Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

An image labeled "HELP A TRANS WOMAN GET TO SAFETY! again!" showing an arrow going from a burning American flag to a Canadian maple leaf, with the American flag labeled "HahaohmygodwhatisgoingonisanyonegonnnapUTTHATFIREOUTBEFOREWEALLBURNOHGODFUCKNO" and the Canadian maple leaf is labeled "Kind & Reasonable Neighbors?". There's also a drawing of me with a single tear coming from my eye, shrugging and saying "I'm in danger!" with a weak smile.

you cannot dismantle oppression in this country without first dismantling racism in this country. you cannot dismantle racism in this country without first dismantling this country's core white supremacy foundation itself.

Black and Native and YOUR liberation are intertwined.

UPDATE: Barbara Marques, legally married to a U.S. citizen, is scheduled to be deported TOMORROW, even though a court has ruled that her case be reopened. Call Louisiana Reps, esp if you LIVE in Louisiana, to demand that she be afforded due process and kept here while her case is reviewed.

My mental state all year as I hope for cis people to make some noise and draw the line for us trans folks.

The disability community needs support & solidarity to fight these pharmaceutical tariffs.

Most of us can barely afford our medications as is.

We can’t suddenly stop taking them, we will die.

We can’t stockpile them.

A 100% tariff will cost lives.

Back in June I ordered something from Glittertale's latest Fancy Cat Bakery design, and it's arrived! I got a custom waistcoat with the fabric and cotton blouse to go with it. So soft and adorable 😭

I usually wear gothic ouji over sweet but I will wear any substyle for cats.

A photo of a sax blue waistcoat with ruffles, adorned with cats wearing pink berets and bow ties surrounded by bakery items. It lays atop a light blue short sleeved blouse, also with ruffles.

When we show support for autistic folks, please don't be ableist against those with medium-high support needs/learning difficulties!

The attack on autistic folks isn't bad because, 'Autistic people are smart/inventive/talented.' All autistic people are worthy regardless of intellect.

Of course it it. Because slavery is a founding tenet of capitalism. Every place that is touched by capitalism will be rife with anti-Blackness. Capitalism is a psychological cancer.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him.

I'm talking about something very different.

Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired.

Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to.

But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.
I’m autistic because that’s how
my brain works. Stop treating us
like a problem. Start listening to us.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump.

And they’re right.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
