I have so much to say about
#Charlottesville. I have lists in a lot of places. Half written blog posts. Outdated drafts of Facebook posts. Deep convictions that need words. I’m also struggling to figure out what’s mine to say, what’s risky, what’s not.1 reply 0 retweets 1 likeShow this thread -

Several prominent white supremacists and their followers are directly targeting

I am in solidarity with
@EmilyGorcenski against the violent transphobia of the white supremacist fascists who have been targeting her for over a year. Please join me. It’s so much worse than just whatever footage you’ve seen of#Charlottesville on August 11th and 12th.1 reply 1 retweet 2 likesShow this thread -
Even if what you saw in
#Charlottesville on TV on August 11-12 was the worst you could imagine, the reality is actually worse than that. The reality that@EmilyGorcenski and other targeted activists of color have dealt with this past year is worse than even I can imagine.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread -

@EmilyGorcenski, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the ways in which I’ve directly wronged you this past year, and I’m sorry for my lack of action and lack of voice. You should not be alone. We should all be with you.#Charlottesville will keep fighting and I will keep fighting, too.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likesShow this thread
