"More veterans die by suicide every two days than were killed in action in 2019."

Dean Spade: "Where there are U.S. military bases, there is intense sexual and gender-based violence. This includes sexual violence towards women living near military bases, towards sex workers of all genders, towards women inside the U.S. military, and harassment and sexual violence towards people perceived as weak or as gay or as trans. This is just a normal part of what U.S. militarism is. It's inseparable from the culture. Rape as a tactic of U.S. militarism is as old as U.S. militarism itself, going all the way back to the systemic rape of Indigenous people to colonize and settle North America."

"Trans inclusion in the military, like marriage equality, does nothing to redistribute wealth, stop police violence, housing and health care crises plaguing queer and trans communities."

“When it comes to trans advocacy, we want to ask what reforms will save trans people’s lives. The answers are clear: access to housing, income, food, childcare, health care. Military inclusion advocacy does not make the list.”

"What is effective and pragmatic is whatever reduces contact with the police".

Yesterday, Israeli soldiers killed Israeli citizens: Three men aged 25, 26 and 28 were "identified" by the Israeli army "as a threat" while in a combat zone in the north of the Gaza Strip.

"We can see the division of the globe into grievable and ungrievable lives from the perspective of those who wage war in order to defend the lives of certain communities, and to defend them against the lives of others — even if it means taking those latter lives."

from Judith Butler’s 2009 book “Frames of War: When is Life Grievable?”: https://conversations.e-flux.com/t/judith-butler-precariousness-and-grievability-when-is-life-grievable/2826
