Under pressure by many activists I personally know, Worcester Massachusetts is now a sanctuary city for the LGBTQ+ community. Push your elected officials to stand up for their own constituents. It works. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

It occurs to me that as an Armenian in diaspora I can say a few things about what to do when a settler colonialist state tries to erase all trace of a hated minority group from historical sites and public life. But the fact that I'm standing here telling you that is proof aplenty: *there is hope*.

Whenever the media or transphobes talk about mental health and suicide rates of trans kids, they are always deliberately concealing the fact that trans healthcare brings trans kids to the same place as cis kids on these things

In case you are wondering what you can do to- speaking out is super important! Staying silent while the most vulnerable kids are being dehumanized is certainly a choice.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

The trans community needs Americans to complicate your understanding of transgender healthcare (or just leave our healthcare alone). There is not a single experience of transition, and no blanket policy can EVER capture all of our lived experience. Below, I discuss as much on CNN this morning.

Which is why “the voters voted for this” is not always the answer. Either we have a set of unshakeable core principles and values that undergird our democracy or we leave even the most basic elements of democracy and dignity up to a plebiscite.

One lesson that this year reinforced is that murder, one on one, is bad, and mass murder by our enemies is bad, but mass murder, as long as it’s carried out by our state or our allies or our prison industrial complex or our corporations, is fine.

The issue with Walmart isn’t DEI, it’s the fact that in nine states alone, Walmart had 14,500 employees on SNAP and 10,350 on Medicaid. Instead of attacking corporations for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, people should be calling out the low wages.
