I do not know what will happen, and there is plenty of room for concern, but it is impossible to watch videos of prisoners being released from Assad’s Sednaya prison and not be moved.

Tonight is probably one of the worst mental health crisis in the trans community I've ever seen. It's bleak. So many people are in crisis and I'm scared I'm going to wake up tomorrow and have lost friends.

Please reach out to your trans friends and family. They could use some love.

I think we underestimate how much of Republicans' signaling and decision-making is based not only on political expedience, but literal fear that angering Trump and his followers will endanger their β€” and their families'β€” safety.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the β€œundocumented.”
