The Anti-Trans Playbook | Paisley Currah The current crusade against trans people imperils not just their rights but the survival of the legal doctrine built to protect all women from discrimination.

Detail of an In progress oil painting that is starting to look like something, in this case, a dog.

A thing I love about oil painting (which I am new to) is that you paint some blobs and then dab at the blobs and suddenly you start to see recognizable forms.

That actually… I mean, a tiny journalism comic on a keychain with key reference facts on an issue? That might slap. Couldn’t be me I’m too busy spending 10 years researching one comic for no money but… someone should.

I don’t know, maybe if this person didn’t limit replies (evidently only to people who think BDS is antisemitic) someone could explain the goals and tactics of BDS to her πŸ€”

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks β€” a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

β€œShort bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], β€˜you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

If you want to help with the flooding you could maybe pick one person on this list (I’ll quote tweet the bottom of it in the next post so not everyone picks the first few families) and maybe champion them- you could message them if you like or just make a post/ send it in the group chat etc
