I live in Chicago, here are some tips for dealing with the Black and Tans: Keep whistles on you to alert the neighborhood of ICE activities. Distribute whistles if you can. Post signage where people are taken, "ICE kidnapped someone here" is a powerful message. Stand firm in crosswalks or use your vehicle to obstruct ICE movement. Invite friends and family from rural areas to enjoy your cities, show them the only violence there is caused by the federal government. Post signage to alert your neighbor of the ICE activity. Record everything they do. Ask for warrants. They won't have one, but making them admit it is important. If they are on your private property, firmly tell them to leave. Sell them nothing and don't let them use restrooms. Protests. Protest. Protest. Every delay is a life saved. Remember, people aren't being deported, they are going missing.

So, this thread--particularly @lizthegrey.com's useful explanation of how the relevant databases actually work--is worth reading in response to the Erin in the Morning story that's terrifying our community today.

But I'll add a few broad points about Where We Are and scaremongering.

One more bump of this! We'd don't have to settle for a bill that does pretty good work. We can push for gold-standard protections.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

Predator: Badlands was Sooo so silly I loved it. Love a big action movies so stupid that everyone in the theatre applauded when credits rolled

a digital drawing of a gray cat with a capped eye and studded collar, leaning forward and bleeding from the nose. It looks at the viewer with defiance or determination. Text around it says “get killed eight times/ come back nine”. The red border around the image has two cars, arrows, knives, and poison bottles, numbered to match its deaths.

Keep Trying

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

"Here we believe in standing up for those we love, whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women Trump has fired, a single mom waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with your back against the wall. Your struggle is ours too."

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

oh KILLER

If you are going to mention the HHS Report, you have to contextualize it properly for the reader: that it was anonymous, not peer reviewed (not normal practice), widely criticized, etc. Readers don't know the quality of research unless you say!
