I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Panels from a comic where Captain America decries the US invasion of Panama and the fabricated war on drugs, expressing frustration that the US is on the wrong side of every war.

Three Democrats (Cuellar, Gonzalez, and Davis) joined the Republicans to pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's federal ban on gender affirming care through the House of Representatives. It is repugnant that the federal government won't give people health care, but it will TAKE IT AWAY from trans people.

For those keeping track, this makes two recent, draconian pieces of anti-trans legislation — the NDAA's sports ban and now the blanket trans youth care ban — that would not have passed the House without Democratic support.

We need clear communication with the people. And if the government won’t meet people’s material needs during this shutdown, the party should. It’s time to use our resources to help others, not just get candidates elected. More food banks, less fundraising.

Genuinely though, now is the time for Dems to put those funds to use like Kat Abughazaleh did. Not with ads and robocalls but using those funds to support affected workers and families, shoring up food pantries, and making sure their constituents have what they need to get through this.

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown

Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

as usual, Margaret eloquently summarizes the thoughts that have been drifting around in my head this week. @margaret.bsky.social

I'm not afraid of the fallout of last week's news because everything bad that might come out of it was already being planned. They've already been scapegoating trans people for everything bad in this country and are trying to criminalize our existence. They've already been talking about declaring "Antifa" a domestic terror organization. They're already funding a genocide (and were before the current administration) and they were already ramping up ICE infrastructure as fast as they possibly can. I don't know that there's any further acceleration available. The fascist pedal is already to the fascist metal.
That's not to say that things aren't going to get worse: they are going to get worse. They're just, as far as I can tell, getting worse as fast as they already can. Our actions aren't going to someh convince the fascists to get even more
fascist. There's an odd sort of freedom in that realization. We can—and should-collectively stop saying shit like "oh if you behave a certain way, it will just embolden the fascists." They're already as bold as they can get.

We’ve built a system which manufactures homelessness out of smaller, addressable problems and takes basic human needs and makes them into crises to which we can respond with force. We then use that force to justify not helping. Then when people have no options left, we lock them up. Over and over.

Involuntary “treatment” does not work. What it does do is permanently alienate people with addictions from potential treatment providers, drives up overdose deaths and maximizes “revolving door” use of facilities such that people who are ready to make a change and want treatment can’t get a bed.
