« A thousand things make it impossible to mistake the verdict on queer lives and on women’s lives, as on the lives of those who are poor or not white. The hecatombs of queer youth; a decade squandered in a killing inaction on AIDS; the rapacious seizure from women of our defense against forced childbirth; tens of millions of adults and children excluded from the health care economy; treatment of homeless people as unsanitary refuse to be dealt with by periodic “sweeps”; refusal of condoms in prisons, persecution of needle‐exchange programs; denial and trivialization of histories of racism; merely the pivot of a disavowing pronoun in a newspaper editorial: Such things as these are facts, but at the same time they are piercing or murmring voices in the heads of those of us struggling to marshal “our” resources against illness, dread, and devaluation. They speak to us. They have an amazing clarity. »

these are not things which can be fixed by the government. these are not things which can be fixed by resisting the government. these are things we need to fix

remember when they destroyed our communal spaces and also our communication technologies and also the internet, and when they enacted a surveillance state and when all the gay bars shut down and the school libraries stopped stocking books and local independent stores got bought out by CVS or Walgreens or Albertsons or got pushed out of business by Walmart or Amazon or Target, and when gentrification destroyed historic neighborhoods in san francisco and new york and chicago and seattle and pushed out the people who made those places special, and when work expectations and mandated productivity increased without an equivalent increase in compensation so we all became too tired and busy to come up with replacements for any of the many many things which were robbed of us and instead were forced to turn to apps controlled by billionaires looking to expand their riches by extracting even more wealth from our plight

remember bush

remember obama
