Too many of us are complicit in the systems that control us.

🍉Abusers/ Oppressors lose power & control when we ignore them and redirect our energies towards community care; inclusive of pw disabilities, BIPOC, LGBTQIA, and other marginalized folks.
The way we win is to stop REacting and start acting, largely avoiding & ignoring them as much as we can. We have to get them on the back foot, responding to our actions rather than the other way around. They simply can't handle the masses making moves, hence the shock & awe to keep us off balance.

The courts that enshrine our servitude cannot be our saviors.

It's up to us, and that's terrifying but it's true.

No wonder that fascism takes hold here so easily when the American nuclear family itself is based on authoritarian control.

But as you condemn this mother (& you should), please consider that your actions around the ongoing pandemic are similar if you don't mask, even if vaxxed. Science is science.

The geniuses at the Democratic Party settling on “maybe we were too woke” rather than “a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis are stealing your money and taking a sledgehammer to your future” is astonishing. Just one of those things

"The message should be clear ... We will not cooperate with the fascist, anti-trans agenda. We will protect trans children. We will not live inside a fascist fantasy or impose it upon others. We will defy, resist and refuse. We will defend each other."
My latest reprinted in @truthout.org. “For those of us who care deeply about trans children and trans communities, it’s important to stay focused on what the moment demands of us.”
We Aren’t Powerless in the Face of Trump’s Outrageous, Anti-Trans Edicts
We can’t prevent all of this administration’s harms, but we can greatly diminish their impacts if we organize.

This comic from our archive helps explain how both penises and vulvas start from the same origins and are actually made of the *same biological material* that just gets arranged differently. Clitorises are kinda tiny penises and penises are kinda giant clitorises!

My point in saying all of this is that in your praxis from now on, in whatever organizing and community work you are doing, you need to give & demand accountability & honesty from the folks you're dealing with or you shouldn't be dealing with them.

And if shit don't line up, call it what it is.

We, too, have been indoctrinated under the society which created these conditions, so we each have to actively, aggressively interrogate defensiveness in ourselves as a thing that hinders your growth immensely - if you can't even consider a thing about yourself, how can you fix it if it's true?

Building mutual aid projects is a way to plug people in, build shared understandings of current conditions, offer meaningful support to vulnerable people, and prepare for the coming disasters.

A beautiful book that got me through 2024, our first year under Milei in Argentina, by focusing on solidarity networks, coalition building, and a culture of care. I come back to these ideas again and again, in my work and friendships.
It will be easy to fall into a pattern of dunking & reacting in these times. Performing disapproval can be a consuming pastime & it is not enough. Refuse to abandon vulnerable people. Build a rebellious culture of care. If you need help, @prisonculture.bsky.social and I wrote a book to assist you.

“The firefighters are heroes!”

Cool, then maybe they shouldn’t be in jail. Like, if you’re a nonviolent offender and well enough to be trusted to fight fires, you shouldn’t be in jail. And you CERTAINLY shouldn’t be making $10 a day doing it.
Inmates are fighting California wildfires in long-running and controversial practice
California has turned to incarcerated firefighters since 1915. To those opposed to the use of inmates as firefighters, the system is seen as exploitative.

A moment that will be captured in the history books.

Saydnaya personifies the terror of the Syrian regime. Known as the "human slaughterhouse," it was site to the secret executions of 13,000 people in a single 5 year period & continued to hold thousands of unjustly detained.

The ruling class is reinforcing why this whole system must be brought down by devaluing these other lives and telling us that the hunt for the killer of one of their own is more important than every other investigation in the country.

"Trans people should not exist" is not an opinion. Since trans people do, in fact, exist, it is by definition a genocidal threat.

"But they're not going to kill anyone, just want people to live as their assigned gender." Ah, so just spiritual death, and if we refuse to comply, incarceration. Great.

They are committed to the destruction of trans lives and trans existence. They will not win that fight, but understand, this is everyone's fight, and it won't be settled in the courts. These eliminationist politics will have to be fought at every level.
Matt Walsh outside the Supreme Court: "This case is just the beginning of the fight. It is not the end. We are not gonna rest ... until trans ideology is entirely erased from the earth. That's what we're fighting for, and we will not stop until we achieve it."
