“Soft and submissive” is an oxymoron to me because there is nothing soft about submission. It is hard labor. It requires you to go against your natural desires to contort your mind, body and spirit to someone else’s will. Self suppression is not soft, it is simply silent

[jatella @jatella]

the revanchist conservative mo(ve)ment that’s placing moratorium on political dissent from marginalized populations is as alive/well in black urban communities as it is in white suburban ones.

no one wants critical thinking bc everyone wants a (fascist) return to normalcy.

[victoria ♀️ @fatfabfeminist]

interesting how fatphobia is used as a tool by the left to represent the archetype of the poor racist white american while fatphobia is used by the right to represent the blue haired liberal. both sides use caricatures of fat people to represent the entirety of the side they hate

There’s nothing wrong with a little delusion to get through life. However, the truth of the matter is, you won’t be able to consume, or disassociate yourself out of a crumbling empire, and the consequences of capitalism over the care of people.

[Beatrice Adler-Bolton @realLandsEnd]

Disability isn’t outside the labor struggle, it’s central to it. Capitalism creates debility by designing work that breaks us down and then discards us. Disability is not just a medical category. It’s the byproduct of violence, extraction, and neglect.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:

“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

There is no food to eat, so the women of El Fasher raise their hands to God in prayer.

The UAE is starving the women and children of Sudan.

The same admin that wants you to believe that LGBTQ people are pedophiles and predators is granting immunity to actual pedophiles and predators

#BoycottZARA

@ZARA has chosen to fashion-wash genocide and apartheid.

#BoycottZara until it ends its criminal complicity.

Symbolic wins for a select few won't save us when the systems that brutalize the global majority of women, especially poor women and racialized women remain intact. By @ashleyaviola

Capitalism requires keeping people in a constant state of anxiety and insecurity and making consumption the only means of handling those feelings

Israel kills 51 people waiting for flour

Read this again and again

There is no such thing as an “anti-war President” in the US and I hope Americans are finally realizing it.

Ebony posting this first thing this morning amid sexual assault and harassment allegations is so nasty. And of course the comments are people saying “We stand with Tyler” and “We should defend our own in public.” Y’all are stupid.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off.

This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive".

We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

This is all taking place in lands stolen from Mexico & Indigenous Nations, mind you
