Some USians have been cognizant of how violent US empire is and has been. I was told I was being hysterical warning about unchecked police power, etc. We did not suddenly arrive here and some of us saw this coming.
Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

Reading the Maduro “indictment” I’m suddenly reminded of WHY Gitmo existed and Obama didn’t shut it down.
It’s because you can’t KIDNAP people, based on “evidence” you violated rights to obtain, and bring them to trial in U.S. courts.

“Irony” isn’t nearly a strong enough word
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

It's uncomfortable to unpack your privilege, but it's more uncomfortable to be oppressed. Most white people can't manage the relatively minor discomfort of coming to terms with whiteness in order to ease the burden on the oppressed. It's pretty pathetic.

This policy is racist.
*And* transnational adoption into the US is a dying industry that has always been rooted in white saviorism, evangelicalism, predation, lies, and the exploitation geopolitical conflict or natural disaster.

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.
Adopting.
Babies.
What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

A central motif throughout the drug panics has been the specter of predatory drug dealers forcing innocent young white girls into sexual slavery. Swap out “scary young Black guy” with “old rich white man” and suddenly there’s no urgency.

I'm 45 and my voting experience has been SCOTUS throwing an election to Bush, a couple Obama terms, and the Trump era.
Screaming, crying, throwing up as I realize that the very youngest person who voted in a Presidential election where Trump wasn't a candidate is now 31 years old.
I mean we now have people entering their 30s whose whole political lives have been defined by this man and his acts. It’s not a small generation and while he might have skated on COVID amnesia I think they’ve cooked that out of the body politic by now.

Greg Bovino is back in Chicago, and ICE has been spotted in the Evanston area.
The best way to keep our loved ones safe is to alert the community whenever possible. Whistles are one of the most accessible tools to warn neighbors and disrupt ICE incursions.
Come pick up a whistle, if you need one!

When 13 was exploring the world as a preschooler he said ‘All boys have a penis.’ I said ‘Most boys have a penis’ and he nodded and repeated me definitively. I thought our 1st talk about gender non essentialism went well.
“How do I explain trans people to my kids”
mate, what are you explaining? “Kids, this is Mr Jay, would you like to wave or fistbump or shake hands?”
what is there to explain beyond “here’s a person”

A long time ago on Twitter or Tumblr someone described Jewish holidays as "they tried to kill us and failed, let's eat".
I can't help but think today about how the failures to kill the community still often end in dead bodies of individuals. In blood on the ground and mourning.

We library folk do a good job talking about all the free services we offer, but I don’t see many of us talking about how libraries are one or the only places where you can use services without being advertised to.

The Democrats are Republicans for people who think they aren’t Republicans.
They know they would win easily if they embraced radicalism, but that’s also risks people unifying in the way Fred Hampton envisioned.
And the worst fear of every US politician and industrialist is social unity.

Leftism is the democrats' boogeyman & scapegoat for why they never win, but actually leftism's what they need, which they realize at times when they appropriate radicalism. Equitable distribution of resources & collective care that counters capitalism is what everyone's screaming for from them.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
