Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Nasra and her children are still in need of support. She has (understandably) grown frustrated with the way bluesky has treated her, as she tries to survive genocide, and so has not come back here.

Please see her donation link below and send her some support if you can 🙏❤️

🇵🇸🚨
If you have a few dollars to spare, Nasra is in desperate need. Her GFM is below, and I recommend reading a little about her story.

She is a single mother of 2 children. Bluesky mod deleted her account, but without donations, THEY DO NOT EAT.

🙏

I’m in touch with Sondos’ husband, Mohammed, off app. Mohammed has been dealing with recovery from major heart surgery for quite a long time.

It costs about $50 a week for his medication, and that is on top of food and necessities for his wife and children.

Please help if you can 🙏

Kyrie Irving has at this point indicated (obliquely) his support for Palestine on multiple occasions. It is time for him and other NBA players, among the most powerful and also principled athletes in the world, to speak clearly and explicitly.

There are "GenZ" protests in Kenya, Bangladesh, Nepal and now Morocco.

These deliberately leaderless youth movements share the same message: Stop stealing our future! Start respecting our human rights!

Authoritarianism is on the rise, but it seems, so are the youth!

People are willing to see an entire apartment raided and hold their tongues so as to not be “soft on crime and immigration”

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.
