I think it is better when conferences are led by people who come from the communities the conferences are for, rather than companies who run conferences across many communities.

itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.

Liberals fear that if people act unruly, Trump will be able to impose totalitarian control.
That gets things backwards. Trump is already imposing totalitarian control. That's what is driving people into the streets.
It's too late to avoid this fight.
We can be passive and lose—or give it our all.

Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.
