One of the reasons I think “defund the police” is a great slogan is that you get to repeatedly tell people that studies show that police don’t actually solve murders, and in fact one-third of stranger-murders are committed by police.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. In this instance, "ice" translates to "kidnappers" or "body thieves"

They can’t police trans people’s bodies without policing cis people’s bodies, and they can’t police immigrants without policing citizens.

Perhaps Newsom should have spent less time chumming around with authoritarian buffoons on his podcast and more time preparing and strategizing for the entirely predicable thing that is happening in his state right now.

Years as a Goth prepared me for peoples’ shitty takes on trans folk: Cultural criticism of Gothic fashion in the 80s & 90s boiled down to, “Why would they do this to themselves? It’s not attractive to me personally.” So many people apply this metric, never realizing it’s not about them

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

The crackdowns on civilians and the threat of the national guard being sent to LA should be the most important story right now-- not the Trump/Musk feud or whatever the f**k that was. People are being terrorized all over the country. News outlets need to get it together.

Protecting our neighbors is how we build community TRUST. Nobody trusts the state, and with good reason. All we have is one another.

Straight up tail wagging the dog & anyone who calls themself an education technologist should know better. 1st question is always what tech, if any, will support the learning (or operational here) outcome? This is just looking for a way to fire support staff.

Following up: while Jonathan Joss complained about years of homophobic abuse from his neighbors and his husband wrote that the murderer was screaming homophobic epithets, the San Antonio police says there’s “no evidence” of a hate crime. This is why so many queer folks don’t like cops at Pride.

Just to reiterate: This is an outcome of liberal refusal to hold the line for trans people. When asked about her position on trans rights, Harris offered only "We should follow the law."

when we fail to make education a key part of movement work, people don’t know how to investigate their own biases. people fail to understand how baked in anti-semitism is to our daily lives. just like they fail to understand how racism, misogyny, sinophobia, islamophobia, etc are baked in

please read this and reassess the idea that the reason so many people with severe mental illness* are jailed is because they are committing crimes. it's never the whole story. in the US police will often bring people to jail if there are no hospital beds available *among others, of course

Reminder that sexual violence, however it's dressed up, is about domination, taking away one's autonomy and right to their own body. The bit with kids: that's wanting to violently destroy seeing their father as A Man^TM. These men cannot conceive of a masculinity not centered on domination.
