the phrase "contact your senator" is a bit like "pray to god for help"

"do you have thoughts of harming others?" is not a valid question for mental health screening.. you should be thinking about harming the bourgeoisie and the class traitors who keep them in power

the worse climate disaster gets, the more you’ll see closet eugenicists start to advocate for letting people die. you need to be prepared to combat the ideology wherever you see it, because it’s only going to get worse and worse Read everything having to do with climate disaster critically. If the central argument underlying what’s being said is that the death of disabled and/or racialized people is inevitable, natural, or desirable– that’s a fascist.

they might be appear to be a garden variety republican or liberal or even a leftist at first, but know that if that argument is being made, their underlying ideology is one of supremacism, and given additional climate stress, they will become more blatant about it.

when you talk shit about drug addicts who aren’t “functioning members of society” you are talking shit about disabled people. this is not up for debate.

spotted some infighting in the cis community... apparently a lot of the men there have some really nasty views on cis women!

disabled people who do not directly "contribute" to society and need large amounts of care and resources to survive deserve not only to survive but to have comfort, stability, and fun within their lives while they do. no compromises.

The thing that separates "alligator alcatraz" from other detainment centers is the pride being taken in it, the openness about what's going to happen there, the merch. The actual interior of the building and the conditions under which detainees will suffer are not different than other ICE detention facilities

The escalation represented by alligator Alcatraz isn't an escalation in the abuse, its an escalation in the scale at which the abuse is inflicted and in the sense of safety fascists feel when openly celebrating the abuse being inflicted

“I look at the mess of Brexit, the calamity of Trump, and the insidious xenophobia that connects Europe and the United States, and I wonder: The idea of Europe is imploding because it has now hit its most central paradox —it was built by robbing the world and building its own confidence—and now the world is coming back to rob it of its delusions of power. Europe colonized the world territorially and its own disjointed history temporally. It narrated itself backward to Plato and Aristotle and Alexander and Rome as it conquered for itself a planet to rob of its own multiple worlds. Europe was an illusion that soon made itself forget what it was, and now the refugees are bringing back its own repressed memories. Those refugees are the liberating forces of Europe, bringing it back to the bosom of humanity, hard as they resist and despise them.”

Structural violence creates lopsided structures of the imagination. Those on the bottom of the heap have to spend a great deal of imaginative energy trying to understand the social dynamics that surround them—including having to imagine perspectives of those on the top—while the latter wander about largely oblivious to much of what is going on around them. That is, the powerless not only end up doing most of the actual, physical labor that is required to keep society running, they also do most the interpretive labor as well.

How come when birds sing everyone thinks it is “cute” and “beautiful” but when I climb up a tree and shout about how horny I am and how I’m looking for a mate it is “obscene” and I am “banned from the park”?
