Not me though. I am pro Palestine. It’s free Palestine and land back over here. A ceasefire is not enough.

If you’re not angry, you literally just
Don’t know enough.

This is why I can’t get with the “the dark side to beauty is that it makes you prone to sexual abuse” narrative. Because when women who are not considered conventionally attractive report sexual abuse, no one believes them. And abusers know and exploit this.

layla I was so devastated yesterday learning about what’s happening in Tigray and Congo and Sudan right now. It’s horrific. I need to learn more about Haiti and West Papua today. The lack of attention to these countries is honestly gut wrenching.

layla And by too complicated, they mean 'we depend on them (DRC) for too much and I'm not willing to unpack my role in their suffering and advocate for a removal of the reliance on it'

the system you already question needs to be questioned a whole lot fucking more even if you're scared to acknowledge the c-word!

This is a really common question, probably because the library/author relationship can seem pretty opaque from the outside. But libraries do benefit authors! A lot! Here’s how-

Sixteenth, cops/media thus cherry-pick data. The result of this manipulation is one of the big scandals of our time: for decades the public has hugely overestimated crime rates: fivethirtyeight.com/features/many-…

Ninth, wage theft by employers isn't in crime stats b/c it is almost never investigated by cops, but it costs low-wage workers an estimated $50 billion/year, dwarfing the cost of all cop-reported robberies, burglaries, larcenies, and car thefts combined. twitter.com/equalityAlec/s…

Eighth, the same is true of water/air pollution and fraudulent home foreclosures, all of which cause huge death rates that kill far more people than what cops call homicides. nytimes.com/2009/09/13/us/…

A few years ago when the news said crime was 'surging,' I explained why huge expansion of police was not supported by any evidence. Luckily, Biden has failed each year with his 100,000 cops plan, but he's coming back for more during election season: twitter.com/equalityAlec/s…

Dental checkup yesterday. My dentist, as usual, asked how I'd been. Then expressed concern, about how ill I've been over 2023, into this year. How had I been? Did I think it was some form of LC etc? As we were chatting, I felt quite emotional. Someone - a health professional -

weak as fuck, just like Brown's 'victory'. again, these are demobilizing containment tactics. same kind of dead end bureaucratic bullshit they used to demobilize ppl during the george floyd uprising. not a victory. not a gain. don't fall for this shit.

ICE must be destroyed 🏴🏳️‍⚧️ i have bad news

many journalists who are ranting about a 'shoplifting surge' in Wallgreen's stores have been silent during the decades long wage-theft epidemic, which involves theft by rich people of about *10x more than all U.S. shoplifting combined* from people struggling to survive.

For example, cocaine, marijuana, and opium were each made illegal through specific political campaigns in order to give police more discretion to target specific racial minorities. (2)

I need to bring attention to something re: Toronto Police.

2 out of 3 of the last recent arrest warrants against pro-Palestine activists include charges against masks/facial coverings, During a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. TPS is laying charges for wearing MASKS.

hell yeah and look at all those mask wearing folks resisting eugenics locally and genocide globally!

this is not an immediate divestment!! this is still circumventing immediate responsibility using bureaucracy!!!
