A disabled woman named Alma Bowman spent 30 months, nearly three years, in ICE custody during the first Trump regime.

The daughter of an American veteran, they revoked her status because she wrote $1200 in bad cheques twenty years ago. Which she paid back.

When she finally got out of the camps, she worked with the US government as a whistleblower to prosecute detention centre employees who were sterilizing immigrants without consent.

Who were performing unnecessary hysterectomies and tubal ligations.

She used her real name. She stood up for injustice. She tried to protect others.

Now ICE has taken her again, and the media have been largely silent.

The MAGA crowds are cheering because they have no compassion.

No one should be treated this way.

I’m going to keep saying her name until she gets the attention she deserves. She needs to be released.

Justice for Alma.

> Expecting bad-faith, mass-produced and then cherry-picked systematic reviews to be debunked after they are published is a losing proposition. The naive response, that the answer to bad speech is good speech, doesn’t fly here because we’re not just answering some instances of bad speech, we’re answering a machine that produces new bad speech on an industrial scale.

I'm glad someone is finally saying this. @researchfairy

So just a heads up for people who aren’t queer, this Pride eve; Pride is around the corner and it’s probably going to feel a little different than usual.

• Expect it to feel angrier. We joke that July is Wrath month, but don’t be surprised if people at Pride events are a bit more on edge, our signs punchier, and our jokes sharper.

• Allies: more than ever before, be aware that you are guests in a queer space. Many of us are going to need the space to feel safe and comfortable for us now, more than ever.

• We have a gay agenda (see the above quote), don’t try to distract from it with platitudes. With trans people under an organized, legislative attack and nearly 60% of Republicans being against same-sex marriage, none of us are safe this year.

• Let’s not do the “Pride events need to be family friendly”. They generally are, but our family is angry.

Trump just got SCOTUS to rule that 500,000 previously documented people are now undocumented.

A reminder that whenever MAGA cultists claimed they only opposed "illegal" immigration and not "legal" immigration, they were lying. They oppose non-white people, because MAGA is a white supremacist cult.
