more on savarna feminism here: feminisminindia.com/2023/11/30/i...
Screenshot of graphic with black confetti foregrounded by text that reads, " SAKHI x NASDAQ: Join us for this historic moment." Below the graphic, text reads, "Dear Heena, Join us as Sakhi makes history today. We're excited to share that Sakhi for South Asian Survivors will be ringing the NASDAQ Closing Bell this afternoon, and we would love for you to join us virtually."
lmao what the fuck.
sakhi is run by cis upper caste wealthy Indian women & has no analysis of class, caste, gender, capitalism, power. it has consistently pushed out & harmed its workers who have critiqued the savarna feminism that operates in every facet of the org.
but yay visibility ππ½
Weaving our Worlds has compiled resources and diverse left perspectives from and on Iran. Rather than reduce Iran to various intra-left ideological debates, these provide analysis based in the context, specificity and history.

βHow many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984
Itβs not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after. Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own governmentβs repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.
I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.
Sahar Delijani said it best:
the UN can't even hold Israel accountable. thanks for the panel tho
π―! I've also seen disability spaces that don't even have COVID precautions! all of this just reveals how these people have a very narrow view of what constitutes access or even disability, despite being able to name all the DJ theory and buzzwords π«
honestly ive been activated for weeks from the recent epste*n developments. restless sleep, incessant dysregulation. most discourse still doesn't center survivors, & in fact feels like voyeuristic consumption. i am TIRED. solidarity with SA & CSA survivors today & all the damn days β€οΈβπ©ΉπΏ
Various styles of compression gloves
Happy Black History Month!
It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale.
These compression gloves are great quality and have helped so many people reduce their hand pain and swelling. It allows them to do things longer!

love benito but really hate how this is rehabilitating the NFL's image!! i don't have much hope of political protest on that stage tbh
Correctly observing that state systems are being captured & used to subvert & suppress opposition is not βdoomerism.β That shit is simply pertinent information.
yesss i was thinking about AOC too!
i'm just surprised at how i'm surprised at leftists / socialists whatever who are like... doing their equivalent of going back to brunch lmao (which i guess is... also brunch)
it's hard not to agree with the sentiment that zohran's highest purpose lies in reigniting the faith of young progressives in the democratic party
what if zohran supporters didn't reflexively defend this & actually consider real material concerns that folks have about hochul!!
folks would rather give their fave politicians the benefit of the doubt rather than honestly wrestle with how putting all their eggs in electoral politics is a setup
Shared this on insta & will share here too. If youβre not in the ME or Long Covid communities youβre likely unaware of just how often we have to watch young people die.
βFor weeks, Democrats have pushed to require ICE agents to obtain the necessary judicial warrants ahead of any murders they plan to commit,β House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a joint statement on the current Homeland Security funding bill
The public trust that runs Hudson River Park is making money renting space to ICE to park its kidnapping vans on Pier 40.

Today @thesicktimes.org: "Having a doctor who is willing and available to engage with survival admin makes the difference between being able to access necessities and going without, and can be the only lifeline against neglect."

" If you know someone who has been detained and released by ICE, our REBUILD Program provides FREE therapy to help them regain stability and support." www.darknessrisingproject.org/help-me-find...
We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it.
Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit π§΅

After Biden commuted the sentences of 37 men on federal death row last year, the Trump administration is retaliating by sending them to the supermax. Prisoners are locked in cells smaller than a parking space 22-24 hours a day.
One prisoner told me he fears he won't make it out alive.
My latest:
oh disabled people in wheelchairs? great DJ is done for the year
*zooms into photos* nope not a single mask at the disability justice roundtable!
