Teen Vogue eliminated all their Black and trans staff today.
It's resegregation in real time.

today’s information came out piecemeal, and people should be able to share their own situations on their own time, but I could share this much ^ as it is pretty cut and dry on the facts.
Teen Vogue also no longer has any trans staffers as of today.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

seeing even more discourse yet again about "defund the police" and people yapping again about how it's a Bad Slogan and i think part of the problem here is people imagine themselves and their votes as The most important thing, the only thing, to think about.
and it's not. this is about power.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

you cant really say much to how obvious the hypocrisy is everywhere without driving yourself mad, so you don't have to talk about it. just remember that you don't ever have to forgive them when the tide turns and they try to ask for it. they'll whine like they always do about unreasonable leftists

Everyone who thinks "if I was in power I could do it differently" on some level rejects the fundamental anarchist insight that there is no way to come to power in this system without being or becoming the kind of person who reproduces it

My advice for today:
You do not need to give even a single second of your heart or mind or tongue to any aspect of the lives of evil men.
It is sufficient repudiation of their evil to live well and free in spite of it.

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.
