The most surprising realization I had in the last years was how important it is to be public about your refusal to participate in harmful acts therefore giving others "permission" to do so as well. It really matters.

Believing that other people are real is antifascist praxis.

Terror Lists to Shield the Gangster Capitalism of a Lunatic State: From ICE Raids to Palestine
On August 26 the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed three names on the sanctions list built after September 11th: Palestine

Shocking abdication of scholarly ethics by the American Historical Association which hired a Washington DC lobbying firm to ensure anticipatory obedience and quash a popular movement to condemn Israeli scholasticide in Gaza: www.chronicle.com/article/a-sc...
In the past, AHA executives have been quite content to let members pass popular resolutions against such events as the Iraq war, and to make official statements opposing events like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Regarding Palestine, though, they have decided that the AHA cannot take “institutional positions on an active geopolitical conflict,” lest the Trump administration take notice and find some way to revoke its congressional charter. Over the last 20 months or so, they have taken a series of what they have called “unusual steps” to quash every effort by the AHA membership to pass a resolution against the mass atrocities in Gaza, including vetoes of three separate popular resolutions acknowledging those atrocities as a genocide.

How many students were kicked off their campuses for protesting this stuff? It's not just the psychotic openly genocidal propaganda, it's that the people in power in the US made it so that if you criticize this openly, your life could be destroyed.

I find it genuinely shocking that people don't universally recognize the phrase "biological men" both as a dogwhistle and as a way of framing a conversation that assumes a highly specific conclusion. Don't forget: "A is a biological X" implies that A is an X! Not ok!

Norwegian uses "troll" for things that aren't actual trolls, e.g.: • korstroll/krosstroll 'starfish' (lit. cross troll) • rumpetroll 'tadpole' (lit. butt troll) • skrukketroll 'woodlouse' (lit. crease/crack troll) • trappetroll 'slinky' (lit. stair troll) #linguistics

it's so easy to destroy things, but also building things is not nearly as hard as the status quo makes it out to be .. let us all raise our expectations of those people we allow to have power over us

In my humble brown opinion, the trans rights movement urgently needs to draw from decolonial movements which have successfully toppled entire regimes by creating radical organizations that encourage and publicize targeted boycotts of specific companies that fund and enable genocide.

Alex Byrne thinks that OUP should not have published books on sex and gender that he regards as sub-standard. I'm old enough to remember when saying OUP should not have published books on sex and gender that one considers sub-standard was an affront to freedom of speech. I wonder who argued that?

What community means, if we gone get this revolution popping like you say y'all say you want while you keep playing, is that the strong protect the weak. If you have force or strength or power, you use it to care for & defend those who have less of it. We all matter & we're all coming along.
