It’s World Human Rights Day. Today is a reminder that political talk of “respecting dignity” is just gaslighting when governments deport people who need asylum, enable genocide, censor LGBT folks, trash disabled lives, and police women’s bodies. We must refuse this and cultivate our shared humanity.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance. Trans folk endure political violence that negates their identities, strips away their healthcare and excludes them from public life. They’re trashed as an “ideology.” But they’re people. They deserve to live in a world that unconditionally nurtures their existence.
