Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Because 'Antifa' is not an organisation, this means anyone can be designated 'Antifa', just as anything in Hong Kong can be designated a threat to 'national security'. State terror works best when no-one knows where the line is.
BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.”
Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

Sometimes I find myself thinking about the countless women - and countless babies - who have died in childbirth in the modern age when adequate medical care was within reach but not within their budget. It's a crime. It's social murder, and it is still happening. We must build a better world.

It’s really disheartening to see trans users having to step back from Bluesky because of the influx of transphobic harassment. Trans posters built the culture of this platform and it would behoove cis allies to advocate for their safety as Bluesky expands and they get targeted

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
