"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process." My latest:

FEMA response to deadly Texas floods delayed & deficient with Noem in charge

Staffers sound the alarm.

I think Zohran is an early sign a big part of the reaction to Trump 1 was “we need to go back to normal, we gotta nominate the most conventional people imaginable” which is how we got Biden that comprehensively failed, and a lot more people are open to real alternatives this time around

BREAKING: as Thomas Gürber, Swiss Deputy State Secretary of Foreign Affairs, spoke, two actionists — one of whom is my colleague @crimew.gay — walked on stage with a sign that said "no tech for genocide." they chanted: "no tech for genocide / you are all complicit" and "free, free Palestine."

No tech for genocide protestors took the stage at the #AIForGood conference. “No Tech For Genocide: you are all complicit. Free, free, Palestine.” “The first AI powered genocide.” I don’t really think that the hosts of the event were prepared for this, (which does surprise me).

a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes' 1/

This country now has concentration camps. Much like the regime has done and beta tested in places like Florida, they just don't use the verbiage 'concentration camp'. Then, they gaslight the shit out of anyone who calls it like it is, deny it, overtalk any media q's and move on. Know that.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.

Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10

She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵

They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape.

This is why we call them concentration camps.

There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.

People need to realize trans misogyny isn’t just blatant bigotry like “trans women aren’t women.” It’s also the refusal to extend empathy toward or desire to understand trans women’s perspectives which builds & curdles into hostility. And I’m seeing that kind more and more in leftist spaces.

talking a lot about race-science shit, like IQ or “human biodiversity” or how bad affirmative action is, *should* be totally discrediting, a sign of lazy and shallow thinking that undermines anything else someone says but there’s so much internalized racism among American elites that it’s not

Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact I’ve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd

Just take it slow! If you are just getting started transitioning you are gonna be a whirlwind of emotions and maybe also hormones and it's very easy to get caught up in that and make a mess of things. Be honest, be kind, be yourself and be patient. With yourself as much as anyone.

There was an elite consensus against transphobia so strong Texas’ Republican Speaker of the House Joe Straus refused to pass a transphobic law, the public broadly agreed, and then a few elite liberals took it upon themselves to make transphobia popular and more or less succeeded.

it is wild how many non-trans people seem to be taking an issue with this extremely correct thread: transphobia was an extreme minority position that was isolated to fringe reactionary christian conservatives, but through "liberal" publications laundering bigoted talking points it became accepted

Since inauguration day I've really started noticing how one of the toxic byproducts of fascism is how the "all these people are unworthy of life" idea has become more accepted on the left- the same shit as on the right but merely the targets flipped- and we really have to push back at that.

USAID was unambiguously good *and in the process of getting better* when it was killed off by a greedy, conspiracy-addled billionaire with conservatives' support. USAID was also one of the most cost-effective forms of power America has ever wielded, positively boosting status abroad for pennies.

Getting slightly high at a music festival while lying in a hammock staring at leaves may be one of my peak experiences at this point

A pair of trees with four hammocks between them, all stacked on top of each other, with one smiling person in each hammock.

Same as previous picture, but from an unhinged selfie angle taken from the top hammock
