Today is Bastille Day, 14 July 2024.

France, my second country, celebrates Revolution.

France will never vote for an ultrarightist government.

The tradition of Revolution is too deep.

France will never forget the Vichy era.

France knows what fascism is.

France knows how to fight fascism.

In the streets. Not in the suites.

Get in shape, comrade, if you want to make a difference in this battle.

I was lucky. At the beginning of my sex change, on my last Intel assignment in the Balkans, I was attacked with a Russian Novichok chemical. In my right knee.

I had money then, and promises of more.

For the first time ever, I hired a trainer. Male. Ex-USMC. To get me back using my right leg.

There were some amusing moments involving the fact that I was already dressing femme and had to be careful about changing at the dojo.

The plank, homey. The plank kills fascists.

Last month France gave the world an example. The French Left, not the liberals, beat the fash.

Americans are history-poor. Americans don't understand that political development is global, not merely globalist. Look at the 1930s: revolutionary events in Europe were paralleled by general strikes and, amazingly, factory occupations in America. Flint was Flint.

Don't believe me: I may be very wrong. I didn't see Cville coming. I didn't imagine the moral collapse of SCOTUS.

But I believe the global right wave has broken. UK and France are America's historic partners. We can lead a democratic rebirth. I hope the Biden team has the smarts to sit down with Sir Keir Starmer's people.

The collapse of the right trend began in Poland. Where the government was transphobic. Where I cannot visit. I cannot take my Big Domme to Bliklé, the Warsaw pastry shop with rose petal tarts. I so want to.

That's fine. Poland is on the frontline against Russia. Poland without recognition of trans rights remains Poland and transfolk without Polish approval are still transfolk.

Just like here in America. Trans will harden under the blows of the phallocracy. Trans will fight back.

We had TransMarch and Pride here in San Francisco not long ago. As a historian I suddenly imagined what it was like to be a communist Jew in Berlin in 1933. We march with confidence in a city where the other half of the populace wants to kill us. Our political shepherds make us think we're safe.

We're not safe as sex rebels. No sex rebels are safe in America. Husbands fuck tranny hos on the DL and then beat up "their" women. Or they incite against us in the name of "their" women. Or they incite "their" women against us.

In the Pride weeks I was insulted, harassed, and battered every day because of my femme appearance. I liaise with police daily; sometimes twice daily. Sometimes three times. The police station is open 24 hours.

Hate doesn't sleep.

I have a dark secret. I spent 30 years of my life as a man's man in a suit, employed as a human rights investigator in ex-Yugoslavia. For State; for Brussels; for the UN; for the Dutch; for Israel; for Iran.

I saw the world.

I am now very pro-Ukraine.

Here is a secret. A very dark secret.

Ukraine hasn't seen Russian troops and militia going house to house killing whole families. Say, five families in an afternoon. A nice sunny afternoon. Clear air. A light breeze. Maybe ten families in an afternoon.

Killing dad. Killing mom. Killing grandma. Killing the kids one by one. Raping the daughter. Torturing the son to find hidden money. Killing the dog. The cat.

Whole villages in Croatia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, and Kosovo disappeared.

Hasn't happened in Ukraine.

Happened in Israel: Hamas going from house to house killing families.

Not in Ukraine yet.

Not in France.

Not in America.

The attempted killing of DJT is an obvious indicator: America is out of control.

People; workers especially; union members:

A great moment approaches.

We can walk in the footsteps of Joshua Chamberlain, commander at Little Round Top.

We can redeem the course of Rosa Parks's life.

We can be who the Goddess meant us to be.

Get in shape. Get your body ready for combat. I was injured and on a cane yet I shake 'em down for bands and fight in the street.

Trans women: be a vanguard. Show the world how beautiful we are. Be brave: we are the future.

Sex rebels: read De Sade and Reich. Understand that the age of repression is ending.

Days before the Bastille fell, De Sade, the only individual held there, hung a banner from his window, made of a sheet, inscribed THEY ARE TORTURING THE PRISONERS.

Our time is now.

This great revolutionary anthem was inspired by Benjamin Franklin's description of the future of our Republic: it will go, it will go.


Time for us all to go out, to get ready, to strut and shout: Revolution! Revolution! A Festival of the Oppressed!
