"What happens when the punishment for the crime of existing is the same as the crime for resistance. What happens when the punishment is the same for violence and non-violence?
What do you think will happen?
What do you think will happen when they have no other option?
What do you think people will choose?"
"What will happen when it's illegal to be #trans everywhere and there's nowhere for us to run anymore?
Do you think we will all just #detransition, wash our hands, and say, well, we gave it a good run, now back to the grind?"
Dr. King, while advocating for non-violence, used to say that, "a riot is the language of the unheard."
What do you think will happen when our backs are against the wall?
>>> I'm not actually sure if people realize when I post these excerpts, that I'm generally posting teasers and not posting the *entire* post (at least not usually). The newsletter is free and you don't even have to subscribe (but you can, and that's free, too).
So yeah, just a heads-up on that.
Continuing with the teasers >>>
"You both round another corner into an alley and before you know it, you've hit a dead-end. The ground trembles and a brick wall rises forth from the ground in front of you. You turn back.
too late"
...
"You catch up with someone else who is also running in the same direction as you. You almost trip, but they catch you. They don't know you, but they know enough to have solidarity. You wonder for a moment if the look in their eyes is a mirror of your own terror.
The vicious ones from behind are catching up."
"Running again, you don't look back, but you can sense others rounding the corner, and you expect she's joined the mob, along with so many that you know, and so many more you don't. They yell that they are going to murder you. Every single one screams it at you.
They're not zombies. They're just people. You realized they've always been this way, it's just that something has risen to the surface, something they have chosen to unmask– to unleash."
"You're drenched in sweat, but you don't have time to think about that right now. You round the corner, almost knocking someone over who looks almost exactly like your sweet (but racist) old landlady.
Actually, you realize, I think that really is my landlady.
You give no apology, you just run.
Before you fully turn away, you see her face begin to take on the expression of something unnatural. Something vicious."
