  • I don’t mean it as a gotcha. Clearly too many people don’t care about the rights and dignity of other people unless it affects them. I wish they did, but the current political climate makes it clear that they don’t.

    So I think this is worth bringing up to people about any social justice issue. Racism and nativism are used to control white workers. Patriarchy hurts men. Transphobia hurts cisgender people.

    However, it is crucial to communicate to people that these ideologies are fundamentally bad and need to be abolished or else people can walk away thinking “We need to implement transphobia the ‘right’ way so it stops hurting cis people.”





  • Other outlets were using footage that began with Michael Stewart throwing the first punch. However, this video shows the other guy try 3 times in a row to take the book out of Michael Stewart’s hands. The police took no action about the repeated assault until Michael Stewart responded by punching his assailant.

    However, I think Michael Stewart will have difficult time with a self defense argument in court because he escalated the situation well beyond what was needed to defend himself.

    I’d be an obvious act of war. Republicans and most average Americans would feel justified in joining with Russia to rip Ukraine in half in retaliation. Even Europe would be hesitant to defend Ukraine because we had all just seen the Ukrainian president (fatally?) assault the king of america on live television.

    However, within the country I think if any national level democratic politician was serious about the threat posed by trump they should use their political position to get access to him and then tackle him and start punching. Obviously they’d go jail. Obviously there’d be a national scandal. But the dude is old a hard fall would kill him. In the long run, it’d do way more good than holding up a “this isn’t normal” index card.
