These are prisons.
The criminalization of homelessness and push towards mandated, coerced medical interventions and civil commitment—a bipartisan project—was always going to lead us here.
This is why when we talk about, strategize and organize around abolition, we must include ALL carceral spaces.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care?
Donald Trump and Republicans may try to ban funding to companies that perform trans health care. Some fear Democrats won't stop them.

If democrats hadn’t been the feckless wimps they are and actually stood up unequivocally for the rights of trans people in this country, Trump wouldn’t see this as a viable pressure point.

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

For anyone still questioning the level of control Israel has and exerts over Gaza (and for anyone thinking fundraisers must be scams because Palestinians in Gaza can't possibly have cell service):
JERUSALEM (AP) — In 'unprecedented operation,' Israeli army takes over mobile phones of Gaza residents to carry Netanyahu UN speech live.

It's been clear from the treatment of Palestinian accounts on here that moderation standards are applied selectively, not uniformly and without bias, and @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app letting this disinformation targeting trans people stay up is the latest example.

Charlie Kirk assassination latest shooting committed by trans people and advocates
The assassination of conservative pundit Charlie Kirk marks the latest example of a growing wave of murders and other shootings committed by transgender people and others advocating for their rights.

This shows how shallow (or warped) the thinking of pundits is. George Floyd was killed by the state. That was the salience to protestors, and the motivation was to change the actions of the state. Kirk was not the victim of systemic state violence, but they somehow imagine he was.
Ok PBS just let David Brooks say that his friends texted him “this is our George Floyd”

I was hoping this would be resolved but it appears that Mona isn’t making anymore posts so I’m going to speak on it. Mona gave her account over to the same person who was running Fidaa’s. I’m assuming she did this for help promoting and to avoid her account getting shut down for being in Gaza.

So Bluesky deleted an account I made (here, in the US) to provide updates on the condition of my friend Sondos Jad Al-Haq and her family of four, who are in Gaza.
Sondos has never used this account. She does not have the password, and has never logged into it.
