Just had a debate with my aunt which highlighted for me the importance of this message:
If you’re aren’t concerned about them coming for immigrants, and trans people, and gay people, and born citizens of minority descent, don’t be surprised when they come for you and you stand alone.

You better be careful, the #LGBTQIA+ community is watching closely. If you don’t defend the rights of all of us, including trans people, you don’t defend any of our rights—and you, as an org, will lose our support as well. Change your name, or get back in the game. This is bullshit.

I still think Harris would’ve been better overall, but let’s be very clear here:
The genocide of the Palestinian people of Gaza began under a Dem president, with our military and financial support, and the redevelopment of Gaza by American investors has been planned for a long time.

American investors and others from around the world have had their targets set on the redevelopment of Gaza since the start of the genocide. This isn’t new, and frankly, while I voted for Harris, it was a plan initiated under Biden. The Dems are just as responsible.

We have fewer than 700k homeless people, and over 7 MILLION second homes. Institutional investors also own almost enough housing to provide shelter to the entire homeless pop.
Greed is our issue. People don’t need to own multiple properties, nor should companies be able to buy so many.

An incredibly important, and never more prescient, message from the man of the day:
"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
We owe it to him to find our strength today.
