this is Niloufar Ghalevand, a professional athlete who coached pilates and yoga. She did not wear the veil. She was not killed by the IRGC or the Iranian police. She was killed in Israeli bombing on June 14th.

Was she "liberated" from the sexist Iranian government by that Israeli-American missile?

liberal moralists will always say "You can't praise Hamas, they're terrorists," moralists will say "You can't praise the IRGC, they're islamic," moralists will say "You can't praise the Black Panthers, they're sexist" because the status quo that created these movements is always inherently "moral"

moralists seek peace as dictated by the oppressor; I ask you, if not for Israel, would Hamas exist? If not for western imperialism, would the IRGC exist? if not for jim crow, would the BPP exist? YOUR peace created THEIR war. So shut the fuck up and let them fight, THEN you can critique their means

George W. Bush was the worst President of the last few generations and it's really not close. what we in the US are (rightly!) up in arms about is that Trump is the worst President for us, specifically - which is a different thing

Weird how the lonely alienated men never turn to community or labor organizing. Che. Black Panthers. Etc as good role models or showing them how to combat capitalist alienation. Showing them how to have a real positive pro social impact they can see with their eyes. Weird how no one mentions this

Theyโ€™re super nice. Every day a new story to tell. And the old folks here seem to love me for reasons I donโ€™t even think they can describe.

imagining time traveling to the early 00s and trying to explain to my precocious teen debater friends that the criticisms of the Nanny State that they engaged with so earnestly would culminate in armed officers making sure grown adults were using the right bathroom

One of the reasons Ukrainian flags in bio is so disgusting to me, personally.

The very Nazis who locked people inside of a burning building are the same ones spending your tax dollars on javelin missiles

I love how every liberal becomes the most useless civic scholar ever to throw away hard-earned tuition on a non-functioning limbic system the moment you criticize their Zionist-owned hand puppets in DC

On the other hand, โ€œWhy didnโ€™t you lift a finger to help end the genocide in Gazaโ€ probably wouldnโ€™t go so well

The moment I sat down to take this one, a middle-aged lady rolled up and photo-sniped me. Took off before I could ask her for her Weixin number so she could share it with me

Why Protests Should Be Promises Modern movements that aim to advance racial equity should withhold and promise, rather than perform, writes Olรบfแบนฬmi Tรกรญwรฒ

"...for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withholdโ€”labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer supportโ€”and to follow through if demands arenโ€™t met."

Hey all you Kamala lovers, what was that again about her advocating for a ceasefire? Looks like she forgot to tell Israel about it.
