You just keep that shit to yourself. Now ain’t the time, baby
I feel like I still need to remind y’all:
If you see someone messing around near an ice, police, or military vehicle and they don’t seem like they’re police, ice, or military….no you fucking didn’t

They’ve spent sooooo much time focused on pedos, despite supporting a known sex pest, and now they’re just starting to get hit with the idea that T is openly pedo. I want to watch these conversations

☕😏 ... what they're desperately trying not to see or acknowledge is the underlying exploitative colonial social material attitude which is also feeding their identities, status, & privileges on the harm they're witnessing,,

☕😏 ... how little
is expected of us;

how little
we're expected to be,,
... who taught you
that you were so small
& powerless? 🤷🏼‍♂️

- & these people 'holding space'
with you by keeping you
in this small & powerless place,

you think these people
are your friends?

you think that's an act
of care,
an act of love?

... really? 🤌🏼👀

hey, look at you

just standing there
& witnessing
these horrors
being visited upon
all these unfortunate others

which is feeding you ...

you're so brave;
so powerful,, 🙃🫠🤌🏼👀🐒

🍵😏 being raised to accept feeding yourself & loved ones to people profitting off your suffering & shortened lives is a deep betrayal by those who taught us to accept it

& a deep betrayal of ourselves
to accept,
which i believe most of us feel
at some level,
even if we don't clearly comprehend it,,
🍵😏 on a more thoughtful note
i think this state of subjugation
& exploitation we're socialized & indoctrinated
to accept as civilized & good

along w/ the terrible harm
it's done globally
over literal generations

is deeply violent;

the expectation we shouldn't
react is a facet of that violence,,

One of the reasons I stopped watching baseball, which I still find fun and cool. It’s Monopoly money, and it celebrates the greedy motherfuckers and puts owners up as untouchables when they suck ass
Rich teams already pay a shit ton in revenue sharing to teams like the Pirates, Marlins, etc., whose owners pocket the money instead of spending it on players because capitalism.

Then they gaslight their fans into being mad at owners willing to spend or players for being “greedy.”

Come on, guys.
A lot of people On Here who don’t know anything about the economics of baseball are being loud and wrong about the need for a salary cap.

Very strange to see a bunch of so-called progressives cape for billionaire owners crying poverty instead of supporting a labor union.

In 1971, corporate attorney Lewis Powell drafted a memo urging Big Business to mobilize for political combat against consumer, labor, and environmental groups.

That roadmap kicked off the corporate takeover of modern American politics. Watch. https://youtu.be/bbbgfnpJN9w?feature=shared

“launched a postdoctoral fellowship for Israeli scientists at Harvard Medical School”

Wait this is legal but not the Harvard Women’s Center? Not the BGLTSA spaces? Not the spaces for Black students? But they can have a fellowship that is functionally Jews only?

so many vox on old Trax joints are so off-pitch, like 1/4 tone or more. i would absolutely demix, re-tune and remaster old house 12”s w/pitchy vox at a steep discount just to make them listenable.

A white guy like me of a certain privilege who has tried to do
Anti-poverty work might start to think: “if it isn’t fixed, it’s gonna get so bad we can’t fix it.”
But for a non-white, indigenous or formerly enslaved person, that’s a stupid thing to say. It’s been bad since jump under this system

My principal at the school where I was teaching got emails bc I asked kids just to wait a few days to condemn “Hamas” for bombing their own hospital. They told us they were doing a g-cide before they even started.
Yeah this is how people are going to justify punishing people for being right too early
This take is so weird because you could read the intent from the strikes within the first week even if you thought the rhetoric was just fluff. It was nakedly genocidal before the ground troops moved in
