I feel like the point of thinking of self care as a radical act is that it’s about getting back to a point where you can get back out there and keep fighting, not just ceasing all activism entirely in favor of the self. But many people think it’s the latter.

As US rhetoric about Iran heats up, let’s remember what Gayatri Spivak said about the self-justifying rhetoric of colonization: “white men saving brown women from brown men.” Rescuing women is just a mask for seizing power, land, and resources.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.

The JCPOA was one of the greatest diplomatic achievements of the 21st century. Multiple nations, several powerful blocks, a ton of oversight and the entire time diplomats were working it out domestic American media & politicians were demonizing it, lying about it, and trying to sabotage it. They won

The delusion of those in the imperial core. The most dangerous country on the global stage is the United States, which feels it and the countries under its umbrella can act with impunity, bombing and killing their way through the world. The days of the US acting however it wants must end.

the reason these trucks look “silly” is that they have large windshields and a low hood, which increases visibility and reduces risk to pedestrians. trucks like this should look normal and F-150s should be the silly ones
