  11. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-int. Only #Trump supporting #Republicans could fire this woman - a #pacifist - on the grounds that she supported #violence, @DoomsdaysCW. What was their #evidence? Yes, she opposed Trump & voted, & campaigned for, Zohran #Mamdani. Was that supposed to be "violent"?

  21. Last night, I woke up screaming from a nightmare. This morning, my spouse informed me that we are at #war with #Iran. Coincidence, as humans do horrible things to each other every day. (And I've been taking medication to reduce my nightmares that stem from this.)

    In any case, I normally avoid news and social media on Saturdays, but I make exceptions for major events like this.

  29. I'm a #pacifist, but have no problem with people damaging property for a good cause. Maybe I'm a hypocrite for not doing so myself, but as a #Black transmasculine person, I feel highly vulnerable and don't expect I'd survive an encounter with the police, or jail without being raped or worse.

    Those who can take that risk, I urge you to do so. General strike, whatever it takes. Rallies have their place, but I feel we need more than that at this point to turn things around.

  35. As I have stated often, I am a #pacifist opposed to all firearms and all deliberate killing of others, police and military included. I don't believe in "war crimes" because to me, war itself is a crime.

    All the bigotry and hatred spewed by #Trump last year, including on Christmas Day, upset me. But it also made me decide to try harder to embody and project peace and kindness, rather than reacting with more hatred. I want an end to the violence, and that starts with me.

  39. I'm also derided for my #pacifist stance, being told that this is a privileged position and that Black and trans people like myself need to take up arms against oppression.

    The amount of violence and hatred in the world is becoming too much for me to cope with. I feel there's nowhere on Earth I fit in at this point.

    “Takaichi is a very experienced politician. She has had some experience working in the US as well, a long-term observer of US - #Japan relations, so that's her strength,”said Yuka Hayashi, VP at The Asia Group in DC.
