THIS! It seems to me that what counts as “political violence” is already shaped by a white supremacist thought pattern.
Was violent. The institutions he built and contributed to are bastions of political violence. No one is denouncing them. Where does the line end and begin?
Who dare to speak our minds? These denunciations of violence are so hollow. These people are so full of shit—democrats and republicans.
We turn a blind eye to all the lives Charlie Kirk ruined—we refuse to take seriously how he affected so many people in the worst way possible. His rhetoric…
My question is, always: what is the difference between political violence and (allegedly) other kinds of violence? Do we count the systematic elimination of people’s healthcare as political violence? What about the mass hate mail and harassment that is directed toward those of us on the left…
We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again
assassins dress like cops bc that’s who’s allowed to murder people in broad daylight
Karen Bass is another instantiation of what Saidiya Hartman once called “Crow Jane.”

Jonathan Freedland trying to deceive ppl by making it a duel hatred. Before October 7 Palestinians were relegated as to how much water they could have, how many calories, they were routinely shot, arrested, beaten up and had their homes stolen. Before October 7 they were being persecuted…
"These attitudes correlate with a sharp increase in ethno-nationalist ideology in the past 20 years."
I’m sure I’m typing into the void.
But what’s needed at the moment is strategic, tactical, and disciplined resistance.
We cannot put our heads in the sand and hope things will get better. They won’t. This president must be stopped. And we have to do it collectively.
When I was in the 8th grade, I made it to the national spelling bee. I got out on the word “penitentiary.”
It seems I’ve been an abolitionist since I was a pre teen lol
On this Trans Day of Remembrance, now more than ever, we need to honour & remember those that came before us who we’ve lost to anti-trans hatred & violence.
Here’s a list of people just from the US this year alone, though likely incomplete.
Their losses will not be in vain!
Hate will not win!
The couplet is FIRE
our ancestors accomplished more, with less, against worse. stay locked in.
somehow ”trump is god emperor and if he wills it it will occur” is a belief that is shared across the political spectrum
Y’all have got it better than we do down here—at least on that front!
