@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

i never would’ve transitioned if i hadn’t gotten to know a bunch of trans guys over the years. i wouldn’t have known what was possible. those men saved my life. they are my brothers. if u fuck with trans men u fuck with me

organizers in every city should be demanding an EMERGENCY CITYWIDE ICE ACTIVITY MORATORIUM

oh fuck turns out I'm starting HRT tomorrow 😬 new doctor put up way fewer hurdles than I expected and just sent off the prescriptions after talking to me for like 20 minutes

This is such a great thing to tell liberals who really disagree with extrajudicial kidnappings by ICE, but "don't agree with the rioters either." A lot of them are obsessed with being pragmatic so if you give them a material good coming from the protests it can change their calculus.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

gonna be honest pride for me is mostly about existing more fully than ever in the parallel world of gay sociality that has dispensed with alienation and embraced community as the highest ideal so whatever corporations are doing doesn’t really matter to me
