As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior
Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth!
What began as a simple reading list of forthcoming Black transfemme novels blossomed into a full critique of White supremacist publishing, Black literary erasure, and the supplementarity of the Black transfemme body as text 🖤

A truly striking feature of the modern conservative movement is that they’re all such Assholes. Not a graceful, let alone witty, one among them.
Never before in history has someone so badly needed to be asked the question, "Who the fuck are you at home?"

Today’s convos about internalized misogyny have made me curious: how did people arrive at leftist politics?
I know I can’t be alone in taking a fairly windy road to get here today.
I ask both because I’m curious if others had unlearn, and for all the new folks looking at the left this week 🤔

My anger can fill canyons, but my love could flood the world. My rage burns bright hot enough to cauterize your wounds, but it is nothing compared to the sun that is my love.

My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

Took care of a dog once that would flinch whenever I raised my hand, even to give him treats. His rescuers had briefed me about the situation and asked if I could help them look after him for a bit.
So there I was, doing my best to treat him right. Just had to meet him where he was at.
