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.

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

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.

Why do they keep challenging my assumption that i want to live in a democracy ruled by laws, not men or that i want to have the right to exist in public
If you think your job is not to tell the truth but to "challenge your audience's assumptions" if the latter is in tension with the former then you're going to end up lying. bsky.app/profile/larr...
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

The frustrating thing about the NYT is that a lot of the reporting is good. Its the placement, what gets 10 stories vs 1, what gets op-eds accepted and by whom.
Reporters: fine to excellent.
Editors and owners: objectively pro trump / anti democracy for some mix of money and ideology
