SWers are: all races, all abilities (visible and not), all sizes, all genders. When we talk about SWers we need to mean ALL SWers. When we talk about safety we need to be intentional and create it for everyone

Also I’m never gonna stop cussing white people out with Black southern obscenities for online microagressions. That change isn’t coming soon. The white people are usually unaware of the huge offense they’ve caused. And they’ve been able to get away with that in life, so a rude awakening is healthy.

A big problem with whiteness is whites don’t really realize they’re white. Society constructs whiteness as normative so they never consider it & to this day the majority of white people live in segregation from people of color. They don’t think of how being white informs interacting with us totally.

The new COVID variant seems to be evading immunity from vaccines and past infections. COVID cases are up 250% in NYC. Remember the more you get covid your risk for long covid increases significantly.

One of my critiques of the engagement with Project 2025 has been to assert that "this is not what America is about." They ARE what America is about. We must engage with MAGA not to keep the status quo, but to build a better future.

It's always good to pay attention to what the institutional Rightwing is putting pen to paper about because they tend to focus on achieving their ideas methodically over the long haul.

This means the discourse on Project 2025 is having an effect. Every media outlet should hammer this. Biden ads and other Democrat ads should flash highlights from Project 2025 with scary voice-overs.

Pay attention to how reproductive rights have been stripped, and how no-fault divorce is the next target. Criminalizing sleeping in your car, in a tent, or the street *will* cause people to stay in abusive relationships and risk their lives. ALL of this is interlinked.

More convinced than ever that the people, en masse, do not want any of this shit and it's largely the failures of structures and institutions and representatives that are causing the problems. (And "failures" is often a nice way of saying "powerful people DO want this shit")

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.
