well, I never expected to be published in a Stanford journal, but the McKnight Foundation asked me write my thesis to the philanthropic world after the MN ICE surge: when there is an emergency, just... give money to people on the ground doing the actual work. as fast as possible. radical, I know.

A sign that tells it like it is. Minneapolis.

This story is gaining some traction, which I’m so grateful for. But I am seeing some people discuss engaging with the bot, and I really want to caution against doing that, even as a joke. Doing so is putting yourself in harm’s way. 🧵

This is gender-affirming care! The right aren't against gender-affirming healthcare, they just think only cis, straight, white people should get it.

It’s so important to remind people that we can do good smart things that help and don’t hurt.

Just a simple biblical observation

Note to self

BRING 👏 BACK 👏 BOOK-IT 👏 FOR 👏 ADULTS

I mean, Belgium deserves to win solely on the strength of their beautiful trans flag kit. #worldcupposting

Okay yes, England has more goals, but Mexico has had more possession time, more shots on goal, more steals, and their whole team is hot, sooooooooooo you tell me #worldcupposting

*rubs my grubby queer little hands all over your theology Me: Oh sorry were you gatekeeping that? *queers your theology harder

Black girls are already adultified in schools-being seen as older, less innocent & more sexualized. Bans on trans girls are going to catch cis Black girls in hypersurveillance & hyperpunishment. Protect trans girls and kids. Protect Black girls. Fight against trans bans. Fight for trans kids

In light of today’s heartbreaking Supreme Court ruling, A Bar of Their Own will be raising funds for Transforming Families tomorrow from 5-8pm 🏳️‍⚧️

The *may* part is really, really important to stress here. Other states may choose bans, but in Minnesota we can continue to support inclusion.

Now (really, yesterday) is the time to double-down on ways in which we commit to supporting gender-expansive kids in every way we can, at the individual and community level.

Happy Pride from the Minneapolis City Council! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Good news! For more about why this is great, check out @chrisdstedman.bsky.social's article here: www.startribune.com/mpls-bathous...

So happy and thankful for all the folks who worked to make Minneapolis safer for everyone! 🎉 Feels so rare to get wins like this these days!

Note that Exeter is one of the few places in the world where people are working on trans theology in a dedicated way. Depending on where these cuts fall, it could be genuinely disastrous for this tiny field, where individual researchers make a proportionally larger contribution to the field overall

I'm so excited for the session on conflict on Sept 2nd!!

lot of nihilists in the replies. like obviously this doesn't mean they're giving up on mass deportation and the situation remains dire. but because people threw sand in the gears it no doubt slowed down the administration's plans and that is something deserving of recognition.

there are still many, many reasons to be skeptical and worried because ICE is fucking evil and could pivot, but this is a MAJOR defeat for trump. even the reddest of red areas were like fuck no we don't want a concentration camp in our town. it became politically untenable bc people fought back.

holy shit????? ICE is getting rid of seven of the 11 would-be concentration camp warehouses they purchased and sec. mullin indicates new mass detention centers are not priority. huge!

The Minneapolis activists arrested for defending their communities this week heartened and comforted each other in their jail cells by singing.

I spoke to a handful of organizers from across the country about where they're finding hope as we continue the struggle for disability justice into the second year of Trump 2.0. If you're feeling overwhelmed and looking for direction, I hope you'll find it here ❤️‍🩹

The Trump administration has abandoned its effort to halt wind energy projects... States that challenged the order hailed the development as one of the most significant legal victories against the Trump White House’s campaign against the energy transition. arstechnica.com/science/2026...

24 detainees were loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP, which we're recording and sharing as usual, despite the DOJ's attempt at intimidating fellow Minnesotans with frivolous charges. We're still here. We're still watching. Fuck ICE. 🧵👇

The conspiracy to feed your neighbor, stand up to Nazis, keep kids from being orphaned, give coats to folks thrown from detention into -25 degree temps...

Q: Here in Minnesota, people still have questions as to why there isn't any prosecution or charges filed against the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti ROSEN: Those investigations are ongoing. We're not going to get into the details.

Q: How many officers were injured as a result of these alleged actions? ROSEN: All of those numbers on this will roll out in the course of the prosecution. Whether they actually caused bodily harm is not the measure of if they committed a serious federal crime (Sounds like none!)

Have you observed or protested Federal operations? Know your rights and defend them.

Definitely echoing this. Tell your story. Say what happened. You might be the first in your community, but you certainly won't be the last.

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

may we remember speaker hortman every time a kid in Minnesota eats their free lunch. every time a trans person moves to mn for safety. when an undocumented person gets their driver’s license or a returning citizen gets to vote. when we have clean energy and electric school buses and warm homes.

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Anthony Stewart Head will always be a real one for this. RIP www.thepinknews.com/2019/12/20/a...

and it is my civic duty as the resident trans werewolf guy to remind everyone of this banger from Buffy

George Floyd was murdered 6 years ago on May 25th - Memorial Day. The 6th annual Rise & Remember Festival will take place at George Floyd Square on Monday, the first year Memorial Day has landed on the 25th since. Thought i'd share some of my past photos: chaddavis.photography/sets/rise-an...

In the category of "good news often gets buried," thanks to my city council rep @sorenwithward8.bsky.social for both voting down the "cop city" proposal and supporting a 6 month ban on AI data centers in Minneapolis! Support your local city council folks doing good things!!

Minneapolis People's Pride is just over 15% of it's $20k fundraising needs in order to put on a successful event in just over one month from right now. Please consider supporting this event that many people look forward to all year as a community-led Pride event. www.mplspeoplespride.com/donate

There’s a massive immigration operation in Memphis right now, but you may not have heard about it. Why? Community members face retaliation for trying to spread the word out, a lawsuit alleges.

Updated ArtemisTimeline.com with about 100 photos from the new drop! You can click "new crew photos" if you just want to see the new ones!

May the 4th be with you as we are living in a crisis where the distance between what it said and what is known to be true has become an abyss Even so, you are not alone, you have friends everywhere

There’s so much going on right now that the ever-growing attempt to erase trans people is slipping by some folks.

Happy New Murderbot for those who celebrate!

Imagine being dropped in the middle of a country you've never been to, have no connection to, have no support in, with nothing and no way home. #AbolishICE
