"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

especially listen to the language being used. calling lgbtqia folks mentally ill, etc.
Essentially it’s fruit of the same tree. They’re still using ableism and applying it to trans people. Anyone who defies “normalcy” is considered disabled by their society whether they have a disability or not.
hi Imani! do you have an explanation for why trans people have become *the* scapegoat for this administration rather than e.g. disabled people? (since eugenics/fascism rise during a pandemic, I thought more backlash would be against disabled people/those who the RW think "make the nation weak")

The first thing to unlearn RIGHT NOW is something to which we all have grown completely accustomed: the idea that some spaces or activities are apolitical.
The American dinner table consistently reinforces this idea. Y'all have gotten comfortable passing the salt to, basically, Nazis.

Preemptive strategies such as containment and preparedness were noticeably absent during the COVID-19 pandemic, and are similarly absent with the bird flu currently.

"If there have been several dozen reported cases, and at least one severe case, then what are we waiting for to roll out vaccines? Shouldn’t high risk individuals like farm workers be offered a bird flu vaccine in order to mitigate the spread of the disease?"
