a lot of people got arrested today. i don’t even know how many. every arrest i saw was absolutely baseless. cops getting restless and just attacking somebody & dragging them off in zip ties. please donate to the bail fund here if you can

fundrazr.com/campaigns/61YI…
it turns out over 30 people were arrested. i witnessed at least a dozen of those - i lost count eventually. what i noticed again & again though was that cops were targeting people they perceived to be tactically necessary to our counter protest: medics & people with megaphones
because they cannot envision a non hierarchical, leaderless mass movement, cops tackle people who look like they are in charge. they think we will crumble without our “leader”. we know another will simply take over leading the chants.
because they are cruel, they target our medics. yesterday when medics were tending to those who had already been pepper sprayed & hit with fists, bikes, & batons, police advanced again, targeting our helpers. the cruelty is the point.

look i know cops never actually face consequences of any kind so he’s not gonna get fired or anything, but hear me out: let us pepper spray him.
honestly though captain jack danilecki of the boston police department should be fired, stripped of his pension, and charged with multiple counts of assault, malicious release of gas, and inciting a riot.
read that whole thread above. christopher has done an incredible job piecing together that whole violent day from dozens of sources of video. it appears that danilecki directly committed or incited all of the significant police brutality.

i get threatened a lot. everything from neoconfederates threatening to put a mossberg down my throat to neonazis threatening to put a glock in my vagina. but the only people who’ve ever put hands on me, the only ones who’ve actually made me fear for my life, have been cops.
from rural georgia to UNC to downtown boston, i’ve shown up to stand against violent white supremacy and fascism & been shoved, kicked, hit, gassed, and groped by cops.
it’s not just that most of the violent right is all talk. many of them are. some are mass murderers waiting for their moment. but for the most part they know they can just create the conditions in which the state hurts their enemies for them.

good morning from boston.
chants of “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re socialists don’t fuck with us,” dissolve into cheers as a brass band arrives at the corner of the park. 🏳️‍🌈
life goes on in the boston public garden as tourists walk around a small army of cops, a full brass band, a black bloc, and hundreds of antifascist queer people as a helicopter circles overhead. they’ve got swan boat rides to get to.
four people have been arrested, which seems inexplicable to me. the march was proceeding peacefully.

Pathan's Diary Entry:
I am very scared now. And everyone else is also scared. I never saw Qamar that scared in today's meeting. Two days we tried to avoid a fight with India. Qureshi asked Qamar to declare war two days before, Qamar asked me to declare war, and we all had to sit
together to decide what to do. None of us had the guts to declare war on India. And on top of that, India is provoking us to attack them. On the other side, the people. For 40 years we were teaching them Pakistani Army is the greatest in the world. They are confused why we are
not attacking. Let me do one thing. I will order the Bhangra ceremony at Wagah to be banned. May be, people will see how strong I am? I will do one more thing. I will ask their Ambassador to go home. Anyways, he won't go home. Physically dumping him across the border will make me

Today is my birthday. Here's a thread about the amazing reason I haven't celebrated my birthday in five years.
So it's 2013, some two and a half years into the Arab Spring. I've gone from unknown to a recognized activist. Living, out of all places in the world, in the UAE, the very country whose government was (still is) leading the assault on the Arab Spring.
I didn't want to have children. My ability to do activism, I felt, was aided by the fact that I had little to lose. Having children, I thought, would complicate the calculus of activism in 2013, in the heartland of the Arab counter-revolution.

Hi, Historian here with my specialty in1930s Germany and LGBT history

You are so super wrong.
Please read a book.

The most famous nazi book burnings were of trans medicinal litterature, much of which was lost forever.
It is true that trans people were not categorized specifically as trans by the nazis (with few exceptions), because *they* saw trans people as Gay or lesbian due to a common misunderstanding in medicinal history to link gender and sexual orientation.
Trans people very much did exist and we know this because doctors had been trying to cure us, trans people specifically, since at least the 1880. I suggest reading Richard von Krafft-Ebing - Psychopathia Sexualis: eine Klinisch-Forensische Studie
