You're absolutely right that white supremacy is at the root of this! This is a systemic issue that banks off of people staying divided and blaming each other. White ppl being ignorant dipshits are a symptom, not the cause.

Not trying to argue, just wanna find ways to be constructive in this mess🧡

I feel you, I'm able to fall asleep alright but I wake up with my heart racing. By far the thing I've found most soothing is to take back a crumb of control and put that energy into an org that's making a difference. For me that's the PSL, maybe check them out :3

So true! Balance is key. And also maybe put some of that time and energy to an org dedicated to doing good in the world. Personally, I've been looking into the PSL and loving what ive seen so far, highly recommend yall check them out

True, white people of any demographic hold the responsibility for this mess. However, BOTH parties represent the interests of billionaires, NOT normal ass people like you and me. They want us to blame and argue instead of collecting around a 3rd party that actually represents our interests

Some basic facts about trans women:
- Our healthcare is older than heart surgery
- We have a demonstrated *disadvantage* in sports
- We are one of the most economically disenfranchised groups in the US
- 1 in 5 have been incarcerated at some point

- "debate" about the first two causes the last two

Add this to the ever growing pile of reasons why we NEED a third party that actually has a damn spine!! (not to tell anyone what to do, but if you feel that frustration too, maybe go check out the PSL, they're a breath of fresh air in an increasingly forked up political world)

This is chilling. In September, as Elon Musk began buying Trump a presidency after Trump promised him a federal department he could use to destroy his enemies, Trump agents at the Heritage Foundation began filing FOIA requests to find anyone in government who had ever mentioned Musk in any document.

Humanizing terms help shift you into a solidarity mindset. Words mean things!

"Migrant" centers the journey.

"Asylum seeker" centers the goal.

"Refugee" centers the legal status.

"Beneficiary" centers an economic relationship.

"Newcomer" centers a relationship to the community.

WE ELECTED NEW WORKING FAMILIES PARTY CHAMPIONS Sade Elhawary, California Assembly. Gabriella Romero, New York Assembly. Kamela Smith, Delaware House. Laurie Sweet, Connecticut House. Larinda Hooks, New York Assembly. Claire Valdez, New York Assembly. And in NEW MEXICO a slate of 8 WFP champs defeated corporate Democrats. PLUS WE SENT A NEW WFP CHAMPION TO CONGRESS: Lateefah Simon (CA-12)

In several states, we grew Working Families Party blocs in state legislatures.

That means more leaders who will fight for the people over the rich now have the power to shape laws that affect our daily lives.

Here are a few:

Jan Kelly - Justice for Jake Kelly | Linktree Jan Kelly is the mom of Jake Kelly, a gay man murdered in Arizona.

Hi all, I want to take a moment to ask you to please donate to Jan Kelly, who has been seeking justice for her gay son's beating death for the past 15 months.

Jan has been taking on neo-Nazi skinheads and a justice system that would rather brush aside a gay bashing.

Please give if you can.

"Defiance must be woven into the fabric of our daily lives, rather than simply proclaimed at marches or on social media... many quiet acts of disobedience—like a healthcare worker’s refusal to aid in criminalizing a patient—have the potential to save lives and interrupt state violence."

This is a difficult moment, but it also opens up the possibility of new organizing strategies and new energies. People’s lives are at risk, and we need to fight even harder on all levels — on the policy front, in the streets and in the workplace. Trump won a lot of the working-class vote, but we know he won’t deliver for workers. We need to push for things like rent control and child care and a higher minimum wage. We shouldn’t be watering down our demands now. We should be even bolder. There are different ways of participating in democracy that go beyond voting, whether that be workplace organizing, marching and protesting, or community assemblies. We need to recognize that we’re in a position of power, not weakness, because we hold the levers of the food system in this country.

Must-read article. The threats are not only of mass deportations, but also of rollbacks on heat stress and pesticide protections for farm workers, and the expansion of guest worker programs that are essentially human trafficking schemes. BUT:
