The US is showing early warning signs of a genocide against trans and non-binary people, according to experts and scholars.
Concerns highlighted by the Lemkin Institute, a multinational genocide prevention organisation, warn the escalating political attacks against trans, non-binary, and intersex Americans could lead to a “mass atrocity”. #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ #Trans #TransRights

And suddenly…the #IranWar has turned into some kind of #Christian end-days crusade. What could possibly go wrong? Is this any way to conduct rational foreign affairs? We now need to worry about US #Military leadership leading us into some sort of armageddon scenario. #Religion #TrumpRegime #Republicans #ChristianNationalism #Fundamentalism

$38 billion on new #ICE prison camps. Woulda bought a lot of actually useful housing, training centers, libraries or schools…. It’s alway been about funding cruelty.

Reflecting this #BlackHistoryMonth about some of the great Black leaders I’ve had an opportunity and privilege to work with: From the late Rev. Jessie Jackson Jr. to Black Panther Party co-founder Bobby Seale to the late Leo Sullivan, famed pioneering Disney and Pixar animator and founder of Afrokids. Part of working with Leo was getting to meet and chat with his long-time partner Floyd Norman, Disney’s first Black animator, “Disney Legend” and “Disney Ambassador’ who worked on titles like Sleeping Beauty, Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians. #BHN #BlackMastodon

It’s come to this…time to reevaluate ties to family and friends. As painful as it can be, sometimes picking sides is mandatory, not an option. This is such a time. And yes, it will discomfit some, rock the status quo and lead to even more polarization. But WE HAVE NO CHOICE. Either resist or become complicit. The future of our democracy in the US and the integrity of our constitution and democracy are under profound attack by would be authoritarian dictators. Constitutional conservatives, state rights advocates, libertarians and gun rights groups need to join us now - or forever lose the credibility of years of their policies, positions and arguments. For goodness sakes, they’re about to cripple the right to vote and commandeer an election. Not to mention the #DHS private gestapo, #ICE is murdering American citizens on the streets, and imprisoning others in obvious concentration camps. It’s happening under our noses. #USPol

Just a personal note. Into my 4th day of this wretched #Flu - and I got my shots (a poor match with this year’s virus) and masked. It’s racing through the elementary schools in our region, several closed for too few students attending, and I probably got it from one of my grandkids - who live in our family compound. Take it from me, you DO NOT want to catch this nasty bug - it will kick your butt and is very unpleasant. Went through a whole box of tissues in 24 hours and coughing spasms wracked my lungs. Nasty shit, it is. So I’m finally feeling a bit more human, and able to focus on more than managing the BS. That’s why I’m here.

Remembering my hero The Rev. Jessie Jackson, Jr. RIP. I had the privilege of being co-chair of his OC, Calif. 1984 campaign for president, and the chief strategist of his 1988 run in the OC. We had a pretty good showing in 88 when the ‘Rainbow Coalition’ was really going strong. We marched through barrios and ghettos, then stacked the county Democratic Convention, bussed in supporters, and came in 2nd in a crowded field of 8 in the straw poll. That was the next day’s headline. I took great pleasure in shaking up the staid, old-boy Democratic hierarchy. Jackson was, even then, a staunch supporter of Palestinian rights, which fit so well with his championing of the downtrodden and abused. I represented his campaign in a speech at the local Majlis - which served as OC’s mosque. #JessieJackson #BLM #RainbowCoalition #politics
