If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact.
We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.

In memory of all of the transgender people who have been lost to violence.
Imperialist powers redraw borders like they are moving furniture. Countries get invaded, people are killed and they call "peace". There is no justice. The powerful decides the destiny of people who are treated as collateral. A sad affair of inhumanity.

This mirrors the global condition of culture under neoliberalism. Commercialisation and the fast-consumption “Insta-pic” generation have hollowed art into performance for visibility.

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
