The Second American Civil War is here. It is being fought in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, and every other democratic city the Orange Hitler has targeted.

This is part of the Project 2025 playbook. Destroy democracy and replace it with a christian autocratic theocracy.

DO NOT STAY SILENT!!

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

the way the gop and fox news talk about immigrants and trans people is identical to how nazi germany talked about jewish people.

This is completely untenable. We cannot continue this way in our lives and in this nation.

America, it’s late. But our time is not up.

What are we made of?

Try this, fellow Portlanders: everyone protest naked. Imagine how that could throw off the occupying forces.

Crazy idea. Could work.

Oh yes! I recall being berated by a Baptist preacher that we were all Mary-Worshipping Macarel-Snapping Statue Worshippers and hell was our Final Destination™️. Ah the life of a Catholic peasant!

BREAKING

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.

It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.

She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.

Sending thoughts & prayers to the war-ravaged city of Portland, Oregon now under siege from attack by Antifa & other domestic terrorists. Take solace in dear leader's words: "Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen." (and "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL"). Let the healing begin...

So shut it all down. Banning trans care and eliminating trans people is what they want to do anyway. Call the bluff. Stand for trans people and say, "No budget that harms Americans." We stand together or they just pick off one marginalized group after the other. You've read the poem, right, Dems?

jael holzman @jael.bsky.social · 10d

oh look, it’s literally the thing i wrote about for @rollingstone.com happening in real time. as we speak. like exactly what i reported, like a carbon copy.

as a reminder, here’s what i said people within the party and trans care advocates believe will most likely happen next.

Pinknews: In a post on Truth Social earlier this month, the president demanded that Democrats support provisions in an appropriations bill which would ban federal funding for any hospital or medical facility that provided gender-affirming care, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), to a patient of any age.

At a minimum, anxious Democrats and advocates believe that party leaders will capitulate on trans health care coverage in federal funding negotiations on the margins, allowing language that bans government-backed insurance plans from covering these services.
