We have seen a lot of 'Know Your Rights' information, which we are so grateful for...and we also know the way the carceral system works there are other things to consider.

So for Oklahoma we've got some rights and realities to think about.

We cannot be fooled into thinking this attack against 2STGNC+ communities throughout the US, this transgenocide, will stop at youth. Nor should we let our youth think they can be offered up as collateral in a Republican & Democrat morality war.

Its Women's History Month & we're celebrating All Women.

Celebrate them, share the mix tape, create spaces of rest for them.

When it comes to the policies that govern us, we should all be concerned when those in charge find it laughable that someone would point out that the organization responsible for their bill language is a designated hate group.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Brooks asks again if it's actually specified that it covers incarcerated people. And some back and forth indicates it's not specific, just the intent of the author. Daniels says she thinks it authorizes people enough to cover duties.

Senator Brooks starts questioning, asking if this applies to incarcerated folks or staff (incarcerated folks) and is it happening currently (not a direct answer, but she says that there are currently trans and intersex inclusive policies this would override).

We're starting with a committee substitute of SB 418, an anti-trans policy regarding prisons by Sen Julie Daniels. Similar to what we've seen at the federal level in Trump executive orders.
