Choosing an agenda that supports the apparatuses of racial violence always pays better.

Let’s be gentle with ourselves and each other and fierce as we fight oppression.

I am not arguing that we should never use legal reform as a tactic. Instead, I argue that it should not be a goal.

More conservative advocacy work often encourages portrayals of trans people as people who deserve rights. Deservingness, of course, corresponds to national racial, gender and ability norms.

Many people who are drawn to work about racism and transphobia may be new to thinking deeply about colonialism and indigenous resistance in their North America.

Law reforms in the US, ostensibly enacted to prohibit racism, have proven ineffective because they focus on bad intentions of individuals and fail to comprehend population-level conditions.

Military inclusion has never been a central demand from trans populations, who consistently name criminalization, immigration enforcement, poverty and joblessness as top priorities.

My work is heavily influenced by critiques that many critical intellectual traditions, especially Critical Race Theory, have made of reform projects focused on legal equality.

It's not what you do - it's the intensity of your feeling that determines how far you go in the spiritual life.

I also became a vegetarian when I was 14 because I realized eating animals was cruel.

On the Medicare side, they limited their cuts to far in the future, and to providers.

Japan has introduced fiscal stimulus five times in the past seven or eight years and each time it's been a failure and that's not a surprise. Fiscal stimulus is not stimulating in and of itself.

Shut up, I know what I'm doing!

There's a fine line between being private and being ashamed.

I'm sure Proust was a big bore.
