A for effort.

As a mama to a non-binary child, this has been weighing on me. Not just the normal weight of making sure my child is supported but that I could be criminalized for supporting my child. It should not be this hard. Let trans kids be themselves.

Pssst. Austin.

Demonstrators protesting evictions have blocked off both enteranxes to first city court, which handles evictions on the east bank for rents less than $3000 (most New Orleans evictions)

the US is facing a homelessness crisis in the middle of a pandemic and the richest man in the world just made enough money to house every homeless person in the US in 24 hours

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos just added $13 billion to his net worth, setting the record for the most billions made in a single day.



Beyond disappointing. This is chump change. @GregCasar Surely we can do better.

NEW: Austin's proposed budget would cut $8.1 million from the police department, whose budget was $434 last year. This number's diff than the city's message of a $11.3 million cut to APD's budget. That's bc more than $3 million of that would be "reallocated" within the dept.

Asians are repeatedly fetishized and sexually assaulted & exploited in gaming. This is my story about @TylerRosen, his complicity with @AdamRosen in making @TeamTespa a predatory space, and what it takes to reckon with & end this pattern. medium.com/@jaelin.type/t…

We’re out here projecting APD’s brutality onto their headquarters. We demand Chief Manley’s resignation and defunding of APD


Loved this thread. Listen to and entertain the ideas and perspectives that scare you and don't need you for validation. This is how I arrived at abolition. We all have our unlearning to do. We will need many, many teachers.

Recently, the Department of Homeland Security proposed a dangerous and discriminatory change to the public charge test, that would have made it nearly impossible for low-income undocumented families to attain permanent residency status if they use necessary government benefits.

My brain is buzzing, my heart is full and my #NSAC2019 inspired to-do list for @TAASA and Texas is long. So much gratitude for seeing old friends, meeting new ones and plotting to make this world less oppressive, more healed, and more joyful (starting with pamilya lunch).


Best compliment ever. Let's be best friends!
