My grandfather, former General Secretary of Ecuador’s Communist Party, being interviewed on how Che Guevara helped him escape a military dictatorship and took him to Cuba to study guerilla warfare that he then used to found Ecuador’s first marxist guerilla and workers commune ❤️
i will never get over the fact that people now associate em dashes and semicolons with ai like god forbid a girl likes to read sorry i’m literate
When she sends you a breakup text and you see this mf:
my dad asking the hotel workers at my cousin’s wedding if they’re unionized in the middle of the reception
this discussion only continues to hold water because so-called “well meaning anti-Zionist Jews” cannot sit with the discomfort that comes from seeing how they, their friends and their families are complicit or actively aiding and abetting the genocide
The US condemns the Hong Kong government’s latest round of arrest warrants on activists for exercising freedom of expression, including US-based persons. This Administration will always stand up for fundamental freedoms & will not tolerate transnational repression on US soil.

We’re being terrorized by the beauty industry. One in every FOUR people have had a cosmetic procedure and 1 in 4 teens plan to get plastic surgery. Even I, being hyperaware of this and staunchly against patriarchy, still catch myself wondering “Should I get plastic surgery?” Sad
the most valid crash out i’ve ever seen
On the anniversary of El Moncada, the genesis of the Cuban Revolution, I’m thinking of the Comandante Women who, though often left unsung, led and coordinated warfare strategy, safehouse networks, the Granma landing, and political education. Celia, Melba, Haydee, Vilma, presente!
The last point is often understated. Jews around the world have been participating in settler colonialism at higher rates since Oct 7th as well. The premise of settler colonialism is based on Jewishness and the myth of Jewish "diaspora" claiming biblical indigeneity to Palestine.
How is it ‘without Jewish consent’ when 89% of American Jews support the IDF and the invasion of Gaza? When 8 in 10 say genocidal Israel is ‘Essential to Jewish identity’? When a majority support the US funding the genocide? When 45,000 move to Israel as settlers each year?
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.
This is a crucial read.
Maybe instead of everyone pretending this is SOO far from reality, we could have an honest conversation about the sociopolitical conditions causing Latina’s domestic labor to be exploited in marriage. Surprise! Culture with world highest femicide rate produces submissive /thread
After 41 years in French prison, Lebanese struggler for Palestine Georges Ibrahim Abdallah was taken from Lannemezan prison to Paris at 3:30 am today. He is scheduled to arrive TODAY, at 2:20 pm, in Beirut Airport, as a FREE MAN after a life in struggle.
In Colombia, 40% of women are exclusively housewives and only 1% of men do housework. 50% of women don’t want this to change and 1/3 think its ok for husbands to hit wives. Calling your own mama a bitch for having an attitude about it proves my point about internalized misogyny!
Seconding this. I’m sitting here like what are you talking about and 90% of them still live in Colombia. They are stay at home wives & they still are bitchy asf when it comes to managing their homes & their husbands money.
me seeing all the woke gringos claim this is not a thing
documenting how Latinas both in the US and Latin America are deprived of personal aspirations, shrink their social life and ignore their health to be housewives. Furthermore, migrant latinas being forced to work as maids for the American bourgeoisie only exacerbates this relation
I understand it’s gross how gringos romanticize and fetishize the abuse of latinas, the solution isn’t to ignore this very real patriarchal norm. “NO REAL LATINA DOES THIS”. Baby, I’ve lived in 3 Latin countries. Yes, they do. Now let’s abolish the patriarchy that forces them to!
