Clarification for anyone who needs it:
Transfeminism isn't just general positive affect towards trans women as a category of human being, nor is it anything that a trans woman happens to say she supports.

If abolition is just a position you hold rather than a practice, ofc your concern will remain theories of change and optics, rather than the hyperlocal and often hidden ways in which it is already used to minimise violence against our communities.

Last night cops in Bristol raided a squat party. Despite all attempts to negotiate with them around 100 cops in full riot gear, with a drone making announcements overhead, smashed through doors and windows, parva-spraying people at random, destroying furniture, and traumatising the residents.

When commentators talk about “the left” failing to make convincing arguments about police abolition, it’s important to remember that abolitionist politics emerge directly out of the experiences of those brutalised by the state, which are theorised and adopted by “the left”, not the other way round.

PM Mia Mottley’s ‘dreaded death sentence’ is already here and now for people in the global majority.
The Philippines have now been hit by four typhoons in the span of just 10 days.
Can't say I recall ever seeing this before.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Policing is violence on an unfathomable scale in the US: “Police in the US use force on at least 300,000 people each year, injuring an estimated 100,000 of them”
Meanwhile, police departments continue to kill on average around 1,200 per year, or over 3 people per day, with many agencies reporting an increase in use of force since the George Floyd uprising. www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...

Oddly, you never hear Fox News viewers criticized or even questioned for inhabiting a hermetically sealed bubble. It’s almost as if this entire canard is about the right’s ability to infect, infest, and dominate us.
