More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

Y'all really can't connect the dots between fascist eliminationist policies and actions and advocating for throwing Trans people under the bus by some Democratic elected officials? What's not clicking?

the connection to capitalism is even simpler: no matter what propaganda is circulating, you and your neighbors - even the ones you think are most different from you - definitely share problems.

Many years ago, Zohran attended a few meetings of Survived and Punished NY. When we launched our #FreeThemAll campaign to free people in women's prisons who were incarcerated for defending themselves against DV/SA, Zohran who was then working on Cynthia Nixon's campaign got us on her radar.

Fair housing protections help ensure everyone has the freedom to live in a safe & stable home, no matter our differences. But tenant screening companies provide discriminatory data to landlords who then deny tenants housing. NHLP's Eric Dunn talked to @shelterforce.bsky.social about this issue.

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him
I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.
