I wouldn't really call the question "will I have basic human rights in this state" a question of "politics".

When racists killed Mickey Schwerner, James Chaney and Andrew Goodman in 1964, they burned their station wagon but left it just off a road where it was easily found. When racists killed Viola Liuzzo, they advertised her shot-up car for sale, promoting it as a possible tourist attraction.

Income isn’t supposed to play a role in how much housing assistance FEMA gives families. But in some North Carolina counties, the highest-income homeowners received two to three times as much money after Hurricane Helene as those with lower incomes. With @theassemblync.bsky.social

Arduous and Unequal: The Fight to Get FEMA Housing Assistance After Helene

An analysis by ProPublica and The Assembly of the more rural counties in North Carolina hardest hit by Helene shows that the households that got the most aid tended to have the highest incomes.

You can spend time arguing over the difference between shutting down FEMA & rebranding it but the reality is that the Trump admin has already dismantled FEMA to the point that it could not efficiently respond to a relatively small disaster in a state with a relatively large capacity EM system.

“Rapid deportations” = kidnapping people off the street and sending them to death camps. Covering this like what’s important is scoring political points is disgusting.

Louder for the people in the back: If only citizens get due process, NOBODY gets due process. Because then all they have to say is that you’re not a citizen, and you have no right to due process to prove them wrong — even if it’s a lie.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor
). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

No Personnel Is Policy

The Trump administration is accomplishing through layoffs what it couldn’t accomplish through Congress.

The fact that tarrifs are on the top of front pages consistently while people getting abducted off the streets for their free speech without due process is relegated far lower should tell us everything about where much of the media establishment sees our priorities as a society.

Sharing artist/activist Micah Bazant's amazing portrait of trans activist Marsha P. Johnson who was one of the leaders of the Stonewall uprising in 1969. "No Pride for Some of Us without Liberation for All of Us. We honor her legacy by supporting Trans Women of Color to LIVE + LEAD."

From Micah Bazant's website:
This piece was created during Pride 2013, when almost no one remembered Marsha P. Johnson, one of the mothers of the trans and queer liberation movement. I created it as a celebration of her life and legacy, and an expression of rage at the white supremacist corporate appropriation of Pride.

This poster was inspired by the research of Tourmaline, who first popularized Marsha’s legacy for new generations. To learn more about Marsha, watch Pay It No Mind - The Life and Times of Marsha P. Johnson. This image is based on a photo by Marsha's friend, Randy Wicker, with permission.

The phrase "No Pride For Some of Us Without Liberation For All of Us" was originally written by me, but has become globally attributed to Marsha. This attribution has made it much more meaningful and powerful for trans and queer communities, and I am happy for her to receive credit for it. I am unendingly grateful for all Marsha gave us, and for the countless other warriors who sacrificed their lives to create space for trans existence.

Evoking a book about how only hiring White men with a specific ideological viewpoint got us into the Vietnam War is certainly a choice here.
