tl;dr objectifying/dehumanizing others is always bad. Don't do it.

The wave of racist attacks taking place around the UK is, in part, the consequence of right-wing billionaires acquiring control of social media. After Elon Musk bought Twitter, he reinstated the accounts of Tommy Robinson and many other fascists. One of Tommy Robinson's key henchmen posted the video that contributed to setting off this wave of attacks. Musk has continued to stoke the fires.
While liberals may respond by calling for more crackdowns on "extremism" on social media, such crackdowns would inevitably target the anti-fascists who represent the last line of defense against despotism. Instead, let's start by asking what it is that billionaires like Elon Musk stand to gain from scapegoating immigrants and promoting civil war, then consider what it will take to stop them.

We are outraged by the murder of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi by Israeli occupying forces in the West Bank. It calls to mind the murder of Rachel Corrie, another US citizen who was in Palestine doing solidarity work, by Israeli forces in Gaza in 2003.
Their names are widely known, but no one knows all the names of the tens of thousands of Palestinians who have been senselessly murdered over the last several months for the sake of racism and colonialism. This illustrates the dehumanization and erasure of Palestinians, which is an affront to the humanity of all people.
May the courage of those who have endured oppression and the bravery of those who risk their lives in solidarity move us all to do what it takes to create a world without genocidal violence.
One of the witnesses of the murder of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was the anarchist Jonathan Pollak. You can read his perspective on the genocide in Palestine here:

Strategizing to Stop Mass Deportations
We've prepared a freestanding zine version of the appendix to "The Case for Resistance," exploring what it would look like to mobilize against Trump's promise to carry out "the largest mass deportation in US history."
https://crimethinc.com/zines/strategizing-to-stop-mass-deportations
Mass deportations will require massive logistics and infrastructure, which offer a host of opportunities for intervention.
“In 2017, a single mass occupation at JFK Airport in New York sparked occupations involving tens of thousands of people around the country. Tactics spread rapidly when they are inspiring. What can you and your community do, right now, to prepare to inspire nationwide resistance to the deportation machine?” 🏴

I feel like all I do on here is just beg for money anymore.
Anyway, speaking of which, I'm back to where I was two months ago. My job has cut my hours down to just 5 per week yet again, and I'm barely making enough to scrape buy. It couldn't have happened at a worse possible time, either, because I need both a new pair of shoes _and_ a replacement for my CPU (apparently it has a bad RAM channel, so now it only supports one channel of RAM at a time).
I'm going to need a cash injection as soon as possible. I think $250 USD will do for these big purchases, plus maybe another $100 for a safety net in case I have any other expenses coming up that I forgot about (so $350 total).
If you want to help me, here's where you can:
- Cashapp: $MyonyMyon (note: this uses my deadname)
- Venmo: @Myony

An update on this:
Thanks so much to everyone who contributed so far. I'm at $205 out of $350 needed. I actually cried when I saw the second $100 donation come through on Venmo.
I did find shoes that should fit me for $42, and a potential replacement CPU for $127, thankfully. As such, I might have overestimated how much money I needed. Even so, every little bit helps, and I could still use another $145 in my account.
All in all, thank y'all so much!

ACLU is trying to sue trump and his bozos over transgender rights. someone smarter in how the justice system works in USA would have to chime how effective that could be, but in any case, they're collecting donations here: https://action.aclu.org/give/protect-trans-people
