now please, and i’m so serious: take that anger and go buy some masks to wear in public indoor spaces so everyone knows how much you don’t fuck with eugenics. if you need low cost or free masks, or just don’t know where to start, check out covidactionmap.org and maskbloc.org for groups near you.

The ban on gender affirming care for trans kids that the Court upheld as constitutional today in Skrmetti is so obviously *un*constitutional that John Roberts basically just writes 20something pages of buffoonery ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/skrme...

this anti-surveillance protesting and direct action guide that I helped to organize and create in 2020 is still as relevant as ever, there's a plethora of tips for reducing risk before, during, and after actions, please use it to try to be safer. full site with resources: maskon.zone

An orange and brown gradient graphic that reads:

"QUESTIONS TO ASK: ANTI-SURVEILLANCE PROTEST TOOLKIT

-Will posting this help more than it will harm other people, particularly Black folks on the frontlines?

-Can I do something more helpful with this information/photo/video than post it on my account?

-Is this photo beneffiting me, my "clout," my career, or the movement & activists at the forefront?

-Am I putting someone at risk?

Don't treat this as a spectacle rather than a real movement and struggle."

Kinda worried about this not gonna lie, since it’s the same tactic used in Masterpiece Cake Shop which then led to the 303 Creative ruling which probably allows the precedent for this suit to be successful.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series. Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in. J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

Seeing a lot of confusion about the budget's provisions on trans care--it would strip Medicaid funds for trans care (which is awful enough) but it would NOT prohibit private insurers from providing coverage for trans care. It actually does something far more narrow and wonkier

It was never about the law

"Indeed, a White House official told The Free Press that the basis for targeting Khalil is being used as a blueprint for investigations of other students. Khalil is a "threat to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States," said the official, noting that this calculation was the driving force behind the arrest. "The allegation here is not that he was breaking the law," said the official."

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

I do want to emphasize for folks just tuning in now that the assault on campus activists began under a liberal government. Zionists, cops, and neo-Nazis worked together in broad daylight to dox, attack, and arrest Palestine activists at several campuses. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

In keeping with American tradition, the cops are also openly embracing nationalist vigilantes. UCLA’s encampment was attacked by a mob of Zionists wielding fireworks, pepper spray, wooden boards, and poles while police watched quietly from the sidelines. Their own raid would wait until the next evening. At the University of Chicago, cops in riot gear stood by as Proud Boys charged the student encampment. Vigilante violence aligns with the interests of the state, the university, and the police in their deep investment in the ongoing genocide in Palestine—in a nation-state’s capacity to quell civilian resistance to the slaughter they sponsor.

Opportunistic politicians called for National Guard deployments, a threat echoed by university officials during negotiations. House Speaker Mike Johnson parachuted onto the locked-down campus for a press conference alongside Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes. He was the first horseman of the chud-pocalypse: a horde of Zionists and Christian nationalists massed outside campus the following day, screaming, “Go back to Gaza!”

opposition, we can show there's a cost to snatching away protest leaders in the middle of the night. You don't have to agree with Mahmoud's politics to know in your gut that this isn't ok, and that they would come for you, too, if they get the chance.

The ICE abduction of Mahmoud Khalil is a trial balloon for this authoritarian administration to test how easily they can disappear political dissidents across the board. It's vital that everyone speak out-- especially those with mainstream platforms. By demonstrating widespread civil society
