Poll after poll comes out that people generally support trans rights, don’t want trans people to be bothered, or don’t really have opinion on trans people & this is without any major politician taking a strong stance on supporting trans rights (in fact quite the opposite to varying degrees)

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.
Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.
How far we have not come in 250 years.

It may not be getting the attention it deserves! Posting links to reported stories is one way to combat that!

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

“If only people had voted for Kamala” is not the lesson here. What this moment shows is the desperate need to insist on different politics. Not a lesser evil but people who will abolish ICE, who won’t fund genocide, who believe in sanctity of human life. Anything short of that assures more death.

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

No, we don't have the resources right now for a general strike. We don't have the rent and food funds or the bail funds or the child and healthcare funds.
But the response to that isn't "welp, we're fucked, so much for a general strike."
It's to start organizing those things in your community.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Also, I’m going to start saying abolish ICE, defund police going forward. Trying in any way shape or form to say the entity that targets lots of non-black people needs to be abolished but defunding the entity that targets lots of black people is ridiculous- that’s white supremacy.
