I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.

Platner sat for lengthy interview with antisemitic conspiracy theorist, said he was 'longtime fan' of his show

Beneath a black and white picture of a dark haired woman dtaring into thr caera with a half smoked cigarette If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same. Marjane Satrapi

Thinking about this quote aqain by Marjane Satrapi.
Also i never know why they choose this picture- the woman was born in 1969, this makes her seem midcentury

I stand with the Iranian people and the people of Palestine.

This was from the previous Israeli bombing of Iran, not the Purim War

Well, they did both-sides Elon Musk doing a Nazi salute, so...

An ADL tweet! Today is #Purim — a holiday when we celebrate the thwarted plot to annihilate the Jewish people of Persia, modern-day Iran, and the courage of those who stood up against hatred. This year, the Purim story feels closer than ever. The former Iranian regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei — a man who openly and obsessively called for the destruction of the Jewish state of Israel and the death of Jews worldwide — is a stark reminder of how the themes of this holiday echo into the present day. In Judaism, we are taught to cultivate joy even in the darkest of times. Joy and grief coexist, and we hold space for both. So, as we rejoice this Purim, we recognize the dangers and uncertainties of this moment. We are praying for the safety of American service members in harm's way, Israeli civilians and soldiers, our partners and friends in the Gulf and all others in the region who have already been targeted. with a pic of hamantashen and a mask and "HAPPY PURIM FROM ADL" https://x.com/ADL/status/2028891275038961807

When you have lost any remaining capacity to read the room

“empathy isn’t a limited resource” sounds pretty hollow when you talk at length about how soldiers don’t have a choice as if they did not sign up by choice, while not acknowledging the primary victims of imperialism.

please explain to me which “just” wars the US has fought in your lifetime.

We don't even need a Declaration of Independence to do it. It's just the right thing to do.

this seems really unfair to some professors with PhDs, but I do believe that anyone who’d write this might actually be correct about their own capabilities

How a Mutual Aid Network Built Direct Support for Migrants Across Minnesota “There’s nothing like getting to give someone their rent money,” says mutual aid organizer Ashley Fairbanks.

"As businesses in immigrant corridors shuttered, families sheltered in place, and ICE activity intensified, organizers, faith groups, mutual aid networks, and everyday residents began building new forms of support in real time." truthout.org/articles/how...

Black Rose/Rosa Negra and our Latin American sibling organizations reaffirm our statement from last year: against all imperialist and capitalist wars, against the US and Israeli attack on Iran.

They would have bonded over racism

"Condemning war crimes is transmisogyny" is a new one.

What do you think happens to trans people in the regions that United States soldiers are bombing?

The majority of trans folks live outside of the imperial core & are not white. We exist in every culture & country on Earth throughout history.

I don't think USians correctly perceive the threats.

If you simply cannot acknowledge that those whose bodies grease the engine of imperialism bear some responsibility for their actions, then you're just a propagandist.

The difference is clearly that the soldier is humanised, a real person, a member of your society and community and Nation, while the browns are an abstraction, a thought experiment you can't bring yourself to fully empathise with because their pain is ignored and their humanity denied.

If you want to make the philosophical argument that the soldier pulling the trigger for imperialist masters and the ones he aims his gun at are both victims of a violent system, you better actually acknowledge who is harmed first and who is harmed more in that exchange or you're just doing apologia.
