You are under no obligation to "embrace struggle" w/ "gratitude."

If simplistic bootstrappy bullsh*t worked for trauma recovery, I'd be the first to embrace it. But in most survivors it does nothing but scrape up shame & cringe.

It’s in the interests of almost everyone in the world that the US empire not be permitted to redraw the map of the Middle East precisely as it wishes. Imperial victory today will mean decades of darkness for humanity at least, even for most of those cheering it on.

I think you can worry about American Islamophobia without minimizing American antisemitism. People literally shoot up synagogues in this country, it’s not an imaginary problem or a matter of microaggressions against bourgeois knowledge workers, which is how I see fellow leftists describing it

Radical Optimism is not "hope", it is knowing that every action towards a better world will eventually see it come to fruition. If not for me, then for those that come after me.

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

Alex Pretti was a nurse who tried to help a woman attacked by a federal officer. They killed him for it.
