Transpeople have always been here and will always be here. If u have a problem with that then that's actually your own problem and u need to wonder why u are making other people's biologies your issue. So just work on yourself and get out of the way. Collective liberation for all.

Erica is utterly brilliant and this is a gift worth opening.
I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

This isn’t the first time this racist and genocidal idea gets thrown around. Doesn’t matter if it’s Trump or a pro Israel Democrat saying it. It’s racist and genocidal. And for those still not getting it, Palestinians are our own people. Nothing will ever change that.
On Air Force One from Las Vegas to Miami, President Trump says Palestinians in Gaza should be relocated.
“I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” he tells reporters.”We just clean out that whole thing.”

Friendsgiving is so much less fraught than well…. you know. Strange to have a holiday celebrating one genocide during a genocide. But good to get together with these wonderful people who I campaigned with for Jill stein! Frankly Relieved to have never voted democrat since Obama.
