Scratch a transphobe, find a misogynist. They don’t care about protecting women, they care about controlling us. Transphobia is a threat to all women’s rights.

Yesterday I had a busy morning but a restful afternoon, so I was expecting I'd be mostly ok today. But I didn't sleep much, and had a minor stressor this morning - as a result my autonomic issues are having a party. HR all over the place, drained, brain fogged, uncoordinated etc. Really

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP. That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care. Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

I know you know this, but for folks who aren’t here: ICE uses racial profiling and AI tools that “estimate” your chance of citizenship to decide who to detain. They often refuse to accept documentation of someone’s right to be in the U.S.—and may destroy it instead.

Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.

Fascism thrives on spectacle & complicity. CBP/ICE/police are forces of terror that feed off illusions of their own invincibility. Their power depends on us hiding, shrinking & giving into fear. They want deference—we serve back defiance because we know we have each other. Minneapolis doesn’t cower🖤

George Washington was many things over the course of his lifetime. He was a president, he was general, he was a planter, he was a husband. He was also an enslaver. In order to understand who Washington was, you have to hold all of those things together. You can’t run from the parts you don’t like.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.
