In my humble brown opinion, the trans rights movement urgently needs to draw from decolonial movements which have successfully toppled entire regimes by creating radical organizations that encourage and publicize targeted boycotts of specific companies that fund and enable genocide.

Today is the last day of Disability Pride Month, celebrating the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and pushing for full inclusion in everyday life Over 70 million people in the US, 1 in 4, have a disability The 2026 theme is “The World Works Better With Us” #DisabilityPrideMonth

Here at the end of Disability Pride Month, I say: not just disability pride. Also disability wrath, disability grief, disability defiance. And moreover: disability ease, disability safety, disability leadership, disability joy, disability creativity, disability liberation, and disability justice.

Just finished book 3 of the year: The Nickel Boys by Colton Whitehead. Emotional, brutal, and gutting. Dealing with racism as not just historic, but passed down like tradition, embedded and codified in society. Unfortunately and frustratingly relevant. An incredibly well-written worthwhile read.

There are people who will show up for you and accept you as you are. Who will wear a mask, hold your hand in the hospital or visit you when you’re laying in bed. Cherish those people. Nurture those relationships. Make sure they know how much it means to you.

If you’ve read this far and have a disabled person in your life, please reach out to them. Say hi. Ask how they are. Offer to visit or provide some help. Show up for them. Never underestimate the power of a small act of kindness, and refuse to leave people behind.

We must stop treating people like commodities. We must stop acting like their value is tied up in what they can produce or their physical ability. We all have value. We all have worth. We all have things that light us up.

People who decide we aren’t “fun anymore” are missing out on all the joy and friendship we have to offer. They’re also denying the reality of the human condition: Disability happens to almost everyone eventually. It’s a minority group you can join at any time.

July is Disability Pride Month. 💙 It honors the ADA — signed in 1990 — and celebrates the dignity, achievements, and rights of people with disabilities. Inclusion isn't a favor. It's the foundation. #DisabilityPride #BodyAndHealth #TNSCG

Disturbing to see that xenophobia & tribalism are becoming mainstream politics in South Africa, as they are in the US. (White supremacy is an especially virulent form of tribalism.) African immigrants are blamed for the failures of the ANC government — entrenched poverty, unemployment, crime...

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.
