OTG activist in LA, disabled non-binary mom. Antifascist always. I defend my community from ICE. Use alt text or I will steal your picture and not give you credit. I’m labeled because of the “mom” word. Sorry.
Pinned
I updated my bio. Hopefully people check.
Hey folks. I am being unfairly labeled as “Transphobia (General)” because I am non-binary but use word “mom” in my bio. I will not bow to anyone else’s demand that I perform my gender to their standards.
I asked to be removed but got no response. I’ll pin this later.

there's that now-famous internet line about how climate change means watching clips of climate disasters on people's phones until you're the one filming it, and it feels like there's some parallel about watching fascist deportation goon squad videos until it's filmed on the streets you recognize

Excellent thread on organizing.
I think certain organizing trainings did some of us real psychological damage in teaching us that YOU, ORGANIZER, PERSONALLY have responsibility for going out and making people leverage organized power and ultimately saving the world.

The realization that you cannot save everyone is the hardest heartbreak an activist or organizer has to deal with.
I still struggle with it sometimes. It brought me to my knees sobbing into a friend's shoulder during a recent failed sweep defense. If only I had been in there, maybe I could have...

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

SFV was notoriously hard to organize.
Guess what changed that? 🧊

The reality is, there are sometimes areas and communities that simply are not ripe for organizing, or at least organizing around liberatory values.
Sometimes they're just too hate pickled.
Sometimes they just haven't lost enough, yet.
Sometimes they've recently been burned by organizing.

ICE got another union leader.

somehow it's "hoarding" when I keep my old tech as long as possible and resent forced obsolescence
but not "hoarding" when billionaires and tech companies suck up all the money and burn though the planet in search of endless growth

Y’all I’m really enjoying the pie discourse.
We have to do more ridiculous shit like this.
We can’t just torture ourselves and each other all day every day with trauma.
It’s good to sometimes have some silly fun and remember that happiness still exists and we should fight for more of it.

This is one of those things that rarely gets talked about that has had a massive effect.
As fields like journalism, art, and academia were collapsed and living expenses skyrocketed they came to skew increasingly toward people whose families could afford to supplement their income.

If you're ever wondered why journalists seem so out of touch most of the time it's because in order to establish yourself you need to either come from money, marry into money, or be OK with abject poverty and daily financial panic
That third thing is unsustainable long-term

Sweeps shatter communities, disconnects the unhoused from service providers, and often (always) results in the loss of personal property, documents, and medications.

The pic on the left here looks like Portland gas aka Fed gas to me.
Portland gas can burn through even the best filters in 20 minutes, and can be absorbed through the skin. Get away from it as soon as you can. It's more toxic than regular white/clear smoke gas (CN/CS/OC/CR).
