It really is the 1% versus the rest of us. The stakes couldn't be higher. And the enemy could not be more depraved. Still, we'll win.

Make the fuckers bleed for it.
An experienced organizer I really respect once reminded folks "you can't always win, but you can always, always inflict a cost. Those add up."
You cannot match the size and resources of these organizations that are abandoning trans youth and sacrificing trans lives, but you have one advantage they do not: an ability to maintain a relentless focus upon them.
Make it your work, every week, to think about how you can punish them.

The Australian state, whether Labor or Liberal is in power, exists to preserve this country as a fossil fuel exporter, a base for America to project its waning military power in the Pacific and as a tipping ground for US pop culture trash. We need a left populist independence movement.
