in ways i cant even begin to explain

This is a venn diagram showing how 69 Trump actions map onto domains covering: undermining democratic institutions; suppressing dissent and media; dismantling social protections; attacking science and education; destabilising the global order. A table version is available here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LZN7QnbSyFfUZJG8Sn1MWpK0VnfBtb0OSyZ1jxP3xBk/edit?usp=sharing

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..."

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Trans beloveds. I love you. I love us.

I will fight for us with my entire life.

To be trans is revelatory.
It creates the possibility for everyone on this planet to exist outside of the colonial binary.

Yes, Elon did the Nazi salute on stage as a speaker at the inauguration of a US President.
Yes, he did it multiple times.
No, it was not an "accident."
No, it was not a "blunder."
No, it is not "open to interpretation."

For shame, ADL. Truly pathetic for you to come to Elon Musk’s defense. A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute.

I continue to be deeply moved by this statement to the heavens by President Carter.

I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation. They're breaking down-I don't have the word for it right now-but it's gender prejudice, and [the idea that] somebody has decided that they can tell you who you are, what your name should be, and how you should look. And those youngsters are saying, "No, I can decide who I am, what my name should be." Everybody's mad at me like, You should be a girl because we've decided you're a girl. And they say, "Well, who the hell are you?" I can decide that I'm a boy. And if it makes me happy, what does it mean to you? And I can decide that my name is John. And if you don't like that my name is Geraldine, why can't you name yourself? And if the people who know you and love you-or have to talk to you, maybe they don't even love you but they have to talk to you -you can tell them, “This is my name, and I would like to be referred to in that way."
