The pretty things on our side of apartheid are not more sacred than the lives shredded by the machine that keeps the wall up. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

When talking about base and superstructure in Marxist analysis, I can’t think of a better example than car-centered American development: the toxic individualism of US culture has been cultivated and reinforced in infrastructure planning for 100 years, with the big auto and big oil at the wheel.

Perennial repost.

Being denied care is violence
Banning HRT is violence
Evictions are violence
Kids in cages is violence
Camp sweeps are violence
Police murders are violence
Israel and the US are violence

I’m still unlearning the hollow virtue of liberalism. A lot of it comes down to really simple, everyday contradictions, “nice but not kind”, such as in this photo.
