2020 didn’t give us “justice for George Floyd.” Biden & Harris pumped billions into the same racist police depts. The political lesson then and now is change only comes with masses in motion—when we concede our power by mistaking ruling class wins for our own, we lose.
look at the data of who votes, who doesn’t, and try to understand why! then look at how much politicians overwhelmingly market themselves to the “middle class” and its aspirants, and ask yourself why that is!
why the poor—the actual poor—is disappeared in mainstream politics!
"You're saying children in Gaza are being shot by snipers???" The fact that journalists are pretending to be surprised by this is disgusting.
There is literally decades of precedent of IDF soldiers deliberately sniping children. No excuse for this dumb act.
Palestinians, children included, are expected to die. Their death and immiseration is background noise to western media. But Israelis—their deaths get in-depth profiles, constant front page coverage and deserve the sympathy of the whole world.
There is absolutely no moral equivalence between the oppressed and the oppressor. The violence of the occupied is the enactment of a moral duty through a language that he did not choose but one that was forced upon him, one he must resist.
it became respected. canonized. put on the pedestal of American classical music. removed from the ongoing conversation of black style and sensibility. made a static thing that no longer belonged to the people. sanitized. placed in glass. left pristine, unchanging, and lifeless.
i checked their socials (twitter/ig) & didn’t see anything beyond rightfully condemning the militarized repression/retaliation which is good but also very easy to say students shouldn’t get their heads cracked in. have they vocalized explicit support for the students demands?
there is nothing normal about just about every cultural, political, or educational institution having direct ties and profiting off death-making weapon manufacturers, imperialist military industry, the commodification of housing and wider displacement of working-poor people
they will show up not b/c they like you, not b/c they agree with you now, not b/c seeing you resist radicalized them--but b/c you have managed to advance whatever struggle & if they want to be part of it, that's what they have to do--
It’s a misconception that the US supports israel against its own interest, or that israel holds the leash in the relationship. Zionism is an attack dog for imperialism—terrorizing the Arab masses & fragmenting Arab politics on behalf of the US. All the Resistance Axis knows this.
the weaponization of ‘ontological jewish suffering’ being among the primary narratives justifying both the genocide being committed in the name of judaism but also as a means of demonizing the public condemnation of said genocide, will be studied/replicated for years to come
hilarious that today is both eid and the met gala. i'm scrolling through instagram seeing the biggest celebrities in the world getting eaten alive by any random group of muslim people taking pics in front of their garage door
Abortion is legal & widely available in China & the DPRK. Today a Supreme Court justice cited this to argue for dismantling repro rights. Letting orientalism & anticommunism go unchallenged only strengthens the fascists—they can justify anything in the name of not being like us
