When you place a higher priority on convincing yourself and others that you're a victim in every situation than you do on thinking critically and moving forward effectively, you are not helpful to any movement.
Anti-fascism is more than just yelling at people. You have to actually do shit.

The thing about accountability is that it's not about retribution or consequences. It's about analysis and processing.
The most important part of accountability if we can ever turn this around is getting the people who brought us here to think about why they did that.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

100%. There is never an excuse to be drawing swastikas anywhere.
I've seen takes from folks; 'oh, if you're more mad about some property damage than you are about transphobia than you're enabling fascism'
and like, politely, as a trans guy, can those folks unpluck their heads from their asses

Seriously upsetting. If it’s true that the symbol was drawn to make a point about the fascist nature of the church that is a dangerously misguided act. That symbol is hate speech & that’s what it communicates- there’s no ethical way to use it to make political points.

Thinking about the sw*stik* that was spraypainted on a church in the IE. It's an objectively fashy church, & the graffiti was to call them out for being fashy.
Isn't this the definition of performative activism? Helps no one and fuels the victim mentality of the fash, just for social media? 🤔

Disgusting.
Beverly Hills: Many of the same wingnuts who stormed school boards across SoCal to protest the fact LGBTQ kids exist targeted Beverly Hills (where they do not live) to shut down an abortion clinic. And the police and city of Beverly Hills went along with it.
DuPont Clinic, a clinic offering abortions throughout pregnancy, was set to open October 2023 in Beverly Hills. Instead, members of the Beverly Hills City Council, city employees and BHPD officers began a months-long pressure campaign on the clinic and their landlord - (1/8)
