Bigotry is not an illness. Illnesses are not moral failings and chronically ill people are not moral failures. Your ableism is showing.

Because it's an ethnic cleansing. That's what they're doing, and that's what they want. We need to be clear about this.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I hope I am wrong but I fear that this level of obscene occupation isn't being adequately covered in the mainstream press, and that it's still being laundered as "immigration enforcement". it would be an abject tragedy if only we online weirdos know the truth.

ICE/CBP is following school busses now.

My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

The Trump administration announced that it will be moving to “phase 2” of the ceasefire plan. And yet, during the past three months that the so-called ceasefire has been in effect, the Israeli military has killed over 400 Palestinians...

Hey everyone,

We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.

Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Seeing disabled people call out ableists using ableist slurs that don’t apply to them (e.g., autistic people without intellectual disability using slurs that used to be diagnostic terms for “low IQ”) physically fucking hurts.

The thing about all these people they hate — the Somalis, the Haitians — are some of the most generous people you’ve ever met. Whose cultures are predicated on hospitality, whose kindness is entirely unmatched.

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.”

This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to.

sometimes someone in my discord is is so self-hating, stating as fact such nasty shit, that they become hostile to any kindness at all. "i'm shit and if you say I'm not you're lying to me" type shit. you have to change your outlook before your helplessness becomes real in a way you don't expect

My friend Alice Wong was a civil rights & disability justice activist, community organizer, & author.

She was unapologetic in her pursuit of building a more just world & shining a light on issues society hesitated to address.

She is deeply missed, but her legacy carries on.

A free Palestine is a disability justice issue.
An estimated 35,000 people in Gaza, including both children and adults, have suffered partial or complete hearing loss as a result of bombings during the two-year conflict, according to a report by Le Monde citing a survey from a local non-profit organization.

Swastika Night is an incredibly disturbing and necessary read, especially now
This novel about year 600 of the Third Reich, written in 1937 (before Austria was annexed! Before Kristallnacht! Before WWII started!)

is a brilliant, terrifying study on masculinity & fascism

& it reminded me of the Trump administration when I read it in December, 2023.

All the more so, now.
