I'll take storyteller, please. 📖

Resistance takes many forms. Activist, advocate, agitator, organizer, strategist, advisor, caretaker, mediator, educator, saboteur, whistle lower, spy, storyteller, archivist, witness. In order to reach everyone, it's going to take everyone.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.

Beker Rengifo is in the US as part of the CHNV humanitarian parole program—the one Trump tried to axe but was recently kept afloat thanks to a judicial ruling. He has a drivers license. He has legal status. And CBP still handed him to ICE.

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Twitter post/pohoto from JK Rowling who sits on what looks like yacht, taking a puff of what looks like a cigar. She holds a cocktail close to her face and looks smug as fuck. Text on tweet: I love it when a plan comes together. #SupremeCourt #WomensRights.

Text on screen: our.moral.imperative British billionaire JK Rowling has posted several gloating tweets today after the UK
Supreme Court ruled that only 'biological women' legally count as women, excluding trans women from legal protections and safeguards.
Rowling's vicious smear campaign against trans people in Britain has been going on for several years now and has played a major role in cultivating the extremely hostile and toxic environment that exists in the country towards trans people, particularly in the name of liberal 'feminism'.

This is what I'm saying; he's talking about trafficking in humans the way Amazon traffics wares, and the goal is slave trade. This is not a euphemism or an exaggeration. He is describing a "deportation" process for removing people en masse without due process to be shipped to labor prisons.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
