Still thinking about Claudia Patricia Gomez Gonzalez, killed near Laredo in 2018 by the Border Patrol. Number 82 on this list of 364 people killed by the CBP since 2010. Impunity is not new. Thanks to Southern Border Communities Coalition for this list: www.southernborder.org/deaths_by_bo...

With the current situation in Minneapolis, let’s not forget the Prairieland Defendants who deserve more eyes and support. They’re facing decades in prison and a hostile judge over holding a noise demonstration outside of a detention facility. www.givesendgo.com/supportdfwpr...

fyi the course looks at trans as a prefix that leads us into thinking about crossing languages, borders, genders, spaces. trans as in translation and transitivity and even transhumance! so trans as a wide lens not as identity category. sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

To know if I pass means knowing what cis people are thinking about my gender, and well, I have no idea how cis people think anymore. Nor do I have time or energy to worry about finding out.

This sentence has been caught in my teeth for days, chewy and true and hard to live up to— We're given so many chances to sell out [everything]. Good to remember it's not an imperative.

im really wondering if there are any lgbtq-friendly re-entry programs or resources in houston for folx coming outta prison, if any of yall know. im helping support a new friend recently released and she is trans. all the re-entry programs i have found seem very religious-oriented

It's now illegal for me to use the bathroom of my gender in my home state. Here is how we got here in Texas: thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/04/a...

more anglo white ladies who take on latino last names (sometimes from their husbands, sometimes out of thin air) who slip into cosplaying latinidad ugh please stop

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong. Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

I deeply appreciate stories like these: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/21/e... [gift link]. People are in motion everywhere.

An astonishing figure in this piece: Last year, the U.S. budgeted $12.8B for new affordable housing. This country is now poised to spend $45B on immigrant detention centers. That's nearly *four times* as much on cages as on homes—in the middle of a devastating housing and homelessness crisis.
