Congress or the Deems won't save us. Lawyers & judges won't save us. We have only We Ourselves. Ashley Morris adopted Sinn Fein (We Ourselves) as a response to The Federal Flood in New Orleans. It's time to resurrect that cry of self-reliant solidarity.

Jesus Christ. JESUS Christ. Jesus CHRIST. Yes, this person is correct, remigration is a white supremacy term for ethnic cleansing, basically. And the Department of Homeland Security, WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST, just used the term. An official government account. That is...that is beyond fucked.
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

On a personal note: Sen. Winter was an incredibly kind person. She always wanted to help. She often brightened my day at the Capitol.
She didn't shy away from tough questions and she was fierce in her beliefs. She was brave in coming forward in 2018 to report sexual harassment.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite pieces I've ever written, so go check it out if you missed it.
Featured story: On a stone slab by the cold waters of Austin’s Barton Springs, transgender Texans celebrate existence. Against the best efforts of the state, they’re still here, laughing and swimming in the heat of a late-August afternoon.
At Barton Springs, Trans Existence Becomes Resistance
Following a transphobic incident earlier this year, community members gathered to "protect trans joy."
