Savanna once taught me that there are more than 35,000 sub-types of wasps and hornets. There are so many in fact, that at some point, biologists just stopped bothering with counting so the total may never be known.

Black Trans Texas Connection aka Thrive House is a pretty well known scam to Texas organizers. There is no "shelter". It is one dude that pops up every couple years to separate ne'er do wells from their cash and dox anyone that calls him out.

A new date has been set for the start of the Prairieland Defendants’ federal jury trial: Feb 17! We have been told by multiple lawyers this date is very unlikely to change. The North Texas federal court circuit in Fort Worth is well known for being fast and firm with trial dates.

Men who act in consistent solidarity with the gender marginalized must be gender traitors, must accept that other men will respond to that betrayal by demoting them in the gender hierarchy and pushing them into closer proximity to women. If that isn’t happening, meaningful solidarity isn’t either.

Ten months ago, the Trump administration deported two planeloads of asylum seekers—including 81 children—to Costa Rica, where they were put into a de facto prison. A group of Quakers in Monteverde was led to confront the Costa Rican government—and welcome some of these refugees into their community.
