For folks curious re the news re gender affirming care for trans youth I wrote a quick summary in the BDNH newsletter
It’s NOT a national ban.
it creates no new civil or criminal penalties, it is a proposal to wield the power of the purse to discriminatorily deny care

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

I have a full day today, but I woke up early to put this edition of my newsletter together because I need you all to have this rundown of what we've been up against this week in Chicago as the federal assault on our city continues. To ignore these developments would be a damning mistake for us all.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.
State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

If you’d like to help more families safely evacuate Gaza City this group has basically spent every penny they’ve made getting trucks to get people out and they have more lined up as soon as they have funds to pay them
I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.
Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods
This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

Fidaa recently lost a *lot* of donations as well as her account here when a person who was supposed to be helping her closed it. She has this new account and a new fundraiser and she really needs help. She is very worried about losing her children and the place she is staying.
Fidaa update:
She was in pieces today about her financial instability.
Absolute pieces.
She just wants to feed her kids & leave Gaza to be safe 💔

Mahmoud is such a wonderful person and has suffered some heartbreaking losses since we started talking last year. Please support his fundraiser if you can.
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mahmoud. Mahmoud is only twenty years old. He was just 2 months in to his first year at university studying mathematics when the war started and it all shut down. He is now trying to support his younger siblings Tariq, Dania, Dunya and Dima.

Every single story you are hearing from the Everglades Concentration Camp has been and is already taking place in hundreds of prisons and jails in the U.S. That's what PIC abolitionists have been trying to get the public to understand for decades.

Surprised that this remarkable investigation into how Netanyahu prolonged the war in Gaza — killing tens of 1000s of civilians — for his own benefit has not gotten more attention. So: gift link.

All of the talk about "peaceful protest" makes me think of all the times I have been part of a protest where the police cracked someone over the head and then charged that person with assault. They will call you violent. You can't control that or other people.
