I know all of us who understand what is happening are experiencing mental health challenges because of that.

The only message of comfort I can offer to this community of readers is this: you are correct.

What you think is happening is really happening, and is just as concerning as you think it is.

1️⃣ The Trump administration is back, and trans people are under attack—again. Republicans came into power with a plan to make life harder for trans people.

If you're wondering how to actually help, this thread is for you. 🧵

OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

From Mary Oliver

Empires My grandmother prophesied the end Of your empires, O fools! She was ironing. The radio was on. The earth trembled beneath our feet. One of your heroes was giving a speech. “Monster,” she called him. There were cheers and gun salutes for the monster. “I could kill him with my bare hands,” She announced to me. There was no need to. They were all Going to the devil any day now. “Don’t go blabbering about this to anyone,” She warned me. And pulled my ear to make sure I understood. - Charles Simic

This feels especially prescient today.

Apparently they believe Trump will issue an executive order to postpone the ban and so turned our access back on? What is this timeline, even?

I wake up in the morning. I sit at my computer. The internet screams at me that the world is on fire. I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

I would like this comic I drew in 2017 to stop being relevant pleeeaaaaase

Sources tell EITM that the vote on a Senate filibuster is expected to be "close," with some Dems capitulating.

The ban could apply to dancing, darts, and even chess.

I don't know if this is an autistic-brain thing, but one of the thing that really freaks me out about the current reality is that I really deeply and fundamentally don't understand why anyone would ever choose cruelty over problem-solving.

Remember in the movie “Aliens” when no one listened to the woman and then everyone died? That’s what the vibe feels like right now.

Do you have trans people in your life who you worry might be losing hope? Are you, maybe, one such person yourself?

Or, are you a fan of great writing by incredible trans people and want to read what they're thinking in this historic moment?

Assigned Media's Stay With Us package launches today.

If you’ve ever genuinely wondered why people don’t take “improve the police” as a serious answer.

Trans day of remembrance. Don't just focus on those trans people who have been murdered by strangers in public. Also remember the trans people who were denied healthcare, allowed to die in prison, encouraged to kill themselves by their loved ones, buried under the wrong name by their families.

YOU ARE ENOUGH,
