We will still be queer, trans, gender nonbinary, and genderqueer no matter what our passports say. In fact, as history shows, the more they try to silence and shut us down, we only get louder, stronger, FIERCER & QUEERER.

The NYC MTA is transitioning to OMNY tap-and-pay cards, rendering swipe cards obsolete by June 2026. OMNY is notorious for tracking riders through our devices, digital wallets, and credit card top-ups, and the MTA is besties with the NYPD. MTA Surveillance is a given.

May Palestinians have a moment to breathe, gather, mourn, rest, and live. A reminder for the rest of us. Korea has been under ceasefire for 70 years, technically still at war, and still occupied by the U.S. Empire. We are not yet free. I wish more for Korea. I wish more for Palestine, too.

A reminder, when enough of us boycott, it works, and can work quickly even. It is a spectacular example of the power of organizing. Yes, we can bring corporations to their ruin when we act together. Also, there is no need stop boycotting when the corporations are rotten at the core.
