Mason had been approved by the FBOP for gender-affirming surgery since 2022. He was transferred from FCI Danbury, a male facility, and after living there for two years, he was transported to FMC Fort Worth, where he was to undergo gender affirming surgery. 2/4
Marius Mason currently has a little over a year and a half to go on a near 22 year sentence.

With every wave of mass protests comes the need to debunk the notion that some forms of protest are good and others are bad. These five resources are valuable tools for debunking the good protester/bad protester fallacy and resisting attempts to divide movements. anarchistagency.com/five-resourc...
Q: "Why are culture and art important while the world is burning?"
A: "The world has been burning since 1492. Art and culture have been crucial for creating a sense of belonging, spreading radical ideas, resisting empire, imagining new worlds, building community, and helping you find your murder."
Just as we feared, Marius has been moved:

It remains to be seen whether that means they will get scheduled surgeries, and it remains to be seen whether the current administration cares about compliance with judicial orders, but it is overall good news to celebrate.
ICYMI: An injunction was granted last week in a trans prisoner case the D.C. case by Judge Royce Lamberth.
This ought to constrain BOP, and preserve the status quo, meaning that all trans prisoners, including Marius, remain where they are and continue to receive healthcare that they were getting.
Show Marius some love and solidarity by sending him a letter here:

Trump's first-day anti-trans order seeks to deny gender-affirming medical care to trans prisoners, among other attacks, in violation of the 8th and 14th Amendments.

The future of free speech and our ability to fight for climate justice is on the line in what promises to be an epic battle… of wits.
Trial is set to start on February 24 in North Dakota.

Though no one was physically harmed in these actions, at sentencing the judge applied a so-called “terrorism enhancement,” adding almost two years to an already extreme sentence requested by the prosecution. This is the harshest punishment of anyone convicted of environmental sabotage to date.
After being threatened with a life sentence in 2009 for these acts of sabotage, he plead guilty to arson charges at a Michigan State University lab researching genetically modified organisms for Monsanto. 12 other acts of property damage were included in his plea deal.
Marius Mason is an anarchist, environmental and animal rights activist currently serving nearly 22 years in federal prison for acts of property damage carried out in defense of the planet.
