I know exactly how deeply harmful bigoted beliefs can be not because I read about them, but because I’ve lived them.When your very existence becomes a topic for debate,and the pain you go through every day is reduced to just an “opinion” by some,you realize just how true and heartbreaking your words

Where we are is the inevitable result of giving undue deference to "sincerely held beliefs." It actually does not matter if your beliefs are sincerely held or not. If your sincerely held belief is that certain human beings are less than others, you suck, no matter how sincerely you believe it.

"How do people know we're doing civil disobedience if we don't post about it?" The key thing about civil disobedience is that it's far more important that the disobedience get reported than the identity of the people involved. The point is the message, not the messengers.

The government disposed of all the gynae doctors in Whakatane. It pays travel costs for people who want to give birth, but those who don’t want to give birth have to find their own way to get where they can get the health care they need. #nzpol #abortion 1/3

there are some people who post because it's their job, some people who post like it's their job, and some people who post in spite of their job. you really want to avoid that second one

Seriously friends, 99% of my cases are things nobody ever hears about. 99% of my activism isn't shit I post about. Assuming people only do what you see on social media isn't just inaccurate, it's actively harmful.

1/8 Fact-checking is more important now than ever. There’s an unlimited supply of information flying around the internet, on the news and on social media, but it's important to remember that it’s not all reliable, legitimate or factually correct.
