Remember that it's STILL not cool to make fun of ANYONE'S weight, in any context, and that's STILL not how we get to ANY justice or liberation, EVER
EVEN if you think you're being sly and funny about how the president is like the mob boss from that movie or whatever.
Words and deeds only.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

White women, please be on the lookout for this ish, know that we're obligated to be the frontline of shutting it down.
Much history of the abuse of Global Majority women comes from defining WW as fragile/delicate/must be protected/ "feminine" & the *baseline* of womanhood & it's harmful bullshit.

Non-white women are going to be accused of being masculine or gaining an edge, when they defeat white women who fit the western ideals of femininity.
All that white women will need to do is accuse their non-white opponent of not being a woman. And men will come to destroy her to feel “protective”.

Yeah this wasn't on my radar until last summer's Paris Olympics and the meltdown on social media over the Algerian boxer. It made the connection for me how the trans women in sports freak out circles around to controlling all women. Absolutely morbid. And eye opening.

Use PLAUSIBLE FAKE data that will take TIME and EFFORT to run down.

They’re absolutely going for it. Doesn’t mean they’re going to be successful, and in fact I think it’s like shooting the moon, but everyone needs to understand what they are attempting.
Purging dissent in the security services and giving loyalists power is something we *instantly* recognize in other contexts.
EXCLUSIVE: Candidates for national security roles in the new administration have been posed loyalty questions, such as: Was Jan. 6 an inside job, and Was the 2020 presidential election stolen? They were asked to give straight "yes" or "no" answers. Here's our story.

Perfect: Trump is angry that deportation numbers aren't high enough, so he's demanding higher numbers of daily arrests, WaPo reports. But that's going to require rounding up non-criminals.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Two reminders:
1) Trump initiated this ban on August 7, 2020 with an Executive Order
2) Our leaders can’t get anything done to actually protect us, but they were able to ban TikTok

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law.
They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.
