DMs open!

We choose mutual aid as a moral and political act - we are caring for our community and knowing we will be cared for in our turn.

The state is going to abandon us but we do not have to abandon ourselves.
Thanks to everyone who donated this past week. Here is some shots from today's distro! We fed about 250 and also gave away masks, coffee, hygiene supplies and consensual hugs

That is the passenger seat of my car with enough donated bread and pastries to trigger the seat-belt alarm

Know Your Rights!
One parishioner who lacks legal immigration status "learned about his rights for the first time at a freedom school and shared his new knowledge with his landscaping colleagues and neighbors, telling them not to open their doors during a warrantless raid.”
“Participants act out how to respond to encounters with immigrant agents in various situations, including agents coming to homes, stopping someone in their car or approaching a street vendor.” religionnews.com/2025/12/18/l...

"ICE and CBP must be abolished" is the only reasonable position. We can debate the specifics of new agencies for immigration functions, but these agencies are simply too infected with a culture of impunity, racism, and fascism to continue. They're gangs with badges.
Armed ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant and demanded their papers. Federal agents walked into East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN. They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers. Every person present was a US citizen.

I only just realized that Fan Ho lived till 2016.

I have mostly looked at his work from the 1950s. During the 60s, Ho began a filmmaking career. A whole other life.

1. In a Sunday Night surprise, the trans healthcare coverage ban has been removed from the military NDAA.

Congressional leaders released the negotiated bill this evening, and though the House AND Senate contained the provision, it is not in the final bill!

Trans Healthcare Coverage Ban Stripped From Negotiated Military NDAA Bill In Sunday Night Surprise
Anti-DEI and sports ban provisions for the military still exist in the bill, but the removal of a health care provision is a major victory for transgender people in congressional legislation.

The movement didn't magically happen. Connections & ideas had built. The Women's Political Council had been organizing; the night Parks was arrested they decided to call for a 1-day boycott Monday. WPC leader Robinson ran off 35,000 leaflets ; they distributed them through town.

Attacks on trans humanity is CENTRAL to the authoritarian agenda.

For the last 100 years all authoritarians have attacked queer people as a core principal but too many people know gay couples and they need to focus on trans people now
It's really frustrating that a lot of the media just sort of frames the Trump admin as "wading into a hot debate over trans issues that have roiled american politics" when it's like, clear that they are motivated by a desire to demean trans people

One of the lessons from Ruth Ben-Ghiat's Strongman is that all the ones she studied cultivated hatred against queers as fundamentally opposed to the country's values, to being inhuman in fact

With gay people domesticated the last 20 years trans people get all the heat.
It's hard to explain to normies how much effort Trump is putting into anti-trans policies.

This is like the 12th thing just this week. And there were 12 things the week before, and 12 things the week before that. There will be 12 things next week.

This is almost everything the government is doing.

Trumps gutter racism does not appear to be on the front page of the NYT, though his xenophobia is perhaps in a podcast they dropped

They times knows how to make a scandal! It is an editorial choice to normalize this!
What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.
