Spanking children is a sure way to teach them that sexual abuse is okay. There is nothing normal about pulling down the pants of child and hitting them in the behind while they scream no and try to get away. You’re teaching them that no matter how loud they scream and how much they cry and try to get away that they have to just take it. See how that mimics rape. And even worse, parents will tell their kids “I love you” right after. Teaching children that their abusers can love them still. Then people will deadass have the nerve to be confused as to why adults get into abuse cycles that literally mimic the same abuse that their parents inflicted upon them.

when people genuinely cannot conceive of a reason to attend university that isn’t solely about employment i find it quite scary. this country is so anti-knowledge

israel and america do 9/11’s in lebanon and iran every day and it feels like the world barely cares

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:

Cuba has shown us that another world *is* possible, for decades. Despite a crippling blockade, it has survived and persisted. It has sent solidarity, medics and support around the world when help is needed. Defend this island and its beautiful people. Hasta la victoria siempre.

And after killing her, they threw Pancake themed parties where they made pancakes celebrating “turning her into a pancake”. The Israeli depravity you see on display today is not new. It is not something that started on Oct 7th. It is how the Israeli society has always been!

I will never be able to get over how normalised cruelty is towards non-mammal marine life

[Pearl Rose @hipearlrose]

you gotta be strangermaxxing you gotta be chatting up random people as much as you can. Big Individual lobby doesnt want you to, but that is why you must

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

My heart just sank. We’ve normalised millions of people living in tents while those who bombed their homes still control their borders, their aid, and what goes in and out.

i'd rather be that one friend that's too woke because america's first cookbooks were for eating slaves and the guy who is still called the "father of gynecology" was experimenting on and torturing black women

Genocide includes the erasure of history.

[Nur Dogan @nurdogandiyorki]

You are seeing less news coming from Gaza because Israel has killed 260 journalists since October 2023.

[y. @WhyVeeES]

I personally do find joy in a lot, even things that are critiqued by people I like. However I would be silly to think those things are part of resistance. What does my personal joy do for the collective?

[trinity amari colón @trinityxac]

also sad bc i see great posts & messages recognizing the super bowl performance as co-optation from the U.S. but not in accessible language </3 we need to carry these conversations into our communities :(

[trinity amari colón @trinityxac]

yea absolutely hate “together we are america” lmao, it erases decades of U.S. colonialism & violence across Latin America. there can be no unity with the U.S. while we all suffer at the hands of it. the oppressed do not benefit from collaboration with the U.S. i’m losing my mind

[Abogardo de los Hilos 🇵🇸 @BajaAlcurnia]

Nada me va a convencer de que lo de Bad Bunny (y varios otros famosos) es activismo performativo. El hecho de que haya podido hacer lo que hizo en el Super Bowl significa que el sistema se lo permite. Es decir, es aceptable porque no lastima realmente el orden establecido.
