Police Departments Tracked Activists in the 1960s and 70s — Then Erased Records by Joshua Clark Davis

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

That is very transgender of you!
Thanks!

Day 8:
Miss Major Griffin-Gracy (b.1946) is a leader, organizer for incarcerated trans people and long-time Stonewall movement elder.

This article is definitely worth a read for anyone interested in US history.

We are truly losing a grip on what is most important😒

Even before coffee, your existence is radiant.

Nostalgia is easier to manipulate than anyone would care to admit.

Because you are awesome!

Yeah, I am calling about my free windmill. Is it ready yet?

Skyttle or as the locals spell it skittle.

Maybe Grok’s just mirroring my thoughts, but its critique of X being broken hits uncomfortably close to home.

You are safe to let go of today.

Sylvia Rivera A veteran of the 1969 Stonewall Inn uprising, Sylvia Rivera was a tireless advocate for those silenced and disregarded by larger movements.

Sylvia Rivera (1951–2002) was a grassroots activist who co-founded STAR and fought for inclusion of transgender people (especially transgender people of color) in the broader LGBTQ+ movement.

Just know that “conversion therapy” is three incoherent pseudoscientific ramblings standing on each other’s shoulders under a trench coat. It’s not therapeutic (it doesn’t help, does net harm), it doesn’t convert (practically no “success” documented), and it should absolutely be banned.

Your smile is an act of defiance against cruelty.

The world cannot dim the light you bring.

Well, keep a close eye on this shutdown.

They say no one wins in a head butt (except in this case against a butt head).

A little extra midweek affirmation for transfeminine souls...

Feminine energy is not an imitation, it is resonance.

It hums in me because it belongs here.

No one can shout over that inner harmony.

You will not shade me out of my light.

With these words in my mind, I can now rest.

True, but unlike past powers, the U.S. is not unified in purpose. The superpower may be at the controls, but the hands on the wheel are fighting each other.

This is not over until it is over!

That is a hard question to ask.

This time we do not have the option. A tyrant with nuclear warheads is not something to give into.

A heavy heart makes for difficult sleep.

History is being made at this very moment and we need to each decide what values we will live for.

Choose wisely.

Transgender people hear daily that their identity is “mental illness” or “demonic.” So if we seem down, please do not compare us to Eeyore. It is not going to land the way you think it will.

Try to just level with us as real humans.

Kindness goes a long way. 🩵💗

Hate got us in this situation but love can get us out.

I see a blue wave coming.
