no more doomerposting and panicking. we r using our anger to motivate ourselves to ORGANIZE and FIGHT BACK and LOVE HARDER <3

if you're interested in staying informed on trans issues in a healthy and action-oriented way, i highly recommend supporting @transnews.network and @thefreeradical.org what i really like about this article is the explicit calls to action! and the conclusion that organizing WORKS!

Drawing from a range of attorneys experienced in fighting state repression — including @seth-stern.bsky.social and @leftistlawyer.com — this piece goes in-depth on the dangers faced by trans communities (and what we can do) without succumbing to panic or rumors. Edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social

A May Trump administration counterterrorism memo targeting trans people and antifascists sent misinformation throughout our communities. While there are real threats, there's also a lot of bluster and fearmongering from a weakening regime. @thefreeradical.org delves into what's actually going on.

My latest w/ TNN. Took over a month of work trying to talk to attorneys and getting enough info on this. I hope this can help dissuade immediate panic while still raising enough alarm bells for people to organize more.

Absurd cruelty — the sign of a weakening regime trying to intimidate increasing and widespread resistance — against the Prairieland defendants, including two trans women. Solidarity with political prisoners is incredibly important right now.

Boosting Lubna & her efforts to fundraise for her and her child. Any and all help goes a long way

i want people to read this, and then the replies to it, and then come back here. see the problem? yes, we have challenges, but they're not insurmountable, but so many people unfortunately see them as such. we can do more. we *should* do more. dont stop at nokings. go even further

BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's bid to seize the medical records of trans youth who have accessed gender-affirming care in New York City. We'll continue the fight to defend trans youth's right to privacy and end this harassment for good.

yo! quick question mark, why are you on the "potential future stories" list in my research obsidian, filed under "look into this guy" also can you just quickly read this old tweet of yours out loud?

the DOJ's counterterrorism messaging named "Antifa", "Anarchists" and "pro-trans extremists" as major threats. nearly a third of the 22 Prairieland defendants are trans. Autumn Hill and Meagan Morris, sentenced to 50 yrs each, have been held in men's prisons, even denied hormones in the last year.

Several protesters involved in a January anti-ICE demonstration at a St. Paul church service asked a judge to dismiss their federal charges, arguing that their protest did not amount to a violation of the laws they’re charged with breaking.

Elizabeth Soto and Meagan Morris were just sentenced to 50 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

Savanna Batten and Autumn Hill were both just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor.

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

Boosting my friend Soad and her son Omar in Gaza. I know it's easy to get desensitized to the plight of people going through hell bcz of social media doomscrolling, but don't let that make you forget that these are real people who are struggling right now. Your help can change lives

we need to give food unique names. none of this "grilled chicken with asiago ranch sauce and local herbs," call it the fuckin "cluckinator" or the "garden chicken delight"

People keep acting like the fascists care about "crime." THEY DO NOT. They care about domination & fear. They will fearmonger re: "crimes" committed by out groups while cheering on the "crimes" committed by "their people" Meanwhile liberals keep bleating on about hypocrisy when hierarchy matters.

I will say that I think it is no surprise the state works so vigorously to crush and criminalize anarchist organizing, given how incredibly effective it has been at creating change at the local level. They seek to crush it because Anarchist organizing *works*.

we need a heist movie where someone breaks into the british museum and steals everything to bring the items back to the cultures they belong fuck the british and fuck british museums

this is a prime example of how fucking fucking horrifying it is we're not taught about societies that arent european. this empire lasted for nearly 1000 years, had *intercontinental trade*, was based in modern day sudan... and its wiki page is smaller than trumps what the actual fuck

like i want to emphasize something. look at the number of kingdoms, empires, and states that existed in pre-colonization africa. besides for egypt, i was taught about NONE of these in school. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... THERES LITERAL HUNDREDS HERE. LITERAL HUNDREDS.

learning that europeans did not, in fact, invent indoor plumbing, bathhouses, steam turbines, metallurgy, among many other things today my mind is repeatedly blown and i am immensely furious at the american education system for teaching blatantly false information bcz of nothing other than racism

Hey everyone look for some extra help this month due to budget cuts at my workplace 💗 any help is appreciated

Posting to try and raise funds for my friend Jayla. She's a trans woman living paycheck to paycheck, and her workplace just cut her hours substantially, forcing her to drain her savings multiple times over. Any help goes a long way y'all <3 $jaylacay726 @Jayla-Cay-22

Boosting my friend Soad and her son Omar in Gaza. They're still struggling to make ends meet, and they need all the help they can get. Any boosts / donos goes a long long way

getting a decent chunk of new followers so time for another introduction thread - hi! im mira lazine, im a transfem anarchist journalist who primarily writes for the trans worker-owned news outlet i helped found, @transnews.network, and my own newsletter, The Free Radical!🧵

i have gained a lot of new followers of the last few days, so let's do some trickle down economy and send some of y'all to my friends as well. how's that sound? go.bsky.app/6a2mWvh

Thread. This is an incredibly common trans experience, especially for trans women. We are an overwhelmingly working class demographic that grapples with *a lot* of poverty and oppression. Things like this are the result.

this headline does more to normalize antisemitism than anything pro palestine groups on college campuses have ever done btw

this is chilling and highly relatable. in 2022, i was homeless multiple times over. lost all the belongings i couldnt carry twice. i was lucky enough to have a job & stayed in a shitty motel for a few months b4 friends took me in. most arent that lucky. if it werent for my friends... :<

Once more boosting Soad as she tries to support Omar amidst the genocide in Gaza

Love my new sticker from @transnews.network

The people who were indicted on "Antifa" charges in Minnesota today are accused of participating in community rapid response networks like hundreds of thousands of other people around the country. Everyone up to @maddow.bsky.social has promoted these tactics. This concerns all of us. Resist.

ICE has been going after legal observers here in the twin cities. minnesotan friends, if you face any harassment or feds going after you, reach out to the local chapter of the national lawyers' guild. they've been taking point on representing people website: nlgmn.org phone: 612-444-2654

Earlier this year, online MAGA media figures urged the Trump Admin to investigate and prosecute members of Signal chats used to coordinate anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis. Kash Patel said he ordered an investigation after seeing tweets about it. Today, we saw the result of that feedback loop.

also if u wanna support my work (though i did surprisingly little here except carry the risk of publishing) u can do so via ko-fi ko-fi.com/nyancrimew or by buying my merch at shop.crimew.gay

pretty interesting scoop. i'll be reposting the info in a thread here for archival's sake

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

some tentative good news - 4C increase in climate emissions is not going to happen by 2100, at least if things continue at their current rate. still doesnt mean we're in the clear - 2C - 3.7 C is on the table, and that's still extremely bad, but it isnt *as bad* as it could be

My child and I are living through unbearably harsh days in Gaza We are struggling to survive and clinging to hope🙏👇🏼 My child and I have lost everything our home, our safety, and our stability All that remains for us is hope in God and then in your compassionate hearts😭 Soad🥹💔

Once more boosting my friend Soad. She only needs $112 more to avoid being evicted this month
