Please help my friend, Asma. Any amount you can give is so appreciated and can make a huge difference. Let's keep those little girls smiling!! Link in bio to my linktree, which has her GFM. If you feel helpless watching what is going on in Gaza, this is a great place to start making a difference.

โItโs a Nightmareโ: The Human Toll of the Catholic Churchโs Trans Healthcare Ban
Missing hormones. Canceled surgeries. Bureaucratic denials. Late last year the Catholic Church banned all trans healthcare across its sprawling networks. The impact on trans people's lives is devastating. Here are some of those stories.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

People can say itโs utopian or dreamy but itโs a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because itโs not at all.

In a recent interview, I was asked about the British Museum as a site of public history. I replied that I'm not sure that that's what the BM is engaged in. The British Museum is about power, and power frequently seeks to obscure history.

I will keep screaming this from the rooftops-it's not a distraction to do normal social activities with comrades.* On a basic human level, you are more likely to show up for people you consider to be friends than people you consider to be activist buddies. It's just a fact, and not a moral failing.

Clearly these folks have never organized an event, likely because that work was delegated to the women in their lives who just "magically" make things happen. This is literally just event planning and phone trees, and especially with delegation and experience, it doesn't take long to put together.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
