Say Their Name.

Say their name.

Say.

Their.

Name.

Nex Benedict was a indigenous trans nonbinary teenager. They were beaten to death in a bathroom stall. Conservatives say they want to, "protect the children", where was the protection for Nex? That's the thing. There wasn't any. Nex died. And many more trans, queer, and nonbinary minors will if we don't step up and do something. What happened to Nex has and will happen to queer folk around the globe. Say their name.

Reposting this from Twitter because I want people to see it and ruminate on it.

For those curious, I took a screenshot of that shithead instead of QRTing to avoid giving them engagement, since I know blue checks get paid for that on Twitter and I'd rather not give them any more money. Not the point though.

Remember that doomerism and defeatism are the greatest weapon of the enemy and that ours is hope. Hope never truly goes out; please hold on to it.

EDIT: Since people keep reblogging about the South Park one being in poor taste, I just want to acknowledge it here even though I did already in a reblog that I unfortunately don’t think anyone saw. Apparently South Park is problematic and has promoted antisemitism, and I’ll admit I’ve never seen it so anything specific about the show would be out of my field of knowledge. I’ll just take everyone’s word for it. Fair enough.

BUT, regardless, on principle that does not devalue anything about the other examples or the point I was trying to make. It’s just generally good to spread awareness like this.

🇵🇸 From BDS:

More than 300 Palestinian sports teams are calling to ban Israel from the Olympics over its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. [...] In Gaza, Israel has killed Palestinian Olympic Football coach Hani Al Masdar, destroyed the Palestinian Olympic Committee offices, and turned sports facilities into shameful mass detention and torture centers. We can’t sit back as the IOC allows Israel to use the Olympics to sportswash its genocide in Gaza and its apartheid regime against Palestinians everywhere. Support the call from Palestinian teams. Join the campaign to #BanIsrael from the Olympics and peacefully disrupt the road to the Paris 2024 games. 

Global days of action planned for March 15-17:

Ahead of the IOC executive board meeting in Lausanne Switzerland (March 19-21), take the call from Palestinian teams to your National Olympic Committee, International Sports Federations and Recognized Sports Federations. Organize protests, sit-ins, peaceful disruptions, or awareness raising events on Israeli attacks on Palestinian sports.

For more concrete information on how you can participate in the campaign, see the link above. You should also check in with your local BDS-affiliated organization(s) to see if they have anything planned for these dates (if they don't, consider bringing it up to them)

If you're not familiar with any BDS-affiliated organizations in your country (or state/city), then take a look at BDS's "Join a Campaign'"page.

There's also a petition you can sign.
