Gerrymandering. Voter Suppression Bills. Disgusting slurs meant to intimidate us. They even overturned the Voting Rights Act. Now, this much is clear. ✊🏽They knew our voices & our votes are powerful. ✊🏾They tried to silence us. ✊🏿They failed. True leaders always show up for our community.

“Segal’s critics condemned the piece, published just days after the 7 October attacks in Israel, accusing him of justifying Hamas crimes – an assertion that Segal rejected and the article does not sustain.” Appreciate The Guardian not accepting the critique of Prof Segal at face value.

- Netanyahu's extremism is the biggest threat to U.S. support for Israel. Even those who support Israel can't defend his government's recklessness.

Graham said, “I don’t want to just help build a movement that’s going to be able to hold other people in power accountable. It’s also going to be able to hold me accountable.” Will the movement, as it actually exists today, hold him accountable? open.substack.com/pub/mariefol...
A movement only works if everyone takes responsibility for it. If we understand that one leader cannot save us. If we understand that we are living under something closer to a fascist state than a functioning democracy, then we have to expect more: from candidates, from campaigns, from organizations, and from ourselves.

Graham said, “I don’t trust politicians. That’s why I’m doing this. I don’t want to just help build a movement that’s going to be able to hold other people in power accountable. It’s also going to be able to hold me accountable.” Will the movement, as it actually exists today, hold him accountable?

If not — what are we willing to do about it? Graham is one imperfect person. A real transformative political revolution changes the system. Silencing dissent and targeting survivors who speak out is not revolutionary but patriarchy in action.

Marshalling a mob to harass a Jewish politician you don't like for his housing policy by tying him to the actions of Israel is clearly antisemitism. And the prejudices that allowed people at the Trans Pride March in SF to be stirred up by such a bad faith actor? Obviously antisemtic prejudices!

transmisogyny is just misogyny with extra steps. it was always about controlling how we define women so that they fit a profile consistent with cishetero men's desires and "gender critical" feminists played right into it. now any woman who doesn't look "feminine enough" is in the crosshairs.
