i’ve named my enemies for myself.
it’s very much the U.S. so it’s
fuck the U.S. as a government, institution, and as a motherfuckin’ empire.
and if you wanna ride for the U.S., then fuck you too.

Last night, the rainbow crosswalks were removed from an intersection in the historically LGBTQ neighborhood of Montrose in Houston, Texas.

Protesters were arrested.

It’s the neighborhood in which I grew up and where I live.

This too is a form of violence.

To different audiences, Audre Lorde would note that she was doing her work and then ask, "Are you doing yours?" I love it. We've all got work to do. No exporting or taking on all the responsibility.

We've been trying to get a president to do right by us and it's clear that it doesn't matter who is in that position, some things will always remain. Exploitation. Capitalism. Slavery in some form.

Abolish the presidency!
