This world is terrifying for Trans women, Trans men and Non-Binary. (&more)

When everything feels unsafe, everything IS unsafe until it's not.
Same with people.

Labels mean "caution" and frankly, all white women should have one.

We white women in the States are dangerously thoughtless & I was.

Oh look. Someone put me in a transphobic lists.

That's pretty funny considering

Trans women are women.
Trans men are men.
Non-Binary deserve respect.

Guess I'll just pin this then.

I am BEGGING I AM BEGGING all the “experts” in my field to have one conversation

JUST ONE

with a Black female/ queer scholar who doesn’t present at their conferences and study slavery and religion

JUST ONE
Instead of just. Creeping TL and calling it research

Your friendly reminder, especially for Black men:
1) Get you a blood work up before the end of the year.
2) Get tested for STI's/STD's.
3) Talk to your PCP about getting a prescription for PrEP and PEP.
4) Get a physical.
5) Identify what other evals/procedures are appropriate for your age.

The president of the United States has said *multiole times* that he hates Americans who are democrats. That is a FUCKING HUGE SCANDAL. Nobody will treat it as one.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 5h

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

A Judge in Chicago unleashed the Kracken…If ICE agents are caught trying to arrest someone at or around a courthouse, they can be arrested. Cook County's top judge made it illegal for ICE to detain anyone inside or even near a courthouse. That includes the steps, sidewalks, parking lots, & entryways

The time for my fellow whites to "gather in huge numbers to articulate their opposition to an authoritarian government" was November 5th, 2024.

But so many of us are racist that we'd rather have an authoritarian government than a hyper-competent Black woman who WARNED EVERYONE OF THIS VERY OUTCOME.

New York AG James on the indictment against her:

"It's nothing more than retribution. Retribution for basically doing my job. For doing my job following a two-year investigation in a congressional hearing. It wasn't politcal. It was based on the facts and the application of the evidence."

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally.

Print it.

Put it in a frame.

Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Mute me block me call me a cunt. I don't care.

It doesn't matter. Being white in the States means that you grew up being taught the characteristics as if it was true even if you didn't know you were learning it.
You can try and tout "not me" but that just means you're still just like "them"

That Haunted Lotion Lady - Courtney K. @thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social · 4h

You don't wanna talk to racist people that look just like you? Me either!

But it's the only way for us white people in the States to get our shit together and join the global table and NOT try to be "in charge" since we've collectively done a massive amount of harm by ignoring it in ourselves.

That Haunted Lotion Lady - Courtney K. @thatnicelotionlady.bsky.social · 4h

They look just like us.
In the States white people don't have a sense of Collective outside male centered organized religion. And with the obsession with intention and the adherence to the characteristics of white supremacy and the patriarchy, isolates us and makes it easy to NOT be Anti-Racist

State attorneys general should see to the arrest and prosecution of I.C.E. agents who break the law in their jurisdiction. Lock their asses up and charge them with stalking, kidnapping, assault, domestic terrorism and a ton more. Let’s go.

Jay @johnathanperk.bsky.social · 6h

Arrest and prosecute the I.C.E. agents.

Make the federal government defend them. States’ rights and all that.

Just a suggestion that folks refrain from ableism and ageism when discussing Mitch McConnell.

Being old and falling down doesn't make him a trash person, but all the actual trash things he has done and facilitated definitely do.

Extraordinary NEW story: We Found That More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. @nicolefoy.bsky.social w/ photos by @sbmaneyphoto.bsky.social

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...
