Minneapolis for the win.
I don’t want this to get lost in the conversation - the light blue Puerto Rican flag is our original flag. It was designed to match the light blue in Cuba’s flag. This is the flag that was banned.
Yes, it has been adopted as a symbol of independence, but that’s not its only history.

Peep the LIGHT BLUE Puerto Rican flag in the window
The flag with the light blue triangle represents the Puerto Rican independence movement
For many years it was illegal to display on the island
(Lots more light blue flags forthcoming in this performance)

So many errors and misconceptions are running around as facts on this site. I’m begging people to talk to an actual Puerto Rican

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

Those of us in STEM must vocally affirm that the humanities are our allies, and no department is expendable. Arguing we can survive by cutting whole disciplines isn’t just inhumane, it’s nonsensical. The humanities tell us why we’re here in the first place, and what to do about it! This isn’t hard!
Oh good. We've reached the "I don't have to be faster than the bear, I only have to be less woke than you" stage of faculty solidarity. archive.is/wGNDr

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I've been thinking something like this for a few months now. We will fight, we will resist, etc. But we will also not live the lives we picked out and planned on. They're not available anymore.
I’m going to be very honest and clear.
I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.
