If a leftist politician’s message has resonance, it’s because countless people (outside of elections and campaigns) have worked together to create a shared understanding of their conditions. Left politicians use these *already existing* conditions to attain office. They DO NOT create them!

I’m a stubborn cranky anarchist about every single elected official and always will be. I got shit for it when AOC first won office and time has only ever validated my position. Every politician is there to co-opt your power and energy: that’s their role in the system.

How'd this go?

they want to use sex as a social practice (of domination, but not the fun kind) to shape the world in specific ways, toward the ends of cis male supremacy, white supremacy, patriarchy, the state, and capitalism. they want to be the only ones who are allowed to use sex.

it's a mistake to use framing in which "sex = good, no sex = bad," because this is also framing that benefits rape culture. sex is neutral, it is not even really one definable "thing" but a cluster of social and interpersonal practices of desire, bodily interaction, and yes sometimes power

I can dm you some from some writers I trust if you'd like!

I'm sure the title made sense to whatever you were using it as a reaction to but important to know this book is pretty famous for being abuse apologia

T.T

can’t afford respirators/don’t know what the options are? find your local mask bloc and ask if they have the variety you want or any trial packs.

have a few extra bucks? go donate to them. A good amount, including the LA bloc, are giving out masks at ICE protests as well.

it’s mutual aid

“To say "the situation must not become violent" is to suggest that an endless string of state-sponsored murders of citizens by police does not represent a violent situation; that the application of violence so far has been appropriate, or at least undisruptive to the normal order.”
