I gotta say, being like "I support trans rights, BUT" while the government is making it impossible for trans people to *survive* is actively helping the government get what they want. And I don't think I've ever seen a legitimate critique follow, it's just repeating more anti-trans propaganda

During Trump 1 they try to convict AZ activists for "harboring" for leaving water and supplies in the desert for migrants. BP agents destroyed water supplies. They have been killing people for years and they're delighted to escalate their behavior. There is no reforming this. (Not that I'm saying 1/

I have talked to folks plugged in across the housing spectrum and this is necessary. People have lost income sheltering in place, as will working parents if there are more daycare raids and school closures. Targeting immigrant business means owners won't make payroll. Until ICE is out, NO EVICTIONS.

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

In 2025 our city came under federal occupation and thousands of neighbors got involved in ICE Watch, Rapid Response, and Mutual Aid efforts across the city. Resolve to begin this year by getting involved! Read the full newsletter - written by rapid responders across the 612. defend612.com/blog

Seizure medication, wheelchairs, Social Security cards, dentures, urns of ashes, work uniforms — just some of what's been thrown away during cruel, degrading, utterly counterproductive homeless sweeps. A good time to revisit this gutting @propublica.org story:

Incarcerated people have more chronic medical conditions than ever. Yet healthcare behind bars is blocked by expensive copays, limited resources, & understaffing – creating a situation in which each year spent in prison takes *2 years* off an individual’s life expectancy.

Graph showing that multiple chronic medical conditions are increasingly common in state and federal prisons.

Even as he sits in a cell 1400 miles away from his home and his due-any-day-now pregnant wife, Mahmoud Khalil is thinking about the plight of others:

Text from a Guardian article reciting Mahmoud Khalil's remarks:

"In his remarks, Khalil said that in Louisiana, he wakes to “cold mornings” and spends “long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law”.

“Who has the right to have rights?” Khalil asked. “It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here. It isn’t the Senegalese man I met who has been deprived of his liberty for a year, his legal situation in limbo and his family an ocean away. It isn’t the 21-year-old detainee I met, who stepped foot in this country at age nine, only to be deported without so much as a hearing.”

“Justice escapes the contours of this nation’s immigration facilities,” he added.

Khalil drew comparison between his current treatment in the US and the ways in which he said the Israeli government uses detention without trial to lock up Palestinians.

“I was born in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria to a family which has been displaced from their land since the 1948 Nakba,” he added, referring to the expulsion of 700,000 Palestinians in 1948 after the creation of Israel.

“I spent my youth in proximity to yet distant from my homeland. But being Palestinian is an experience that transcends borders. I see in my circumstances similarities to Israel’s use of administrative detention – imprisonment without trial or charge – to strip Palestinians of their rights,” he said.

“I think of Gaza hospital director and pediatrician Dr Hussam Abu Safiya, who was taken captive by the Israeli military on December 27 and remains in an Israeli torture camp today. For Palestinians, imprisonment without due process is commonplace.”

Each biased piece of coverage has chipped away at the legitimacy of gender-affirming care—and built a top-of-mind fear and discomfort surrounding transness in a population that in all likelihood scarcely thought of trans people at all a mere decade ago. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...
