The Immigrant Law Center provides free legal services to low income immigrants in Minnesota. No small organization with little funding can fight an illegal federal military occupation. Collective support is of vital importance for those people who access these critical services www.ilcm.org

There are so many things I find striking here but I especially think it's important to note the implication that these Two-Spirit women knew each other, or at least knew OF each other. There's another source I remember where it is said Two-Spirit trans women regarded each other as sisters.

In 1889, one of the 5 batée on the Crow Reservation told a white physician the number of Two-Spirit trans women she knew of in nearby communities: "Flatheads, four; Nez Perces, two; Gras Ventres, six; Sioux, five; Shoshonis, one." The physician also mentions other communities with Two-Spirit people.
Been really thinking a lot lately about how in the Great Plains and US Southwest, trans women went from being widely visible in supported roles in their tribal communities as late as the 1850s to being recorded as "the last berdaches" by 1900. In 50 years. That's genocide, gendercide, transfemicide.

Omar El Akkad's One Day, Everyone will have Always Been Against This has won the National Book Award. This is a deserving, necessary win. His words need to be on all of our minds and in all of our hearts.

Lise Vogel’s The Contested Domain (edited by me) is officially released today!!! I hope it will be a resource for people interested in Lise’s rigorous approach to social thought (spanning 5 decades) that creates theoretical openings for an inclusive Marxist Feminism.

we are going to win
Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

In the Harvard Law Review, @kredburn.bsky.social has a new piece explaining what happened in Skrmetti, and what it means for trans rights and sex equality more broadly.
Skrmetti Beyond Scrutiny - Harvard Law Review
In United States v. Skrmetti, the Supreme Court upheld Tennessee Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), a state law that prohibits transgender minors from accessing gender-affirming care.

Hello internet, poet Caitie Moore wrote a crystalline elegy following the pulse nightclub shooting that is scrubbed from the internet because the online publication folded. Looking ahead to the ten year anniversary in June it should be republished where a lot of people can read it forever

Note the class dynamics on display in both this and the Epstein story--these were wealthy men preying on girls made all the more vulnerable by their poverty

Class solidarity often looks like conspiracy
I don't understand why people have to concoct wild conspiracy theories in order to critique the NYT. I say this as someone who writes for them: there is plenty to critique without making up wild scenarios and insisting they're true!

The idea that what people need is more proof rather than an honest reckoning, explanation and campaign around the already out there truths we all have access to is liberal propaganda

The stat that blows my mind is that Israel killed more civilians in the first week after October 7 than Hamas has killed since it was founded 40 years ago
worth noting that, for the number of deaths of children on & since the 7th of october, a ratio of 5:50 is actually disproportionately in favour of israeli kids.
