Devil Makes Three - For My Family
This has been my all day jam for days now. Fucking awesome.
Your daily reminder.
My vegan powers include an over inflated sense of my own self importance.

“In a meeting on Capitol Hill, acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller described the employees as being “off the reservation,” according to the source. It was not clear precisely what the alleged behavior involved.”
…And acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller can be described as COMPLETELY FUCKING RACIST.
Long story short: Child born not easily identifiable as a male or female and was a ward of the state. State makes a decision and operates. Eight years later, it seems the state made the wrong decision.

My name is Aric McBay. I’m the primary author of the book Deep Green Resistance and was (rather briefly) one of the original people behind the organization which Be Scofield writes about on your website.
You mention in your piece that I’m a founder, but what you probably don’t know is that I left the organization at the beginning of 2012 after a trans inclusive policy was cancelled by Derrick Jensen and Lierre Keith. Many good people and good activists left the organization for that reason.
I find these transphobic attitudes to be disgusting and deeply troubling, and it bothers me a lot to have any past association with people promoting transphobia.
For me, trans rights and trans inclusion are fundamental to building effective movements and to building a world worth living in. Speaking as the main author of the book that inspired the organization in the first place: they are most definitely my core values.
And transphobia—like racism and sexism and classism and homophobia—is a poison that those in power use to destroy movements and ruin lives. When faced with such poisons, who needs COINTELPRO?
Solidarity between movements is the only hope we have. I would appreciate it if you would mention this as an addendum on your piece, because I want to make it clear to people that I, and the vast majority of radical environmentalists, fully support trans rights and trans inclusion. I don’t want to allow a few outliers to drive wedges between movements that can and should support each other.
And you can quote me on that.
In solidarity,

On May 13, 1985, Philadelphia police dropped explosives containing C-4 on the roof of a house where members of the black liberation & social justice organization MOVE lived. Right before, police attacked the house with 10,000 rounds of ammunition in 90 minutes, knowing that children were inside. The house burned for 45 minutes before hoses were turned on.
Eleven people, including founder John Africa, five adults & five children were killed. The incident also destroyed 65 homes in the area, leaving 250 homeless. Witnesses reported police officers shooting at those trying to escape from the fire that ensued.
MOVE continues to advocate for prisoners’ rights & for the release of Mumia Abu-Jamal & nine MOVE members who were found guilty of the murder of a police officer in 1978.
Sigh… This was in response to several trans people requesting that DGR leave the Law and Disorder conference.
Anyone else notice that there is nothing deep or resistant about the so called “Deep Green Resistance?” Shit, with it’s authoritarian marxist leanings it won’t be long before it isn’t green either. It’ll all become about economics and old left analysis the same way all the Marxist green groups eventually do.
Anyhow, transphobia, speciesism, cop-collaboration, and other nonsense run deep enough with DGR that I think they are best avoided.
CB and all of her little followers need to fucking stop already. JUST STOP.
