Bring irreligious should not mean accepting all secular, western cultural norms…a lot of religious morality has been replaced with morality that originates from…the market. Cultural critique should be encouraged.
TODAY— Photos were smuggled out of Ecuador’s prisons and published by the brave Karol Noroña. Under the current U.S.-backed military dictatorship, inmates are starved and 1 dies every 7 hours— an alarming rate for the 2nd smallest nation in South America. NOBOA IS A MURDERER.
Killed that lil boy and then claimed he pointed a gun at him after the fact to argue “self defense”. The exact same shit George Zimmerman pulled with Trayvon. “I was the victim of the child I was stalking with a gun trying to kill” should not be an accepted legal defense, and yet
To this day, Americans are more concerned about their financial well being than the victims of imperialism abroad. For example, talks about oil prices dominating over the conditions that cause the oil price hike in the first place. Evil. It’s just evil.
This is what Bolivia's highways look like at the moment.
Each town & village blocks their stretch, and the union members in each community take turns at the barricades. This is part of the general strike against neoliberalism. Now entering week 3.
As someone living under a US-backed dictatorship, I can tell you this is how it begins. 2 years and 21 State of Exceptions later, we’re ruled by perpetual martial law with Pentagon bombs, sexual torture, military checkpoints, activists starved, waterboarded or disappeared by soldiers. A little DEA operation turns into the opening of an entire FBI Office in our capital, the military killing protesters at a general strike turned into targeted assassination plots on indigenous labor activists, a few visits from a U.S. Envoy turns into U.S. boots-on-the-ground operations where campesinos are electrocuted. Ecuador has lived all of this already: the hijacking of a once socialist nation literally beat into a Yankee colony. We cannot let it happen to our sister nation of Bolivia too.
🔴Israeli bombs continue to rain down on Lebanon with no end in sight.

Marco Rubio: "Cuba not only has weapons they've acquired from Russia and China, but they also host Russian and Chinese intelligence presence in their country. So Cuba has always posed a national security threat to the US. They're a leading state sponsor of terror."
Let there be no mistake: the United States stands squarely in support of Bolivia's legitimate constitutional government.
We will not allow criminals and drug traffickers to overthrow democratically elected leaders in our hemisphere.
It begs the question: Should we still strive to have our community members attend these institutions? If yes, how do we raise the youth to have the proper mindset before attending, else risk losing them to white America? What alternatives can we provide?
The people celebrate minorities going/graduating from Harvard/elite universities, but the people never mention that Harvard/elite universities are the institutions that train the next generation of oppressors (including said minorities).
Overcoming the odds is an amazing individual accomplishment, but does it contribute to collective success on its own, as is often celebrated on Instagram and TikTok?
Every graduation season, it hurts my heart that the second part of the conversation never takes place.
