The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

I need you all to remember this as well...that bluesky actively assisted in ethnically cleansing Palestinians

Israeli settlers continue to wage war on Palestinians in the West Bank and elsewhere. They are breaking into people's homes, stealing their stuff, trashing their homes and sometimes kidnapping and killing people. This is happening NOW. People should know this.

“You’re always playing the race card”

Anyone who says this has no idea how power dynamics work.

Race is not a card I can play. It is a hand I’m dealt.

This is straight up colonialism.

The translations we're hoping to fund for a Black small press are:
- A story about a Black trans woman in South Africa.
- A story about a Black woman in Zimbabwe who deals with the corruption of the men around her.
- A story about three Black men in Tanzania who must grapple with masculinity.

carter jackson rightly points out that when someone is drowning, they'll kill you for trying to save them. stepping back, waiting for the drowning person to lose consciousness so it is safe to save them is precisely how we win (or survive) this moment.

fuck this im going to doula school

the other half of this that I've never really gotten over: this all but explicitly amounts to valorizing being "asleep". people are really out here wielding "I have no idea what's going on, historically speaking" as a credential

Update: Paul Dama was released from immigration detention on Thursday night! This is him and his sister Cecelia
