For nearly two months, Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood had access to water at any time — a welcome sense of stability in the depths of a genocidal war. On Aug. 24, that stability was disrupted by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed the newly built water desalination plant.

I forgot to mention that TJ is also very much a movement led by women and queer and trans people. It's a movement by and for multiply marginalized people who have experienced many kinds of violence, including sexual violence, and want to build a world free from it.

So if you see predominantly white groups or institutions, without an abolitionist and survivor-centric lens, using "transformative justice" to mean "letting rapists and abusers off the hook" - they're appropriating and misusing a phrase that was never theirs to use.

New! NEVER AGAIN, FOR ANYONE by author Stacy Friedman and illustrator Elly Stern is a gentle and loving children’s picture book about a Jewish boy’s compassion for others, including Palestinians. arsenalpulp.com/Books/N/Neve...
The cover of the book “Never Again, for Anyone” by author Stacy Friedman and illustrator Elly Stern. Stacked text above reads, “Happy book birthday,” along with the book's title and the names of both the author and the illustrator. Below, footer text lists the publisher, Arsenal Pulp Press, and their website, arsenal pulp [dot] com. The painted abstract background is teal, and this background continues over the next two slides in the post; the publisher’s logomark (a circle with an off-centre jagged cross cut through) is in the top-right.

On the book cover, two adults and two children stand holding a brown banner together. A Jewish mother and her young son support the banner on the left. A Palestinian mother and her young daughter support the banner on the right. All four are smiling and looking at the title written on the banner: “Never Again, for Anyone.” Below the title reads, “Written by Stacy Friedman, Illustrated by Elly Stern.” The cover is illustrated in a semi-realistic style with lots of warm, colourful patterns.Three illustrated spreads from “Never Again, for Anyone” are displayed stacked vertically in a column, with all formatted as book page mockups. The spreads are of three different scenes from the story, each featuring Lev, a young Jewish boy, and Ima, his mom. The first shows Ima picking up Lev from school; in the background, Lev’s friend Ameera and her mother are seen embracing each other. The second shows Ima calling Lev back as he runs up to a group of people marching for Palestine, mistaking the group for a festival. The third shows Lev and Ima later joining the march for Palestinian justice, with Ameera and her mom in the crowd chanting, “Free Free Palestine!”; Lev holds a handmade sign that reads, “Never Again, for Anyone.”Photographs of “Never Again, for Anyone” author Stacy Friedman and illustrator Elly Stern are paired alongside their illustrated portraits from the book. Small caption text notes their names and roles, with Elly’s photo caption also noting the photographer as Maymoona Gaid. In the bottom-left corner is a small illustration taken from the book of purple snapdragons and a Palestinian flag in a vase, a lit yahrzeit candle, and a photograph of Lev’s Bubbie.

Whiteness trains you to always discount white supremacy as a real thing that affects how people act, and to instead question it being pointed out by non-white people or to imply it's really about a different thing, such as "public safety".

When a woman says “men are trash,” It’s really easy to console yourself with “she’s not talking about me”. But IMO it’s more helpful to realize that it COULD be you. We are all capable of being trash and it’s important to realize that society encourages us to do bad things for power.
