A TERF Is A White Supremacist Whose Gateway To White Supremacy Is Anti-trans Bigotry, Instead Of Anti-Semitism

“A TERF is a white supremacist whose gateway to white supremacy is anti-trans bigotry, instead of anti-Semitism or anti-Blackness or anti-migration or misogyny. As with any gateway, many people engaging in this ideology may not be aware of their proximity to white supremacy. This is the standard radicalization pathway that we have seen over and over and over with, for example, anti-Islamic sentiment. Personally, [I] find it is most comparable to how anti-Semitism gateways are used. Often, we see white supremacists exploiting legitimate grievances with the financial systems by turning into an anti-Semitic issue. White supremacists take legitimately frustrated and class-oppressed people’s anger at banks, and carefully plant the seeds of anti-Semitism. They’ll point out the irrefutable fact that there exist Jewish people in executive positions in banking and vilely twist this. TERFs take a legitimate grievance: patriarchal oppression of women and homophobia and turn it into a movement based on systematic exclusion of a specific class of people. This is the redpill. [We] need to stop the good-faith engagements with their ideology and start treating it like the gateway to white supremacy that it is.”

PSA to my white friends and followers: In the wake of a phenomenally important guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin Trial, I’d like to remind you all that the fallout of this case will likely mean more police violence against our Black friends and neighbors, not less. Looking at the statistics in the weeks leading up to this verdict shows that this is already the case. Police in this country are angry that society is beginning to hold them accountable for their abusive actions, and they are looking for revenge. So if you see a cop interacting with a BIPOC, DO NOT walk away. Video record if you can (and as long as it doesn’t further jeopardize the safety of the BIPOC involved), but absolutely do not walk away. It is critical that we do our part and look out for people, and make cops think twice about abusing their powers of authority and near-immunity to murder citizens people.

hello! just a lil smth, please don’t scroll!

the covid situation in India is extremely bad right now. there are 200k+ new cases every single day, there's a SEVERE oxygen shortage in hospitals, and less than two percent of the country is vaccinated. I've had two covid deaths in the building I live in.

our government does not care.

I'm aware most of this site and my followers live outside India, so here's what you can do.

- if you're in the US you can use this link to find your representative and then contact them asking them to support the suspension of vaccine patents. here's an email template, though PHONE CALLS are more effective.

- this is the UK link to find your MP

- https://peoplesvaccine.org/take-action/ has more things you can do and resources to educate yourself

- this is a constantly updating Google Doc listing fundraisers accepting international donations . It includes organisation distributing food, oxygen cylinders, PPE, and covid kits to frontline workers and vulnerable people.

- DO NOT GIVE ANY MONEY TO PM-CARES IT IS A FRAUD

Brazil is suffering from the worst COVID outbreak there is, and no one is talking about it. This is not just in terms of the number of cases, but also the government’s active refusal to do anything and in fact hurting attempts to help. 1 in every 4 COVID deaths in the world is in Brazil. There isn’t enough access to vaccines. Food is unaffordable, let alone masks. People are actually starving to death. Hospitals don’t have enough beds or oxygen. And if this is not enough of a reason to talk about it, the variant that is sweeping through Brazil is twice as contagious, and has also been seen to infect people who have already been infected with other variations of the virus. The variant has crossed borders already.

These Twitter threads give all the details that i know. Please go through this and share widely. 

The second twitter thread provides details of how to donate. Here is a link. It is in Portugese, but google translate is working fine here and also, the author of the thread will translate to guide donation if contacted. 

Please share with as many people as possible. The people of Brazil need international support.
