Just a little Gremlin, working in my garden. Definitely not eating anything after midnight or jumping into the water. Nope. Not me. Did I put my pronouns up here? No? Well, you can stop assuming what they are and just use they/them since you don’t know.

Until this moment, I thought Peace Frogs looked like this⬇️ and I didn’t know that was the name of a Doors song.
Illustration of a cartoonish frog with one of its front feet up in a peace sign. The frog itself is is covered in bubble-lettered words with many bright colors. The words written inside the frog include: faith, spirit, Hope, joy, grace, kindness, oneness, give mercy, peace, love, patience, and a few more that are too small for me to see.

Just found this in the wild:
Trans quilt project
Open call for responses
Open call for trans people of any and all ages, backgrounds, languages, and identities to respond to the prompt, “what does being trans mean to you?”
Each block in this quilt will be hand embroidered, by myself, with the responses submitted. The result will be a large quilt that reflects on and celebrates transness, collectivity, and diversity in this crucial time of targeted attacks and anti-trans rhetoric. Submit your response (qr code listed). Follow me for updates, Instagram@schaffer.art

Who do you pay attention to? Focus on filming the cops. Make sure it’s safe to communicate with the community member. Communicate with the community members and get consent-“I’m a community member, are you ok? Is it ok if I film?”

Filming the police risks
You are putting yourself at higher risk by filming the police if you: are a minor; have been arrested before; have outstanding warrants; are not a US citizen; are part of a group that is more likely to be the target of police violence: people of color, undocumented people, queer and trans people; people who do sex work; people with disabilities.

‘Safety guidelines’
‘This type of community activism comes with Real Risks. Our role is not to decide guilt or innocence-it is to bear witness. 
Filming the police is about accountability-ensuring police respect the rights, dignity, and humanity of the people they encounter. ‘
‘By documenting interactions we create record that can prove abuse, protect community members and remind law enforcement that they are being watched by the people they serve

It’s never about the obvious.
White text on a black background. Text states, “The El Salvador story is less about Abrego Garcia himself, than about the right to due process. The assault on Harvard is less about the school itself (there are and will be others) but attempted federal control of private universities. The assault in law firms is less about each firm’s business with the federal government than about frightening firms from taking on cases the administration opposes. 
Each principal-due process, educational freedom, and right to representation has implications for everyone regardless of party affiliation or leaning.

A few helpful pieces of information for your self-expression:
Text above a block of images showing 9 people’s faces. The faces have geometric patches of body paint seemingly randomly painted on them. The text states: Recently, young adults in Europe are finding ways to beat facial recognition software by covering up or shading specific points on their faces that the software tracks. You’re not allowed to do this, but students are rebelling by claiming that this is how they want to express themselves. I think it’s brilliant because companies spend billions to develop this technology and it’s being defeated by carnival face paint/ and extra strands of hair breaking up the face. It’s like camouflage against a I

Know your rights!
Know your protest rights
1. You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to March in the streets or along sidewalks as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. 
2. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. 
3. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down

In 100 years, West Virginia went from “armed rebellion for our rights” to “make strikes illegal.” The pure indoctrination led by the rich and powerful of this state is absolutely appalling. 

The Battle of Blair Mountain was in 1921. It’s literally only been 100 years since coal miners, armed to the teeth, confronted coal company executives and military  forces over labor rights.

Good idea:
I think having Pete Buttigieg doing a daily Dem press briefing on Capitol Hill is an outstanding idea. Make him the Democratic Press secretary and give him a staff. I promise you the media will cover him—especially the ones Trump kicked out of the White House!
A daily opposition press briefing will have all of the legit media in attendance (what’s left of it) and the world will watch. Failure to do this is surrender. 
And the world will see that as well.

As of now Anne Frank rules apply 
1. Protect targeted people and make sure they don’t disappear. 2. Hide targeted people and make sure they are informed. 
3. Deliver no usable information to any official person. 
4. Offer no help or facilitation to any official person.
5. Surround yourself with trusted people who feel the same.

Hey. Interesting times we live in.
R/passports
Passport Adjudicator here. The gender changes have thrown our offices in chaos. 
Passport question/discussion
I work in a passport office and the gender changes stemming from Tramp’s executive orders have been chaos. The state department is struggling to put together  a coherent policy and things are changing literally by the hour in some cases. 
Basically the situation right now is this:
Renewals asking for a gender change are now suspended. We’re forced into just letting the applications pile up because we’re not sure whether to deny them outright or approve the applications but issue the passports without the requested gender change. 
Applications with an ‘x’gender marker are no longer accepted.
