Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.

44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
officials.

you do not gotta hand it to third way. wtf is trans advocates have “gotten more pragmatic” plus there’s a whole quote where the implication was it was fine to dog on trans rights when that meant kids care and sports. fuck off (3rd way, not assigned)

The Criminalizing Homelessness Cycle There's a blog post about this #PoliCartoon at www.patreon.com/posts/115113.... Doing cartoons like this takes a lot of time - and I can do it because of all the super cool people supporting the work at patreon.com/barry.

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON

This cartoon has four panels, arranged so that they can be read in a clockwise circle. Each panel shows the same character - a homeless man wearing jeans, a hoodie, and a knit cap. I'll call him "Knit."

TOP PANEL

Knit is lying on a park bench, looking like he just woke up, and with a confused expression on his face. A cop holding a billy club stands over him.

COP: Get up! Public sleeping is now a crime. You're going to jail.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

RIGHT HAND PANEL

Knit, looking confused and unhappy, is being kicked out of a building that has a sign over the door: "JAIL." Knit looks confused and unhappy. We don't see anything of the person kicking Knit out except for the shoe and leg that are doing the kicking.

KICKING GUY: You've served your time. Get out!

An arrow leads from that panel to:

BOTTOM PANEL

Knit, with a disappointed expression, is listening to a businessman-looking type wearing a necktie talk. The businessman has a stern expression.

BUSINESSMAN: You've been in jail! I'd never hire you, or rent to you.

An arrow leads from that panel to:

LEFT HAND PANEL

It's dark out; the only light is coming from a door which has been open a crack. Knit stands in front of the door. A sign above the door says "SHELTER." A woman inside is speaking to Knit through the crack.

WOMAN: Sorry, out of beds. Good luck.

An arrow leads from that panel back to the TOP PANEL.

"...because it's often used to justify anti-democratic voting." Even if that's true (I have doubts) it's logically irrelevant to what I asked. "Having two anti-trans parties would be awful for trans people" is true *regardless* of if some people use that argument to justify anti-Dem voting.

Screenshot of a Bluesky exchange. Barry Deutsch writes:

“Two things that are true:

1. It’s awful for trans people if the Republicans wins the midterms.

2. It’s awful for trans people if Democrats become anti-trans rights, and we have 2 anti-trans parties, like the UK.

Why do so many people arguing 1) seemingly have such a hard time understanding 2)?”

Timotheoswa replies:

“Because it’s not an apple to oranges comparison and is often used to then justify anti democrat voting because, ‘they COULD become’ just as bad. But that’s what the primary season is for.”

This is honestly how you have to start answering all baited questions at this point. None of it is in good faith. The media doesn't care about fixing anything (they're complicit) so don't get them the sound bite and keep telling the truth. Doesn't matter if it's trans rights or climate change

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.
