While women’s and gender studies programs are being closed down all over the country, the work feminist scholars have done has never been more important.

This resonates with me so much (and likely more than a few of you). The feeling of hopeless and powerlessness I felt watching ICE take a man walking through Eisenhower park after they nearly hit my car. I think about it every day and will go to my grave remembering the look on his face

First eyewitness accounts from this afternoon’s ICE shooting in Austin is here, from freelance reporter Emiliano Tahui Gómez.

Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such

Here in North Austin, where ICE agents appear to have shot an individual in his car. I spoke to two of the only witnesses.

Nedevia Bolaños and her husband, Carlos, own a business just off the intersection where the shooting happened. Shortly before 1 pm they says they heard what sounded like two gunshots. Carlos ran out first. A blue Toyota sedan and a black Escalade were stopped under the highway.Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such
 
He said he saw an olive-skinned man, seemingly in his 30s, leaning backwards against his seat. A masked agent was standing outside the car. The agent refused to answer questions. Within a few minutes as many as 10 other ICE agents arrived.

Carlos asked the victim if he was ok. "Yes," the man said in Spanish, but he looked exhausted. Carlos asked why they had shot him. "Because I didn't stop."Combined tweets, cutting tags and other such. 

Bolaños ran up next. She said she continously asked the ICE agents about why they'd shot him and if they were going to render aid. They didn't answer her. It was an APD officer who later arrived and cut open the young mans shirt, revealing a deep hole between his shoulder blades. The ambulance arrived about 10 minutes after and carried him off. "I've never seen all this. Thank God I'm a citizen," Bolaños said in Spanish. "Or I'd be living like this. In a dream of terror."

I feel the rest of the world (Americans included) have no idea of how aggressively the US is pushing to make Latin America into a giant colony. Every day we get news about political interference, increase in military presence, absurd trade demands, online propaganda, Venezuela being pillaged, etc
Headline from one of Brazil's biggest newspapers that reads: 
Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) warns the government and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) about the 'critical' level of escalating US pressure against Brazil in the elections.

Also it should be noted that UPMC the health insurance company is also not (entirely) the same as UPMC the hospital system. We had care and puberty blockers all covered by our UPMC insurance plan, at the private clinic. YMMV but don't spiral until you have to, ykwim?

Disgusting but predictable. (Please note that UPMC the hospital system is not the same thing as the Pitt School of Medicine.) If anyone in the Pittsburgh area is in need of peds gender affirming care, I know of a private clinic that offers it. My kid received care there, highly recommend. DM me.

Pierre Damas Bel killed himself out of shame and depression over being forced to wear an ankle monitor by ICE. It's just one among a host of cruelties accompanying the end of Haitian protected status and roundups for deportation. Naomi Bethune talked to people close to Bel for this report.
