TLDR: Animal oppression runs deep, and it's going to take more than eating plant-based diets to liberate our fellow earthlings.

may the soil protect those who respect her and see her as an equal. May we divest from those who right now have the power to destroy our lives, our planet, our communities.

Jeremiah Burroughs, Puritan, on Psalm 112, stresses that a good person lends and distributes to the poor. And their righteousness endures forever. Burroughs says that mercy is a special part of righteousness.
Do we today hold this to be true? Is it not seen as a distraction?
How can you guide your affairs with such discretion?
This morning I'm the 'being with feelings' support person (available to head into a breakout room and support folks who are experiencing big feelings) in a workshop on social justice skills and practices (social justice as a 'doing' that is always ongoing and in flux rather than a 'being' 'good'). It's being presented by one of my beloveds, and I am very excited about being part of this. It's called "EDI as a social justice marathon" #SocialJustice #AntiOppression
Just a reminder, the US Empire is the oppressor and will lie to, manipulate, and threaten the oppressed without reservation.
During a session in the #Israeli Knesset, #Arab Member of the Knesset Aida Touma-Suleiman was interrupted multiple times for merely equating the lives of #Israeli and #Palestinian children, as MK Meirav Ben-Ari insisted that they were not equal. When it was her turn to speak, Ben-Ari stated that the children in #Gaza brought this upon themselves.

Beyond the Razor Wire, the Streets
"Rather than get caught up in arguments about legitimate violence (or anything, really) with radlibs & zionists, we propose that opponents of colonial captivity worldwide seize this opportunity to support the antagonists of prison regimes, concentration camps, & police states. We can draw attention to their struggles through militant education, vocal public support, & attacks on the systems & structures that keep them prisoner."

At the end of the day, what I really care about is debunking the myth that #TransLiberation, BlackLiberation, and #DisabilityJustice aren't intrisically linked.
Any person or group working toward goals that supposedly serve one systemically oppressed community at the expense of others can't actually claim to be doing #AntiOppression work or practicing the values of #Diversity, #Equity, #Inclusion, #Justice, and #Acceptance.
@futurebird @simid Troubling is the tip of the iceberg.
This is also blatant #erasure of people with overlapping identities. None of these identities are exclusive of each other. #Intersectionality matters. #Black people exist in both the #trans and #disabled communities. Some of the strongest #AntiOppression leaders are all three.
Conversations about #Discrimination and #Oppression that aren’t #Intersectional don’t serve the goal of advancing #equity.
There’s so much going on inside and outside. Thus, what a great day to stay in bed.

We would not exist without Black women. We could not even IMAGINE being free, without the work of Black women.
And yet I’ve never witnessed such deep hatred than what is hurled at Black women.
Black women owe everyone else NOTHING. And yet how dare humanity demand everything?
@seanalan #EmergentStrategy is such a beautifully written and informative book.
I just purchased #AdrienneMareeBrown's book #HoldingChange and am looking forward to delving into that more into the new year.
Happy to take other recommendations about #movement & #antioppression #facilitation, #Participatory processes, and #DemocraticGovernance
