Occurs to me that I didn’t post this over the holidays when I should have.

Yup. The amount of blowback and horizontal violence from my fellow white women over this kind of thing is something else.
If your immediate reaction to being asked to think about a nuanced take is to take your ball of yarn and flounce from activist spaces, that’s a problem.

3. It's really unnerving how the first thing White folks think of when it comes to the injustice and trauma of Black, Indigenous, POC, Disabled, Queer, Trans folks is "WE NEED MERCH" and "OOOH FREE ADVERTISING FOR OUR BUSINESSES IF WE SELL SAID MERCH AND DONATION A "PORTION" OF SALES".

The performance activism that's emerging in this moment is annoying. So, I wrote about it.

Birds of the resistance? Could we please do more and show less
I don’t like to dampen people’s enthusiasm or commitment to social causes, and I don’t feel comfortable gatekeeping how people should resist, especially against 47’s regime.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

SEN. RICKETTS: It's terrible. Friday is actually Law Enforcement Appreciation Day & we should really celebrate what our law enforcement officers do to keep us safe. It's really discouraging to see these attacks on law enforcement

Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally.
