Yvette Cooper- Proscribe the IDF
The "IDF" has repeatedly carried out large-scale, deliberate acts of violence against civilians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

What makes a person white? Literally not being Black or anything close to Black. Getting as far away from Black as possible. Extra points if you're blonde. Even more if you have blue eyes. Minus points for curly hair... Too close to kinkly coils.
Exactly.
Exactly.

Everything makes sense when you understand that racism is how white people bond with each other and have nothing in common without it.

Keeping trans women out of public life means Keeping Black women out of public life! because Black women are constantly denied cis-ness because cis is based on ideas of femininity that are rooted in white supremacy
Having a uterus isn't enough if you're Black

Transphobia and racism are two sides of the same coin: cis white people want to be able to put everyone in boxes based solely on first impressions and implicit biases and rather than challenging their preconceptions, they want reality to warped to match them.

YOU don't determine your gender, neither do your internal organs. Gender determination is in the judgemental gaze of the one looking at you. And what that gaze sees is through the lens of whiteness & patriarchy.
Self-determination must be for all or no one has it.

UPDATE: Secret Service agents — not ICE — were denied entry at a Chicago school despite initial CPS reports, a CPS source said.
Secret Service agents were looking for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, the source said. https://buff.ly/3EatFDz

So now we have from NHS figures 3 million in the UK with long covid. Our government and the last has failed hugely in messaging. Making out this is a mild virus. We are sinking the economy. When will they act? When we have 6 or 7 million. Time to wake up @uklabour

That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?
That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

[PROMPT DING] What stands between you and the care you need?
We can understand capitalists as hoarders of care and caretaking hoarders who coerce us into begging and pleading for time to play, rest, heal from illness, and tend to loved ones in need of care. The threat of financial deprivation and loss of livelihood is constantly held over our heads,
keeping us from giving and receiving the care we want, need, and deserve.
03:23
The American dream for many is to have a surplus of time to care for ourselves and the people in our lives. In this quest, it is all too common for some people to be transformed into greedy hoarders who are never satisfied no matter how much they
have. It's not enough to be able to care for themselves and their loved ones. They become obsessed with preventing the rest of us from being able to do the same, acting like babies feeding from the teat of the labor class until we have
nothing left for ourselves.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2hsdew2hl2raica6pjx2mmpv/bafkreidy5sbsrupwezkfux3cszamdklhqlagxiqz47ftyhm5c4x7szmttq@jpeg)
