I hope the UT students are fighting for their right to learn about gender and race. Their voices carry the most weight.

Yes, and let's also remember #YourSlipIsShowing, the Black women activists who predicted all of this first and received no credit.
"Before Gamergate, before the 2016 election, they launched a campaign against Twitter trolls masquerading as women of color... If only more people had paid attention."

Remember when i said we're living in the scariest parts of a Gibson novel thanks to a bunch of dudes who misunderstand Gibson's novels?
Well now I want to discuss the verified govt accounts spewing rightwing propaganda— possibly via a bot-run troll farm— & why you should block them for your safety.

A lot of y’all are not arguing about whether or not violence, in and of itself, is right or wrong, you’re arguing about when YOU believe the violence is justified. Y’all love violence. You soak in it like bath water. And while water comes in different forms, some you may dislike, it’s still water.

For what it's worth, this is precisely the reason the Klan wore hoods when they terrorized communities and disappeared unfavored minorities.
Historically, it wasn't called doxxing it was just recognizing a fascist community member.

Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

A lot of people don’t really understand what this means but no matter where I live I will always be ride or die for the place and people that made me
I was made by and will always be for East L.A. and over the last few days have watched from afar as barrios like mine have faced an invasion perpetrated by racist militarized thugs, sent by the pinche gringo in the White House.
I am full of grief and also have one message:

"We are willing to sacrifice these people's rights" is not a compelling campaign slogan (and it's already taken by the people we are supposed to oppose).

This is trivial but the way the Trump administration communicates basically everything is incredibly rudimentary. It’s written like none of them have any formal education and they want that for everyone. Sigh
