Trans Day of Remembrance. Pour one out for our trans siblings lost and keep *living* in their honor.

Cannot be stressed enough that Black trans women were immediately sidelined in the early 2020s. Just pushed out of the convo immediately, even though transmisogynoir has always been an emergency and Black trans women are disproportionately targeted

Read this piece I contributed to in 2017. This piece, talking with the friends and families of murdered Black trans women, still haunts me to this day.

Pieces like this are just not printed anymore.

Rest in power
So far in 2017, 21 trans people have been reported as murdered. These are their life stories.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I would have you remember that there are trans people alive who need your action now, not your reflective words later.

Remembering us is not enough.

It's TRANS AWARENESS WEEK and that means it's a great week to ignore the hysterical nonsense of bigots and understand that Trans people are awesome and deserve respect and love.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

1. A new guide has been released by some of the top names in Democratic politics encouraging Dems to act more like Republicans on "identity and cultural issues."

It becomes clear exactly what that means: queer and trans people.

I argue against it in my latest.

What I went through as a closeted trans child and teen is not something anyone should have to go through. To be clear, this law will kill people. It will kill children. And it will torture those trans children it does not kill.

1. This morning, a flurry of movement in federal rulemaking signals Trump's intent to ban transgender youth care nationwide.

If these rules go into effect, the administration may be successful in doing so.

When I was younger I had a much more nuanced take on morality, but the experience of this world has led to some pretty simplistic ideas, such as: Right wing politics are based on oppression, oppression is evil, the right wing is ideologically based in evil, right wing politicians are doing evil.

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book
“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

I just remembered that I narrated Ur Fascism for my Radio Free Burrito podcast, about five years ago.

Seems relevant, and worth resurfacing today.
