Trans kids- We see you. We love you. And there’s a whole army of us fighting for you. This morning a lawsuit was filed against SB 184, the first of many legal challenges to prevent these laws from actually taking effect. @MCACBham #ProtectTransKids

Great thread from @jwdwerner on racist hierarchies under global imperialism. It must be added that Eastern Europeans have for hundreds of years *not* belonged to the category of whiteness. They have been subject to different imperialist projects (Turkish, German, ... 1/

The main reason the US foreign policy establishment sees Russian violence as different from similar episodes of US violence is the ideology of US power=democracy. But that ideology is also—usually unconsciously—a racial ideology. Great example here of the id breaking through 1/

Much of the attention in the first days of the war in Ukraine has focused on large cities. But in the countryside, a massive grass-roots movement is underway as ordinary Ukrainians — farmers, shop owners, day laborers, taxi drivers — are taking up arms. nyti.ms/3IvK6Y8

And here let me emphasize the fact… that the working class who fight all the battles, the working class who make the supreme sacrifices, the working class who freely shed their blood and furnish the corpses, have never yet had a voice in either declaring war or making peace.

1/ The South is home to more LGBTQ+ people than anywhere else in the U.S. Meanwhile, Southern legislators are pushing violent policies to hide this truth. Trans kids in particular are being threatened—and not just in Texas. 🧵 A thread on how to show solidarity in this moment:

🚨 AL reps will likely be voting on the anti-protest bill #HB2 tomorrow! Use our toolkit to contact your reps, learn more about the bill, and spread the word - hmtn.link/HB2toolkit #alpolitics #ALAntiProtestBill #SayNoToHB2 #DontSilenceSolidarity
Chris England@RepEngland70

I have been asked about tomorrow’s special order calendar several times. Short answer? We don’t have one yet. Long answer? Tomorrow’s calendar will likely have the permitless concealed carry, the anti-riot, and the transgender bathroom bill all on the same day. #alpolitics

It often seems like when a disaster hits, the process to get federal funding to communities should be pretty straightforward. But it’s much more complicated. Read @amalahmed214’s story to learn why: southerlymag.org/2022/02/18/her…

The enshrinement of white supremacy into Alabama/Southern culture & politics has been intentionally designed by those in power. Understanding & contending for power in the narrative realm is an essential component of winning liberatory change. al.com/news/2022/02/h…

Over 20 Alabama organizations have signed on to oppose HB2, the "anti-protest bill" which is on the calendar in the House this afternoon after they convene at 3:30pm. This letter was sent to all Alabama legislators this morning. #alpolitics hmtn.link/HB2oppletter15…

If any of these guidelines set by the CDC and corporations themselves were about protecting workers or people then they would be providing free weekly testing to ensure safe conditions. This isn't about safety it is about the economy and controlling a false narrative.

So there was a respirator FOR THE PUBLIC for emergencies such as a PANDEMIC by 3M from 2008 How in the hell did CDC recommend cloth masks for this long instead of pushing the federal government to scale up production for every single American immediately 2 years ago?????
