since I've been doing this work for about 8 years now, almost passively at times because I was afraid, its actually really damn hard to take up space as a reconnecting native when nobody talks to you. I've lost count at how many messages and emails have been left on read over the years.

day 1 of calling rep larsen to request an explanation of what he means to help enforce ICE following rules like all the other federal agencies when they've already been breaking them

a thought about this boycott that's happening today because really that's what this is: even if you're participating, are you still going out to watch your neighbors ot does ICE have a free day of less witnesses?

I've been saying for years I want to learn Spanish because its objectively useful to know with where I live and work but I think especially in today's circumstances its more important than ever.

he folded in four hours
what if I spent my morning and afternoon for the next forever leaving voicemails reminding Rick Larsen that he's a fucking disgrace and a coward

I don't know how to hold what I'm thinking and feeling in my body.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

going only a *little* insane that I've gone so hard on the genealogy research that when I reach out now to like, historians and archivists I start to realize that I might know a TINY bit more than what they previously knew about my own family

the videos of the local ICE raids showed me one thing: these officers are using personal vehicles. That means that there are workers in offices somewhere, either in state or federal buildings, who receive those reimbursement sheets for mileage and calculate it.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

These are the people I'm remembering today.
The People I Remember On This Trans Day Of Remembrance
Elisa Shupe, Lia Smith, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and so many more names are worth remembering today.

during the first trump administration, my wife hasld introduced me to the alt right playbook videos because I was determined to still be debating these fucking morons when they weren't going to change. I keep thinking of Controlling The Narrative and Never Be Defense.

And we finally see that turn.

"mark epstein sai--" mark epstein was emailing with his brother while he knew his brother was trafficking and abusing children including joking with him over email about powerful figures. IMO he's an enabler for sex abuse and i'm not immediately willing to trust anything he says about this case.

a lot of folks saying he's fine releasing them now bc its been scrubbed but surely there's multiple copies of the files and too many to reasonably scrub in this quick of a turnaround
You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

the amount of vicious hatred and anger people like this have regularly, like hate and anger are the ONLY things they feel, is so fucking disturbing to me.

having dissociated a lot through ~2010-early 2014 (give or take) means that when I see things I wrote or posted online during that time frame, I'm charmed. Like hello past me, where did you even read about that??

I used to be on the lookout constantly at local Indigenous events for my abuser, because online she got really into boosting local Indigenous issues, MMIW, that kind of thing. Not once have I actually seen her in person at these events, as it seems she's been shifting becoming --
