Trump is threatening war with Iran and Kamala Harris is silent. So is Gavin Newsom. And Pete Buttigieg. And JB Pritzker. And Chuck Schumer. And Hakeem Jeffries. And Josh Shapiro. And Cory Booker. Why? Because they all take money from AIPAC and Israel wants war with Iran.

ppl blaming phones bc phones are the devices showing us every atrocity in the world in real time. maybe it aint the phones, maybe it's the oppression. maybe ppl wouldn't be glued to screens if the predators weren't making everything in the world unsafe, unhealthy & unaffordable

Homelessness should make you uncomfortable, not because someone you don’t know is making you uncomfortable on a train for 20 minutes, but because we exist in a society that is so willing to let people suffer without any support system day after day until they die.

Please understand: these scientists have scanned white folks brains and the region responsible for empathy doesn’t easily activate for Black people. We’re talking about people who struggle to experience basic empathy for black people because of slavery and its afterlife

You say Jesus was crucified for you, but forget that your ancestors were hanged, burned alive, buried alive by people who preached the gospel of Jesus.

Another thing that people actually forget is that abortion is medical care. You may personally oppose it, but your religious convictions do not define public policy or other people’s lives. Christianity is not a universal standard, it’s a belief system that people choose to

One of the worst parts of childhood is when every behavior you exhibit is relegated to "having an attitude" or "being moody" while you watch adults act out however the fuck they want. Incredibly dehumanizing.

I hate how some people treat left-wing politics as a trend. Palestine is still not free. Sudan is still under one of the worst humanitarian crises we’ve ever seen along with Congo, ICE is still kidnapping, people are disappearing without a trace, the US government refuses to com-

Jokes are how misogyny is normalized.

the most insidious part of anti-Blackness is the bedrock belief that you are smarter than literally any Black person you encounter. including the Black people you follow because you supposedly respect our opinions. this is why I find myself blocking my own followers, weekly!

Every time I encounter a homeless person doing something unpleasant I simply take two seconds to think about how I get to go back to my house and forget about it while they are forced to endure that situation at all times because the world is cruel and unfair

Misogyny is not "lightly offensive jokes," it's enforcement, it's dehumanization, & male bonding for weak, conformist men. The insistence that women be good sports & go along with our dehumanization so men dont have to lose their facade of strength & patriarchal status is cringey

“She’s a hoe, she likes sex” THANK GOD for the choice to be one. In some places I would’ve been married off by 12, had the right to my body stolen from me, uneducated and a mother of multiple kids. Shoutout to the loud hoes before me and the louder ones that will come after me!

"A man free of patriarchy is a man who has found not only every woman's humanity, but one who has at last discovered his own. The true path to liberation for lonely men IS feminism—b/c pursuing an identity based on dominating others is self-isolating." the-reframe.com/fix-your-heart…

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices. They made physical media harder to buy and use. They removed expandable storage from phones. They pushed us into streaming subscriptions. They made always-online normal. They made unlimited internet necessary. Then slowly raised the price

This period of anti-Black resentment is not anomalous. It's historically the reaction to people looking around and being like "those Blacks are getting a bit uppity, ain't it?"

“locker room talk” is a euphemism for misogyny. the reason they wait til they’re in the boys locker room is because they already know what they’re saying is sexist.

I never understood the “you call yourself one, so why can’t we?” rhetoric because what people call each other is often contextual. Can I call your mom, “mommy” because you call her mommy? Can I call your boyfriend “baby” because you call him baby? Apply that to everything else

America has created a country full of real sociopaths. Power hungry citizens. They love blood and violence and war and cruelty. They crave it. They thrive on it. They love to hate and call it greatness. They love it when they bomb countries and kill people. They get excited

It still breaks my brain sometimes that a disturbingly high portion of America went from “that guy screamed a little too loud to be president!” to “well, is 15 really THAT young?” in less than a quarter of a century.
