#RWU presents our first #ManCrushMonday, in which we highlight a male feminist ally. Today it's Jean-Luc Picard of #GeeksResist ! 1
Since joining Starfleet in Jan 2017, Captain Picard has been a strong resistor, and a great ally to all in #TheResistance. 2
Once we became #GeeksResist, Picard took on a leadership role and has had a large role in the organization and direction of the group. 3
He also started the #VeteransResist group and coordinated with the Alt Gov accounts for the initial #HarveyRescue effort. 4
He's an integral part of #GeeksResist and a fantastic male feminist ally. Please see his brilliant thread below.

The veteran who started the GoFundMe to build the wall didn't think people needed to know about his fake news sites that were shut down after they named the wrong person as the driver that killed Heather Heyer. 1/5 #ScamAlert #GoFundTheWall

📰goo.gl/q9zo5C
The GoFundMe story doesn't mention that: goo.gl/qWxx42

Brian Kolfage, the organizer, said he didn't want it to be a distraction. 🐂💩 2/5 #WallFunding
Kolfage's sites were shut down after the man they incorrectly named as the driver of the car that killed Heather Heyer sued Kolfage's site Freedom Daily & other right wing sites. 3/5 #FridayThoughts

The Trump admin is using Central & South American #Immigrants as scapegoats to drum up fear & xenophobia in their base, which is primarily white, and terrified at the idea of white people no longer being the majority in the US. 1/7 #BorderWall
Since his campaign kickoff, Trump had demonized Latino immigrants as violent criminals.

This gives bigots and #whitesupremacists (public & closeted) incentive to vote GOP to MAGA, which is code for "make America white again". 2/7
It's legal to present yourself at a border crossing point to apply for #asylum, so Customs & Border Patrol make it difficult to do so.

#AsylumSeekers are forced to wait for weeks in squalid conditions. Desperation builds. 3/7

23 year old Jazmine Headley took a day off work to go to the Human Resources Admin offices in Brooklyn to resolve an issue with her daughter's day care vouchers.

There were no chairs available, so after 4 HOURS, Headley sat on the floor with her kids. 1/6 #NYPD #PoliceViolence
Security guards asked her to stand. There were still no empty chairs & the day care issue hadn't been resolved.

Bradley didn't stand. Security guards took her to the floor & police violently yanked her son away in an unnecessary use of #physicalforce. 2/6
Onlookers took video & yelled for police to stop, saying Bradley hadn't bothered anyone.

One officer pointed a stun gun at the crowd, then at Headley. 3/6 #HumanRightsDay

my is my promised THREAD for my new essay: Putting the “Transgender Activists Versus Feminists” Debate to Rest (btw, it's on Medium, so please give it lots of "claps" so that others see it!) medium.com/@juliaserano/p… #transgender #women #feminism #LGBTQ #gender #activism
...I saw some wild claims about my piece yesterday, so I will attempt to clarify here. my first point: there is a long history of feminist debates and discourses regarding trans ppl. Talia Bettcher discusses this in her critique of that Stock piece: dailynous.com/2018/05/30/tab…
...as someone who has played a small part in that history, and who spends much of my time in feminist settings, I can tell you that the "feminist debate" regarding trans people is largely settled, as most contemporary feminist recognize that...

I ought to be delighted that Jean-Luc Picard is returning.

But there's always the danger that the whole show will be Junior Lieutenant Picard; the one who avoided the Nausicaan. #StarTrek
Star Trek has had an enduring problem: playing it safe, avoiding nasty consequences, cheating death and grief of their consequence.

The whole of Voyager should've been "Year of Hell". Instead, we got a space drama/sitcom, and Moore made BSG.
Of course there've been some good episodes. Some *great* episodes.

But Star Trek peaked with mid-to-late TNG and DS9, and the rest was stale gagh.

Transcription of Patrick Stewart's #StarTrek statement which was released as an image, for people using screen readers:

“I will always be very proud to have been a part of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation', but when we wrapped that final movie in the spring of 2002,
I truly felt my time with Star Trek had run its natural course. It is, therefore, an unexpected but delightful surprise to find myself excited and invigorated to be returning to Jean-Luc Picard and to explore new dimensions within him.
Seeking out new life for him, when I thought that life was over.

During these past years, it has been humbling to hear stories about how The Next Generation brought people comfort, saw them through difficult periods in their lives or how the example of Jean-Luc inspired so many

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
