“My advice for your health may principally consist in encouraging you to allow your recollection of suffered injustice to dissolve & disappear.”

Hegel’s need for her to get over her pain, to let go of the past, & her lifelong refusal, her staying in the past & making those injustices ever present.

Derrida includes a letter from Hegel to his sister (she was forcibly institutionalized), documenting her refusal to let her suffering & the injustices done against her to be ignored:

“In your letter to me you found it necessary for your self-justification to return to so much that is painful.”

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

besides just being blatantly cruel, it’s strategic.

Place fear in undocumented communities. Make sure they are cut off from gaining an education and gaining critical thinking/literacy skills.

It’s evident that the nationwide goal is to put up barriers or downright deny nonwhite people access to an education.

a phrase I’m enamored by, pulled from Derrida’s writing on Hegel:

“unexampled generosity”

a generosity without prior example, unbounded in generousness—to give that to someone, to make them feel that “unexampled generosity.”

reading a new translation of Derrida’s Glas—a book that remains confoundingly perfect.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

Starting a war for some unhinged Christo-fascist plan to bring the end times???

I—

I’m sorry WHAT!?!?

All the students in this country who need more time/attention from their teachers.

Yet their teachers must split their time/labor working elsewhere, just making ends meet.

A system where student and teacher loses. Designed in such a way on purpose by those in power.

thinking of all the students I’ve had through the years who became K-12 teachers.

Who deserve to be resourced, and properly supported, yet we live in a country that continuously diminishes the important work they do.

A country that actively defunds and devalues education.

there’s enough money to fund wars but apparently not enough to fund our educators & education system.

We must stand against U.S. imperialism.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

Repeatedly watching how she pulls the mic away when he speaks on private equity & I can't stop thinking about the way that our employment system forces people into craven cowards that have to do real-time self-preservation calculus that results in actions that conflict entirely with class solidarity
