mutual aid is about politicized survival. lots of people leave out the POLITICIZED part and that's a problem cuz without that part it's not mutual aid.

Rest in Power Marsha P. Johnson. August 24, 1945 – July 6, 1992.

Happy Birthday to Marsha P. Johnson. May she rest in power.

ready to stop beating my head against the wall that is bar exam prep - it's really such a shame and a loss for justice that this is how almost everywhere in the US admits people to the practice of law.

My guess is that Trump knows very little about P25 *and* it will be the blueprint for his administration. He’s famously bored by policy. He’ll appoint these people because they’re loyal. They’ll then go to work on the plan while he grifts, golfs, and gives two-hour speeches at rallies.

Trump: I don't know anything about Project 2025 Here is a list of all the Trump officials who authored the Project 2025 blueprint, Mandate for Leadership. 25 of 36 were part of the Trump administration. project2025istheocracy.substack.com/p/project-20...

Love that there were fireworks going off at 3 am for no reason almost as much as I love how if you call non-emergency they direct you to a website for the fire marshal (whose offices are closed today bc they're not emergency responders) to follow up on. Really great work.

I really wish I was able to put into more eloquent words my feelings about America’s legacy and this holiday, I chose to share one piece of the history of this nation built on genocide and violence. Here’s one final flag for you courtesy of an edit of imo the most powerful piece at legacy museum

co-sign but i will add: i don't know the best path but i do know the worst path, and that's replacing him with anyone other than kamala, via any process whatsoever.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

As most of the US spent today with hotdogs and fireworks, I couldn’t help but wonder what exactly there was to celebrate about the US as a nation. I was recently humbled to experience EJI’s Legacy Museum in Montgomery, AL and it is with that in mind I write this Fourth of July thread. - S

Alternatively make friends with a criminal defense lawyer who does 1st amendment cases. I miss @gregdoucette.bsky.social so much. But yes before you go to ANY protest, know 1) who will show up with cash to bail you out and 2) who your lawyer is

If you are going to be protesting anywhere near the Republican National Convention, write the NLG number on your stomach in Sharpie (not your arm: cops use that as "evidence of premeditation"). They are fucking superheroes. Give them money to keep being superheroes: www.nlg.org/donate/

If you have access to wealth, might you consider an additional one time donation to support their work? donorbox.org/support-the-... $10,000 a month = $120,000 a year. If we come together, I think we can raise a full year's funding by the end of October.

OK Bluesky comrades, who can afford to donate at least $5 a month to @psabortionfund.bsky.social? They are an all-volunteer led abortion fund based in South Carolina. They do such good work. Will you join me as monthly subscribers? donorbox.org/support-the-... - they need a min of $10,000 a month.

I just finished calling my senators and representative. It took me maybe 15 minutes, including looking up their phone numbers. Take the time to give yours a call. If you hate phone calls, make a script for yourself first and then just read it.

You could also call up your US rep and demand they join AOC in this move for impeachment. Can't pass the R House, but they HAVE to use their bully pulpit and rally the public. www.nydailynews.com/2024/07/01/a...

The Missouri AG's office also butted into the prosecution of Patricia and Mark McCloskey, filling an amicus brief arguing for dismissal the day after charges were filed. An in-group who the law protects but does not bind and an out-group who the law binds but does not protect.

If Biden hadn't chosen this week to throw trans youth under the bus I'd be feeling a ton of sympathy right now for him, like us, being the target of a relentless NYT smear campaign.
