Why Transgender People Are Not Feeling Gavin Newsom We have seen this song and dance before.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.

I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.

There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

At least 4 homeless folks froze to death in DC during the recent winter storm.

In the capital of the richest country in the world.

Where we're spending $1.65 million a day to pay for the Nat'l guard to do nothing.

It does not have to be this way.

They get the axxon api setup to direct feed this shit into their facial rec system so they don't have to carry phones and can free up their hands for more canisters and triggers

House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too “The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

Deb I am driving to Hazelton tomorrow and your tales of travel woe are making me very nervous!

How is it possible that Dems are still talking about reform? They do not need better training on how to brutalize and document it. None of this needs to exist and the solution is to end it now. You are seeing human beings murdered in the street and want to compromise about paperwork.

The National Guard is still patrolling DC, carrying handguns & long rifles, patrolling vibrant community spaces in packs to intimidate residents, especially Black residents, of the city.

Keep that in mind as you see the videos of them handing out pizza & coffee in MN.

Childhood memory unlocked of going to the wonderbread factory here in DC with my mom on the day they sold stuff cheaper. The smell was glorious. It is now a coworking space.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

It should not be up to children to fight such heroic battles

any political project that does not have as its goal the destruction of the system that produced that video is not worth a moment of your time

WE HIT OUR MATCH GOAL! You raised $30k for abortion access. With our match, you *doubled* your impact—getting us to $60k this month alone.

…Which begs the question: Can we get to $100k?

When a disabled person expresses concerns over assisted dying legislation, please listen to them.

Don’t speak over them.

Don’t assume they want to deny you the right to die.

We’re fighting for our right to live.

We’re fighting fascism & eugenics.

Assisted Dying policies will always target us.

I wouldn’t recommend my kid attend my Alma mater. Which is not how I ever would have predicted feeling.

Shockingly, this bill would have failed were it not for the 3 Democrat defections.

‘Bloodshed was supposed to stop’: no sign of normal life as Gaza’s killing and misery grind on The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’ for Palestinians squeezed into the remaining 42% of their land behind Israel’s ‘yellow line’

The term ceasefire ‘risks creating a dangerous illusion life is returning to normal’

Since the US-brokered ceasefire was announced on 10 October, Israeli forces have killed more than 360 Palestinians in Gaza; according to a UN official, at least 70 are children

Times are hard. I had my window busted out my car this week. It is both a sign that people are on the brink and it happened to cost me some unplanned money out my pocket. There are tents for $50 on this list, and it can help keep a person warm in the snow. Smaller donations make a difference too.

Remora House needs tents in DC. It’s actually important to move on these requests quickly because of need, supply chain issues, and how manufacturers manipulate prices. Let’s do this for folks without housing in one of the most militarized places in the US.

Looking for places to give that are local and directly support people….

Delightful

I am overall positive about this development. wary of the crime narrative surfacing so early and without provocation. Please don’t go touting putting kids in cages as a positive resume builder. Please hold the line on community involved, restorative, noncarceral solutions to increase public safety.
