Mittens Romney needs to understand that he is judged by the company he keeps.

You can be the best demon of the lot, but you're still a demon, Mittens.

Get out.

i fucking hate Dell Cameron passionately for what he did to #BreonnaTaylor.

there is nothing worse than Black men who hate Black women (see also: Clarence Thomas)

Unpopular Opinion: former republicans who’re NOW speaking out about the behavior of their former party should BEGIN each statement with an ACKNOWLEDGMENT of their role; affiliation in CREATING this moment…anything less means that we’ve NOT learned the lessons of the past

The future of the “democracy” was lost when those who initiated the conditions which led to Civil War were NOT held accountable AND were allowed to lie about or simply ignore their participation

HISTORY REPEATS

So let me remind folks of sort of fundamentals of anarcho-socialism.

One principle is NO MEANS TESTING, NO GATEKEEPING. Share and share alike. This means, practically, believe people when they say they're experiencing something, even if for some reason (privilege, entitlement, community protection, supremacy, etc.) you cannot perceive it.

THIS MEANS NO ASKING FOR PROOF. If you are here for anarcho-socialism, you should be seeking solidarity, and finding common cause, building bridges, not fences. You should not be civility policing, you should not be questioning the #BIPoC and other folks who are writing about their experiences. You shouldn't be asking them for proof or accusing them of lying. You should instead find ways of asking "how can I help?" or even better, unilaterally discovering how you can help and doing that, without requiring input or supervision or teaching.

Almost every white person I know is terrible at disconnecting the patronizing directive that white supremacy teaches us to do. The idea is that white people are the ultimate arbiters of truth and justice. That your opinion is welcome and encouraged. But let me tell you: it is not. Clamp down on your impulses to police BIPoC and try to keep moving forward collectively.

PSA: nonbinary people are trans too

*caveat, unless they don't consider themselves thus.

but they are not cis, and don't you dare discard them as "not trans enough" because their transition doesn't look like yours

Transitioning in the workplace is different for everyone, that's why listening to experience is important
For all of those in charge, offering an ear and being open to learning is crucial. So we're sharing one perspective of transitioning at work 🏳️‍⚧️
