Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

We watched, and watched our televisions; images burning into our brains. Feeling helpless and patriotic, we gave away many rights. We accepted more surveillance, and designated protest zones.

On September 11, 2001, in Indiana, the sky was so blue, and completely empty. There were no trails of white criss-crossing the horizon. Pink Floyd’s “Goodbye Blue Sky” played in my head. In our grief, we built makeshift memorials, a set of pilot’s wings in a box among drawings and flowers.

15/ Authoritarianism wants us to see power as something other people possess. History gives us a different answer. Ordinary skills, connected to other ordinary skills, become extraordinary capacity. Democracy may not need you to become someone else. It may need you to become useful together.

No words to describe how horrifying this is www.springfieldnewssun.com/tncms/asset/...

A 20-year-old Wright State student took his own life on Interstate 70 out of anguish over a required
ICE ankle monitor, according to local community advocates.
Pierre Damas Bel was a new student at Wright State University. He was fitted with an ankle monitor in July.
Pastor Carl Ruby of Central Christian Church wrote on social media that Bel threw himself in front of a semi "after being teased by fellow students at Wright State about his ankle monitor."

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1862: Confederate soldiers massacre pro-Union German-Texan freethinkers camped at the Nueces River as they tried to flee to Mexico. The Nueces Massacre is a story of unwavering commitment to philosophical ideals amid vicious brutality and staggering hypocrisy. /1

Engraving illustrating the Nueces Massacre. Historical accounts of this event often frame it as a “battle” or “skirmish” between Confederate troops and German insurrectionists. They claim that the Germans had warning before the attack and gloss over how the Germans were killed. This stems from the official report of the lieutenant who ordered the massacre. He needed his superiors to believe he had engaged an alert, hostile enemy force rather than admitting his men opened fire into a sleeping camp. According to some accounts, the Germans were able to repulse the initial attack, which might rightfully be called a “battle,” but they were quickly overwhelmed. Some were shot in the back as they tried to flee. Several of the wounded were summarily executed. However, the incident was buried under the legal ambiguity of the “fog of war,” and none of the perpetrators were tried for war crimes.

I was lucky to meet a very newly-emerged cicada today: #insects #nature #bugs #Cicada

Surrounded by green grass, a newly emerged cicada is next to its exoskeleton and drying.

The cicada’s thorax is shades of soft beiges, its legs have a green tint.

The wings are spectacular with light veins and a sheer light green fading to a light blue.

It is a brief moment in nature.
