This Trans Day of Remembrance, mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living means challenging systems of oppression that lead to tragedy in the trans community, an inseparable part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Support queer liberation and challenge respectability and assimilation politics.

Hello [Representative]. I am a constituent in [location in New Mexico]. I am calling you today asking why you’re not at the Office of the Treasury demanding entry to know what unelected Elon Musk is doing with critical data about US citizens including their social security numbers. YOU who were fairly elected to office have a responsibility to fight back for us. That means getting up, going to the Office of the Treasury in person and disrupting this top-down coup of our government by any means necessary. Pressure Chuck Schumer into action. Get cameras into the Office of the Treasury and expose what Elon Musk is doing. You cannot do nothing and expect my vote.

This image sums up my feelings going forward.

There are many of us now, but how many willing to resist in 3 months? 6?

How many do you know who are already complying in advance?

In these coming dark times, be the light. Be the resistance. We need you.
Text from the play Rhinoceros by Eugène Ionesco. Text says: University professors, students, intellectuals were turning Nazi, becoming Iron Guards one after another. We were fifteen people who used to get together, to find arguments, to discuss, to try to find arguments opposing theirs. It was not easy ... From time to time, one of the group would come out and say 'I don't agree at all with them, to be sure, but on certain points, I must admit, for example the Jews ...' And that kind of comment was a symptom. Three weeks later, that person would become a Nazi. He was caught in a mechanism, he accepted everything, he became a Rhinoceros. Towards the end, it was only three or four of us who resisted.

Establishment Dems are attacking progressive Dems and leftists across the country over the election.
...
You can lick your wounds and listen to us or you can assimilate to the right.

We will do the work with or without you.

Many of us already do.
