is a very poetic " Have a Dream" speech, but not by the deep,
penetrating social and political analysis he had about
imperialism. And why? Because, in a sense, we censor that
Martin Luther King. Even, like, a Martin Luther King holiday is
constructed to make him more palatable.

in imageI keep thinking of Nex Benedict stumbling out of
that bathroom. Every Queer knows why the school
didn't call an ambulance or the cops. How fast
would the cavalry be if the blonde homecoming
queen got jumped 3 to 1?
We can trace this to anti-Trans laws and
the
damaged b-tch over at Libs of TikTok, to "the
rhetoric"...but these deaths are so much older. Our
school system has rarely been "safe" for Queers. I
was Nex's age when my bully outed me in front of
the entire class. "He's a f-ggot and we all know it."
My teacher just stood there and shrugged like it
was my fault. Now I have to act shocked and
outraged, call this a "wakeup call" so more straight
people give a sh-t. What I am is numb. Another
one. Another reminder that Queer culture was
built on concussions.

"Homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity,
patriarchy, sexism, gender and sexuality-based
violence; these are realities that we have to
grapple with all around the world. It's very
dangerous to pathologize Palestinian society
as uniquely homophobic or that homophobia
is endemic to the society without this broader
context, as well as without understanding
the ways that life under brutal military
occupation exacerbates homophobia within
Palestinian society as well. In order for us to
deal with questions of how queer people are
treated in Palestine, we have to address the
broader landscape of the denial of freedom to
Palestinians more generally speaking."

It leads to empty rhetoric, rally's with
no political foundation, and calls for
"justice" from the very same people who
built a generation of "activists" they can
control. This is a systematic process.
A calculated step taken by the state to
account for social unrest.

US REPRESENTATIVE - DC
PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate
Release
July 9, 2024
Contact: Zakery W (412)-897-2235
DC's US Rep Oye condemns efforts to defund Statehood
Commission
Tennessee Representative Ogles proposed an amendment to
H.R. 8773 to defund the DC Statehood Commission, also known
as the New Columbia Statehood Commission. The commission
advocates for Washington, D.C. to become the 51st state by
lobbying Congress, educating the public, drafting legislation,
and engaging with the community to build support for statehood.
This proposal is seen as another tactic to restrict the
representational autonomy of D.C.'s citizens.
"This amendment is just another attempt to silence DC in our
pursuit of equality and fairness" says Rep Oye "Mr. Ogles has
once again put politics over people by trying to defund DC's
Statehood Commission. For the past decade, DC Senators and
Representatives have reached across both aisles, amplifying our
cause for DC Statehood and strengthening our American
Democracy. Since 2021, as DC's Representatives, I have gone to
different states, both Republican and Democratic led, to promote
DC Statehood. Along with other statehood champions, we have
introduced and/or passed DC Statehood resolutions across this
country. I have appeared on worldwide platforms to advance our
cause. Mr. Ogle's proposed amendment proves that forces
against Democracy are noticing our efforts. As DC's
Representative, I vow to fight back against these threats, scale
up the advocacy and present our noble cause to all of America.
We in DC deserve our voices heard, our vote counted, and our
rights protected. Our only path forward is DC Statehood."

"I'm from San Francisco. I know folks who've,
you know, been in the system and they'll just
say flat out, 'Look, like, she's a cop.' On the
other hand, what's always been really telling
for me is that there are a lot of folks within
San Francisco's criminal justice reform
system, a lot of organizers, a lot of community
groups that are pretty ride or die for her. Like,
they don't agree necessarily with all of the
decisions she's made, but they recognize that
she was one of the few people to even give
them a seat at the table."
