A thought for trans allies in this time:
You often ask us what you can do to help. Well, here's something you can do. Wear trans badges, buttons, pins, scarves, whatever you've got. Explicitly. I wanna see that blue and pink EVERYWHERE.
Because the more of you cis folk do that, the safer we will be in crowds and such. It will mean that wearing a badge of support for trans people doesn't necessarily out that person as trans.
"But wait," you're thinking maybe, "if I do that, people might think *I* am trans!"
Well, why is that a problem for you? Would you be offended by someone thinking you might be trans? Would you be scared? Welcome to our world.
This is your time, cis people. You were all ready to call yourselves allies when it didn't matter more than changing your PFP background. Now the rubber meets the road. We need you. We need your help to normalise our existence to other cis people. It could save lives.
If someone accuses you of being trans (imagine being *accused* of existing while trans?), don't deny it. Ask why it matters to them. Keep calm.
Under #Trump, #NationalSecurity Guardrails Vanish
US’ adversaries have more room to operate, at least in the #disinformation space, #cybersecurity experts say.
This month, a network of pro-#Russia websites began a campaign aimed at undermining confidence in #US #defense industry….
The F-35 fighter jet was one target. The effort, coordinated by Russian group #PortalKombat, spread rumors that US #allies purchasing the warplanes would not have complete control over them…

Now, 80 years to the date, the SC Cambuur football club is celebrating the town’s liberation with the unveiling of a special jersey inspired by the Dragoons’ classic uniform.
The uniform features the Canadian Maple Leaf pattern design and the Dragoon’s badge — a springbok antelope running through a grassy plain, symbolizing the regiment’s involvement in the South African War.

…Now, #Trump’s 2nd admin is pushing US #ForeignPolicy ofcls to find ways to partner w/ #Putin’s #Russia, signaling that he is willing to part ways w/ #allies, including by staking claims to #Greenland & #Canada, pressing #Ukraine to seek peace, & shifting US resources from #Europe to focus on #China.
#EdMartin’s views in some ways track those of VP #JDVance & #DNI #TulsiGabbard, who have criticized the exercise of US military power overseas.

#Trump’s admin told #allies it couldn’t sign the statement denouncing the attack as it is “working to preserve the space to negotiate peace”….
#Canada, which holds the #G7 presidency this year, told allies that without #US endorsement it would be impossible to go ahead with the statement….
…The G-7’s statement planned to say that the attack on Sumy was proof that #Russia was determined to continue the #war, acc/to drafts seen by Bloomberg News.

#Trump envoy's embrace of #Russia’s demands worries #Republicans, US #allies
<48 hrs after dining w/a negotiator sent by #Putin in Washington last week, #SteveWitkoff, the US special envoy leading talks w/Moscow, sat down w/ #Trump & delivered a clear message.
The fastest way to broker a ceasefire in #Ukraine, said Witkoff, was to support a strategy that would give Russia ownership of four eastern Ukrainian regions it attempted to annex illegally in 2022.

Went out to the Hands Off protest today in Santa Cruz. I heard rumors that it's the largest protest in Santa Cruz ever. They announced there were 8,000 people there.
There was lots of good signage. I got interviewed by the local paper.
The sign in the picture is hard to read at this angle but it says, "Dear Canada, We Hate Him Too!"

“#Tariffs are a terrible mistake,” Paul said ahead of the vote. “They don’t work. They will lead to higher #prices.” He added that he believed they were a #tax & “have historically been bad for our #economy.” Paul also argued that the #EmergencyPowers #Trump used to justify the tariffs was an inappropriate circumventing of powers granted to #Congress, not the president.
