i am slow to trust anyone who has never grappled with their capacity to do harm to others, who has not made choices they regret
i think alot of queer people are "lottery leftists". lucky moralists that have absorbed the right values and opinions without any rigorous effort or self-critic. i think often these people are concerned with enforcement not for any particular outcomes, but for social security
The Omar El Akkad "one day everyone will be against this" tweet was on October 25th, 2023. Me, probably you, everybody with a head on their shoulders knew that Israel had genocidal intent from the beginning. There have been no surprises about Gaza save the degree of inaction.
Throughout the months of organizing at Columbia, extractive journalists would show up to our protests, nod as we spoke of Gaza, and then reduce everything to a tired free speech “debate.” They preyed on our desperation to be heard & then erased our words about the genocide itself
saw a tiktok that was like “fuck, marry, kill: hamas, houthis, or hezbollah?” and i’ve spent like 30 minutes just contemplating the answer
Get rid of your Ring camera, now.
Ring cameras are partnering with Axon (makers of police body cameras, among other police tech) to make a new feature that allows people to opt-in to police being able to live-stream everything the doorbell camera sees AND allow police to request footage directly from users
Acknowledging that Jewish communities have played a critical role in this genocide doesn’t negate the historic persecution or the revolutionary history of Jews. If anything, it’s a lesson on how ethnonationalism can seduce even the most oppressed people to abandon class struggle.
"thank you for choosing amtrak" no problem there are no other trains
not that it's even close to a priority but this also reflects that the hostages were never the reason, because this starvation is another way that israel is likely killing or endangering them, just like how they shot and bombed so many others already. unfathomably evil colony
walked in on my dad putting scrambled eggs and sausage in my dogs bowl 😔 this is why the vet always says she’s fat when we get back from visiting him
i have a good friend whos an ultra smart philosophy undergrad student. barnard student, great girl, 4'10". maybe a touch neurotic but a great girl. legit cannot find a partner. years of frustration. feel for her. girls like this used to clean up
there is an Arabic proverb: "he kills the victim and then walks in his funeral"
The suffering and starvation unfolding in Gaza is unspeakable and indefensible.
I will always think about how the jewish daycare I worked at held a fundraiser for the IOF you cannot make this shit up. at a fucking daycare
I mean look man there comes a point where when I drive past every synagogue and they’re proudly displaying Israeli flags and pro-Gaza invasion propaganda, that you have to think that maybe at least on an institutional level they’re okay with this.
