We are now at the stage where expanding the death toll is advocated openly.
Eight days ago I wrote a diary titled "From Fascism to Exterminism," in which I laid out the idea of exterminism. Here's E.P. Thompson again:
The other day my employment specialist sent me a link to a job with the college I got my degrees from for a part time administrative assistant. Let me just tell you right off the bat that the requirements...I'm sorry, 'minimum qualifications' for the job are flat out insane. Here, let me post what I mean below:
Three days ago the Human Rights Campaign released a video featuring four fathers of transgender children talking about their experiences.
The fathers are JR Ford of Washington, DC, Joe Ghartey of New York, Wayne Maines of Maine, and Keith Thomas of North Carolina.
The new transgender advocacy organization Trans United Fund has released its first pro-transgender advertisement:
The video is entitled Meet My Child, and it features three transgender children and their mothers.
Trans United Fund was founded on the conviction that nothing is more transformative than trans people and our families sharing their lives authentically. For too long, the voices of bullies who play to the public's worst fears and demonize our community have been the loudest. For too long, trans people and our families have been kept out of the spotlight for fear that the truth of our lives would be 'off message.' This ad shares the story of three incredibly loving mothers and their children. The story of a mother's love, dreams and hopes for her children and fierce commitment to protect them is something that all Americans understand.
Carla Lewis is a transgender woman from Antioch Tennessee. She was discharged from the Air Force in 2010 for being gender dysphoric.
The 44-year-old's Facebook selfie from Friday has gone viral, with 11,000 likes and 14,000 shares.
The sentiment seems perfect for this Veterans Day.
