/4 Trump and ICE and the rest of the fascist scum can murder and lie and oppress, but they can’t kill that decency that some real Americans have. They don’t have it, they are inadequate without it, and it infuriates them. But they can’t kill it.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Renee Good, who was murdered in cold blood today by ICE, was a queer woman. June "T-Rex" Knightly, who was murdered in Portland, was a queer woman. The ICE detainees who were sexually assaulted in Louisiana are queer women and trans men.

And we are doing this ALL OVER MINNEAPOLIS, as well as in St. Paul, suburbs, and (as per the MONARCHA observer training I was at Monday night) into Western Wisconsin. We keep each other safe, we stand up to bullies, and when we can't stop the harm - we observe and care for our people who are harmed.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life
