This work is what built my platform. Because of this platform, and because I am trans, queer, female, and non-white, when the white supremacists chose to invade my town, I became an instant target.

I don't particularly enjoy anti-Nazi activism. I would very much like to go back to focusing my activism efforts on my professional space.

But this is what is necessary. When Nazis invade your town you have two choices: speak out or do nothing. To do nothing, for me, is unconscionable. For speaking out, I have been a continuous target.

Today, in Charlottesville we got an alert that a violent fascist was planning to come to town. This morning, a story I sourced about a Nazi Marine went big. I have emergency safety plans that I had to enact today.

I don't want to always talk about Nazis. But until this is over, I cannot stop. Nazis murder. I hope to stop those murders.

They came here to kill me. And they failed.

I am here because I am supported by a remarkable group of people. I do not do this work alone. It is tiring, and I am tired. But I won't stop.

I miss the old Charlottesville. Before it was a 'thing that happened', before it was a common noun. Back when it was just a place and Mas was a great place to eat and drink on Saturday night. When there was just live music everywhere and just a farmers market on Sunday mornings.
