Part of disability justice is curtailing CVE / threat assessment programs that stigmatize people with mental illness as violence-prone. Disability resources should be about liberation, not criminalization.
Thirty-two years ago, President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act – one of the most critical moments in our coalition’s history and in the long history of the civil rights movement.
Today, our commitment to the promise of the ADA remains strong. #ADA32

CP3 doesn't address white supremacist violence. Instead, it profiles people based on overbroad indicators. Have you gone through a breakup recently? According to CP3/TVTP, you might be at risk of becoming a terrorist.
In response to #January6th, Biden is increasing policing & surveillance instead of really addressing white supremacy. There's no equal opportunity surveillance, expanding DHS & DOJ will expand white supremacist violence.
CVE cannot be rebranded. #StopCVE

I get talked over & ignored by white queers a lot. To the point where I think I don't belong in this whole 'diversity & inclusion' world. I can't be the only queer person of colour that feels this way. We're being pushed out of spaces we should be running.

Re: NSC & Patriot Front in Boston. It is futile to demand that law enforcement, a main pillar of systemic racism, respond to white nationalism. The DA, police, BRIC, etc are not a solution. Here are some Do's and Don'ts for Massachusetts folks.

Wow! Hijabis half as likely to get a call back in the Netherlands.
I’d like to a see a similar study done in the US, where Hijabis have higher unemployment than non-Hijabi Muslim women. doi.org/10.1016/j.rssm…

I was getting coffee with my daughter this morning. A white woman saw us, came over to us and said, “ohhhh, whose child did you steal.” I laughed and said, “only white people can steal other people’s kids and act like they’re theirs.” She grabbed her coffee and left.

This is horrible. The GOP just released a national anti-trans bill. It will not pass this year, but this shows their intentions if they win.
HB8170 would force teachers to:
- Misgender trans students.
- Out trans kids to their parents.
- Withhold affirming trans kids in therapy.

Lets all never forget this day! #Sarah_Hegazy was an Egyptian lesbian & queer activist. In 2017, Sarah was detained for 3 months & tortured in prison after her public appearance at a concert in Cairo waving the pride flag. (1/5)
