Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

If you’re not trans and you think trans people protest too much…

I’m the mother of Alice a trans woman who died by suicide…

this stuff matters…mainstream media isn’t reporting it because they’re complicit in it…

Here’s why trans people and allies alike protest…
I've written a blog aimed at cis ppl, on the recent revelations of rising trans suicide rates since NHS England removed gender affirming care for u18s, in particular about my involvement with trying to seek the truth and the trauma the gaslighting by Appleby, Streeting, Cass and the media causes.
Trans youth suicide - the truth we've always known. What it means to me and what I've been doing about it.
Last week Queer AF broke a story that revealed the suicide rate in trans under eighteens is around fourteen times higher than you might expect from census data.As the parent of Alice a trans woman who...

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

and which of course we all know is false, as the loved ones of Breonna Taylor will remind you
seeing conservatives admit alex pretti was disarmed and need to change their message to “well you know where you won’t get shot? at home” is just an impressive level of pathetic allegiance to their dictator

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social.

That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.

I am currently sitting in a meeting while we plan how to handle this. We will be pulling teachers from regular classes in order to teach our hybrid students. Classes are being rearranged, learning disrupted. The federal government is at war with us and we are feeing it at every level of society.
Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

Something died in 2016 and 2024 - and that something was the viability of billionaire-serving "centrist" Democrats. Democracy depends on defending ALL of us. Billionaires serve only themselves and politicians who serve billionaires are done forever.

Everything happening now is happening in the context of a continually degrading physical world, & the forces driving current social crises are hand in glove with the forces driving the collapse of earth systems. This means that the fight against those forces is the same struggle on different fronts.
Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.
