Paulo Freire wrote, ‘it is in the interest of the oppressor to weaken the oppressed’.
And it is our imperative to counteract that weakening.
To counteract recrudescent hegemony, we need science that serves human liberation.

Since İCĘ can now raid hospitals…

Today's a hard one.
For so many of us (brown, Black, LGBTQIA+, trans, poly, disabled, women, undocumented, incarcerated, you name it...) today is rough.
Today marks the consummation of an unholy union between religion and political power.
5 thoughts, from growing up in the Evangelical church.

If you go to a Wicked showing and start singing they should be allowed to beat you with popcorn bags. Them babies came to hear Ariana Grande and Cynthia Eviro, not Pam from the community theater troupe. GROW UP.
