"If there was ever a time to act up and fight back, it’s now. Our country’s future – & the lives of millions of trans Americans – depends on it."
OCAB's @harpersebishop writes how scapegoating trans ppl is part of a strategy to suppress all civil rights.

“On Easter, the story of Jesus — born in Bethlehem, living under occupation, crucified by empire — echoes the Palestinian experience: a people who face oppression, loss, and injustice, yet refuse to be erased. Just as resurrection followed crucifixion, Palestinians hold onto hope, dignity, and resistance, believing that even from the darkest tombs, life and freedom will rise again.

@AdamBojak Will they open it back up? Will new people be chosen now that there is a spotlight on the fact that the process is essentially a sham and only politically connected people get chosen?
Trans people aren’t the reason for high egg prices, skyrocketing rents or why 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. United in anger, we must fight the system that created such vast inequities in the first place and reject hate, fear and division.

It's been a dizzying week locally and nationally. ICYMI here's a piece I wrote about the real 1% we should be worried about and it's not trans ppl, I promise you that.

Buffalo's elite are part of a big club — one you're not in.
A new report, 'Who Rules Buffalo,' breaks down who the rich & powerful are & how they use their influence. In short: The richest have gotten richer, and public dollars flow into private hands.

Truly fantastic @ourcityaction resource here on the Buffalo power structure. Incredibly helpful for organizers. Every Buffalonian should read this. Every city should do one of these.

Buffalo folks will want to check out this report "Who Rules Buffalo?" published by @ourcityaction.
It's a fantastic analysis of local power and why all our economic development silver bullets keep making the rich richer while working people get screwed https://t.co/Ql9qpq7fmJ
