Spoiler Alert: If the only Black activist you approve of is one that was killed by the state at 39, you're probably not fond of Black folks.

So the plan is to just murder Palestinians in broad daylight while disappearing migrants at home, building bigger prisons & Cop Cities, cutting thousands of jobs under the pretense of austerity , casting universities as police, cutting Medicare & social security,

Gender expansive people have always existed. In every culture, every time. A fascist government can try to erase our history & deny our existence, but we know the truth. Human beings are so much more diverse than some have tried to convince us. Trans people will always be here.

It’s so silly to silence poets when it’s silence & blank spaces that highlight our words.

Update on Mask Bans in Nassau County:

Cops are not medical professionals. They should never be given the power to decide who can legally wear a mask for health reasons.

If you are in Nassau County, please keep wearing mask. The mask ban bill does still include a health exception, so you have the right to assert that you are wearing a mask for health reasons. But the bill gives cops power to intimidate people wearing a mask, so please be careful.

Here's the Nassau County mask ban bill language. Health and religious exceptions are noted, but leaves it up to the judgement of the police officer. As written, the ban applies to all public spaces, not just protests. There will be many legal challenges. nassaucountyny.gov/AgendaCenter/V…

It's official: Mask ban in Nassau County, New York passes along party lines, 12-0 (7 abstentions). It makes wearing a mask a misdemeanor (with unclear health and religious exceptions) and gives police the power to fine people wearing a mask $1,000 and sentence them to jail time.

The deadliest mass-shooting in US history killed 60 people. Today, Israel killed at least 210 Palestinians in Gaza. If Hamas had killed 200+ Israelis today, that massacre would dominate all media coverage. But Palestinian lives don’t matter, so the massacre is a footnote.

All my thoughts today with Palestinian mothers, Sudanese mothers, Congolese mothers, Black mothers, indigenous mothers, incarcerated mothers… may we honor and strengthen the love that binds us to you and protect and defend the life you’ve given this planet.

I’ve said it before and I’m doing to say it again: Indigenous people don’t burn their native lands. Indigenous people don’t destroy ancestral tree farms. Indigenous people don’t uproot plants. Colonial settlers do.
