I don't think there is anything political or radical about being trans. It's just a characteristic that some people have like being an introvert. The political and radical element is supporting and building towards trans liberation in a social context where trans people are oppressed.

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

Along with nurses around the globe, we are grieving the murder of Dr. Mohammed Akram Al-Kafarneh, head of the Palestinian Nursing Association in the Gaza Strip.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Recall that Trump initially supported the Xinjiang concentration camps, he seemed almost envious of their ability to enact comprehensive anti-Muslim policing at scale

For anyone wanting to know more about Xinjiang/the Uyghur region I have made a starter pack of campaigners, academics and journalists who research and write about the region. It's still very incomplete - I'd be grateful for more suggestions!

Abolishing capitalism won't abolish patriarchy. Aspects of patriarchy that involve capitalism would end eg sexist advertising. But so much of patriarchy is self-reprodicing and can co-exist with socialism eg socialization into gender roles, men treating women as objects, sexual harassment etc.
