regularly getting tags like this on my posts about horrific abuses wrt detentions and deportations by the trump administration and just to be clear. you are all baby brained. do you think every single one of the thousands of jackbooted thugs in dhs and ice were hired in the last 3 months. do you think nothing the democrats did had anything to do with leading us here. the road to hell is paved with lesser evils

"Hand Restraints and Black Out Goggles": Biden Administration Plans for Migrants Held at Guantanamo Bay Revealed

Documents show U.S. government has long used the controversial naval base to house and process refugees, contradicting public statements

report released in 2024 documenting louisiana ICE detention centers under biden 2022-2024, same ones currently being used to disappear migrants and pro-palestine political dissidents by the trump admin now:

everything in this post i made 8 months ago about biden & harris admin policies and harris's proposed policies during her campaign when she bragged that she would be tougher on the border than trump. of course you cannot beat trump at this but the fact is she tried to claim that she did as vp and would as president in order to court centrists and moderate republicans, like many democrats last cycle she ran by trying to outflank republicans on the right and in doing so moved the overton window so far that you had liberals happily cheering for border police on stage at the dnc. if you refuse to acknowledge that that is in any way connected to what is happening right now? that democrats also condemning student activists because of their defense of palestine and calling militarized police in to brutalize them for over a year was a direct line to this? that the fact of the palestine exception causing democratic leadership to fail abysmally to respond to early abductions by the trump admin bc they agreed with those disappearances ideologically just at most not in procedure is the very reason those activists were among the first most high profile targets? there's a reason fascists target those people first! because you will blink when it's time to defend them! it's in the fucking poem!! my god

my somewhat unpopular opinion is that "famous story retold from female character's pov" is a good concept, actually. it's just that it became gimmicky very fast and spawned a storm of lazy works that refuse to engage with the source material in any meaningful way and flanderize everything into generic YA tropes. but at its core taking a known story and exploring it through the perspective of a female character even, and perhaps especially, when said character is not a particularly active agent on said story, is a way to remind people that women are still people with rich inner lives and that the real life women that we learned to think as pawns in the lives of men were/are still humans whose complex interiority deserve exploration on principle that everyone, but especially the people who live on the margins, deserve exploration. but that's a concept that gets defeated when most people writing those lazy retellings can't write complex interiority to save their lives.

What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?

“I’m sorry Scott. I’m sorry. It’s not supposed to be like this. The bite is meant to be a gift. I can’t fix this, but you’re strong, and I’ll be here to help you get through it.”

male supremacists of color are not handling the exposure of the 4B movement and south asian feminism(s) very well, in light of the kolkata victim and the sexual and physical abuse of south korean women and girls. they are very anxious about the global female solidarity occurring online. male supremacists of all races harbor anxiety over losing control of “their women” due to feminist consciousness, and all male supremacists accuse “their women” of being race traitors for not upholding their ideal form of patriarchy. colonized women can criticize white men for male violence, because colonized men do not want to be controlled by them either, but we must not criticize the men who share our colony for enforcing misogynistic repression. colonized men want to claim their rightful property, without white male influence. their ideal world is one where the yoke of imperialism is abolished, where they are granted freedom from physical and sexual abuse, but the status of women remains intact. they want women to be obedient, because complaining about misogyny makes colonized men appear weak in front of white men. they are right to complain about women of color “emasculating” them for being feminists. to them, “emasculation” occurs when they are denied their right to claim us as property, when they, too, are denied control. don’t fall for these manipulations. their misogyny is not more benevolent, their victimization doesn’t preclude them from patriarchal social control, don’t allow them to make you silently wait in line. either we’re all free, or no one is. 🫡

some of y'all really need to re-examine what the word racist means because it's not always just "loud and proud white supremacist intentionally causing harm". sometimes it's "otherwise 'nice' person acting on internalized racial biases that they refuse to examine".

like my god the second "racist" gets dropped in a conversation some of you completely shut down under the weight of all your white fragility and refuse to listen to or act upon any criticism of your harmful actions, however intentional or unconscious they may be, and it's honestly pathetic. grow the hell up. learn to be uncomfortable in discussions about racism or you're never going to become better.
