alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

The ADL’s response to Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute two times: x.com/adl/status/1...

@ADL
This is a delicate moment. It's a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let's hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

Materials of Solidarity: posters, flyers, zines, and pamphlets of the 🇵🇸 solidarity movement — curated by Nadine Fattaleh at NYU’s Asian/Pacific/American Institute. So many recent exhibitions have incorporated small libraries - in the exhibition space, rather than as an addendum!
Gallery view, featuring wall text, rows of postcards, and orange seats Two rows of exhibition brochures, in the form of small orange folders A people’s library featuring a small selection of zines A sample of six postcards pertaining to Palestine solidarity

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 18/01/2025
Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Isn't it a shame that so few people in the US know about the path Turkey has gone through over the last decade when so much of it playing out in the same way there?

When well-meaning journalists describe this as “heckling” we contribute to an ideological mischaracterization. Instead, we should be more precise: “a reporter repeatedly asked questions about ..ICJ etc. Blinken refused to answer, reporter was forcefully removed by police”

Israel killed 80 Palestinians in Gaza today, 30 of whom killed after the ceasefire deal was announced. Israel always accelerates its massacres in the lead-up to ceasefire deadlines. Gaza also remains a besieged concentration camp reduced to rubble. The crisis is far from over.

The year before Oct 7 was the deadliest year for Palestinian children. We will not accept that as normal. The 75 years of apartheid was the reason why Gaza existed as an open air prison. We will not accept that as normal. Free Palestine.

A lifetime. 3 are cleared for transfer if somewhere can be found to take them. 7 face charges with no trial date on the horizon.

The extreme sanctions placed on all of the students charged w/ participating in the protest can only be explained as a complete collapse in any kind of due process and instead the arbitrary meting out of collective punishment – regardless of the actions of any individual student.
