Step 3: Ban the military.”
Still dead-on relevant in 2025.

What if we had an LGBT movement that centered on getting trans people—and everyone else—out of prison, instead of into the military?

A common horizon for situated struggles: “It’s the capacity of struggle in the present, the capacity for collective action that creates dreams and desire — not the reverse. And they create dreams and desires that all the privatized and state-approved pleasures […] can’t satisfy.”
