With another set of news headlines about political elites using “””Roman salutes””” I just want to note that the Nazi salute means “I want to murder your family” and the n-word means “I want to lynch you.” That’s what they mean, they make me righteously angry, and I won’t let anybody minimize them.

Important win for LGBTQ+ people & allies. Never stop fighting for equality, dignity & respect at work. The scattergun approach of harassing LGBTQ+ people & allies in work and public life has its roots in fascism and marginalisation of minorities. www.artsprofessional.co.uk/news/breakin... [1/2]

Yesterday was an interesting 1st day of UNISON’s Women’s Conference. The anti-trans protesters came. And left pretty soon afterwards. Then in conference, women members voted unopposed to support trans inclusion, reinforcing their commitment to embracing trans women. UNISON Women say no to hate! 🏳️‍⚧️

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

I think what's being done to trans people in this country is a FUCKING SCANDAL. It's absolutely an attempt at eradicating trans people from public life and ALL OF US must refuse this. Everyone. Stop being a loser mealy mouth person. This is bullshit. You should say so in all the places you inhabit.

Today’s HMI report is such harrowing reading — and this is just a snapshot of what goes on inside women’s prisons. Prisons inflict violence and trauma on women who have already experienced more than enough violence and trauma in their lives.
