Using they/them as a default when you don’t know people’s pronouns is not misgendering. Intentionally using they/them to refer to people who you know only use she/her or he/him is misgendering. What is difficult about this concept

I am the protestor named here who may face life in prison for allegedly buying paint. My co-defendants are facing the same charges as me for similarly low-level allegations. This is political repression — the state wants to silence dissent. Don’t let them. Be loud.

Madalena McNeil is accused of buying red paint before a protest. Under aggressive new criminal charges, it could mean she spends the rest of her life in prison.

What we have all failed to consider is that (allegedly) bracing yourself to be hit by a riot shield is actually much more violent than hitting someone with a riot shield. Perhaps the DA is right: anyone who braces themselves for a physical attack may deserve life in prison

Political repression isn’t just punishing acts that are political in nature. Political repression means the state targets those it views as enemies, and uses the might of law enforcement and the criminal justice system to punish and silence them. This will keep happening.

I do want to add that my first charge, criminal mischief, can technically only go up to a second degree felony on its own. It’s first degree because Sim added a gang enhancement — you know, the kind of thing you reserve for when multiple people get together to kill someone.
