  1. CW: CW: transphobia, psychiatric abuse, forced institutionalisation

    There is a political project underway to make transgender existence pathological again.

    That distinction matters.

    This is not merely about terminology. It is about institutional power: who gets to define a person's identity, whose account of their own existence is considered credible, and what happens when an individual refuses the definition imposed upon them.

    The historical pattern is not particularly obscure.
    First, difference is classified as disorder.
    Then disorder becomes evidence of incapacity.
    Incapacity becomes justification for paternalism.
    Paternalism becomes coercion.

    At that point, the institution no longer has to demonstrate that the person is dangerous. It merely has to establish that the person is not sufficiently competent to define themselves.

    This is how medical authority can become a technology of social conformity.

    And no, putting this process inside a psychiatric framework does not make it benevolent. Calling coercion treatment does not alter its coercive character. Calling confinement care does not make the locked door disappear.

    There is a particularly grotesque irony here: people who insist that transgender identities are merely ideological constructions are perfectly willing to construct an elaborate ideological apparatus around the proposition that trans people are mentally defective.

    The objective is not scientific neutrality.
    It is disciplinary legitimacy.

    So let us dispense with the euphemisms.

    If your political programme requires declaring an entire class of people mentally ill because they refuse to live according to your preferred conception of gender, you are not practising medicine. You are practising social control.

    And if your proposed remedy is to remove those people from society until they become sufficiently compliant, then the problem is not their supposed pathology.

    It is your willingness to manufacture pathology in order to justify their removal.

    History has a name for that kind of medicine.

    It is not care.
    It is not neutrality.
    And it is certainly not progress.

    We have already seen what happens when institutions are given the authority to decide which identities constitute legitimate human existence. We do not owe anyone the opportunity to repeat the experiment on us.

  4. CW: CW: Fascism, anti-queer rhetoric, political hostility, profanity.

    Ah yes. The great fascist emergency:

    RAINBOWS.

    Apparently a bit of colour on a wall is now a sinister ideological occupation force.

    Paint over it with a German flag, though, and suddenly it’s “just as it should be.” 🤡

    And then comes my favourite little sentence:

    “Tolerance and diversity are being forced on me.”

    Oh sweetheart.

    If your freedom requires everyone else to disappear, you don't want freedom. You want the freedom to spew your hateful nationalism without any resistance.

    You don't want “unpolitical.”
    You want your politics to be the wallpaper.

    You don't want to be left alone.
    You want us to be invisible.

    And no, I don't think you're confused.

    I think you know exactly what you're doing.

    That's the ugly little secret underneath all that whining about “perversion” and “having things shoved in your face”:

    You want us gone.

    Well.

    How terribly inconvenient.

    We're still here.
    We're loud.
    We're queer.
    We're colourful.
    And we're not asking your permission.

  8. Court case brought by 'Zionist federation' against respected journalist Mary Kostakidis discontinued..

    "Federal court proceedings brought by the 'Zionist Federation of Australia' (ZFA) against journalist Mary Kostakidis have been discontinued “by consent” with “no order as to costs”.

    Kostakidis said in a statement she had spent “two years doing nothing but preparing my defence in a case aimed at silencing me” and the discontinuation was a “win for every Australian who values our democratic right to freedom of political expression”.

    “I want to thank my fellow Australians who recognised the significance of what we stand to lose, stood with me and stepped up to assist me to launch my defence,” she said.

    “The purpose of journalism is to get to the truth – fearlessly – and to hold power to account. This is a win for press freedom, which has prevailed.

    “Watching a people livestream their own genocide while the international community responsible for creating this mess offers the victims sympathy and the perpetrators bombs, diplomatic cover and impunity, has been disgusting.”"

  13. "Núcleo Nacional's rally, under the slogan 'Catalanidad es Hispanidad,' attracted about a thousand anti-fascist protesters organized by the Socialist Youth Organization.

    Following tense moments, the far-right demonstrators fled the scene, leaving the square to the independence supporters.

    Subsequently, several independence groups moved towards the Arc de Triomf, where some began setting fire to containers. During the march, chairs, tables, stones, bottles, and fireworks were thrown at riot control vehicles and deployed officers."

  17. Power grab

    Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab. If you don't know what Omarchy is here's the short summary. David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of RubyOnRails, owner of a software business and millionaire, decided a few months ago to go all in on Linux and - because that's just his MO - thought that turning his setup into a project made sense. Omarchy is just that: A pretty standard Arch Linux distribution with a handful of configuration files, that Heinemeier Hansson (or DHH as […]

  18. Apparently I have too much time on my hands, because I’ve gone and finally finished a short story. 😇

    “State of Correction” is now up on my Ko-Fi (completely free to read):
    -> ko-fi.com/post/State-of-Correc

    It’s a dystopian little tale about trans people, authoritarianism, resistance, and the stubborn human refusal to abandon one another in the dark.

    It’s angry. It’s bleak. It has rifles, rain, drones, government oppression, and things like that.

    So, you know. Light bedtime reading. 💜

    If you enjoy my writing, do have a peek, and perhaps buy the chronically under-caffeinated enby a coffee while you’re there. ☕💜

  20. … qui raconte l’histoire de la lutte contre le fascisme. Ni plus, ni moins : la lutte contre le fascisme. C’est ce que tout le monde devrait faire : parler de cette lutte, parler des raisons pour lesquelles des personnes de tous horizons y apportent leur contribution, leur soutien.

    …which tells the story of the struggle against fascism. No more, no less: the struggle against fascism. That is what everyone should be doing: talking about this struggle, talking about the reasons why people from all walks of life are playing their part in it, support it.

    Was meint "echte Widerstandsbewegung"? Schon heute gibt es zahlreiche Antifaschist:innen sowie militante Aktivist:innen, welche trotz erheblichen Risiken für sich selbst, den Faschist:innen entgegen treten.

    Alleine die antifaschistische Rechtshilfeorganisation Rote Hilfe e.V. kann über die vergangenen Jahrzehnte hinweg von tausenden Menschen berichten, die sich politisch und praktisch widerständig betätigten und nach wie vor betätigen.

    Oder ich denke an jene Antifaschist:innen, die aktuell in Großverfahren wie jenem in Dresden oder in Düsseldorf vor Gericht stehen, oder wie Maja, in ungarischer Haft sitzen.

    Wir haben die Aktion in Berlin, als Anfang des Jahres in einem Stadtteil der Strom abgestellt wurde. Immer wieder gibt es ähnliche Aktionen gegen Stromnetze oder Bahninfrastruktur.

    D.h. schon jetzt gibt es kladestine Akteur:innen die wirkungsvoll agieren. Unter einem offen faschistisch agierenden Regime würde das vermutlich nicht anders sein.

    Und wenn wir in die Zeit 1933-1945 zurück schauen: dort haben die allerallerwenigsten Widerstand geleistet, die absolute Mehrheit hat es sich bequem eingerichtet. Hier lohnt es sich immer wieder das Buch "Hitlers Volksstaat -Raub, Rassenkrieg und nationaler Sozialismus" von Götz Aly zu lesen.

    Ich bin also recht optimistisch, was eine Widerstandsbewegung angeht.

    I've been a member of the #NationalLawyersGuild since law school, when I first read the infamous "Disorientation Handbook," which taught me that I could and should subvert my law school education, but also that there were many other lawyers and legal workers who were committed to a very different way of doing law.

    The #NLG is at a critical time in its history, with the #Trump administration targeting the organization for its solidarity work and its commitment to legal organizing against #fascism

    Please consider giving to this campaign to ensure that the NLG has the resources it needs to continue the struggle.
