The lives of white settlers are not more sacred than the lives of the colonized.
The deaths of white settlers are not more tragic than the deaths of the colonized.
"I'm no mother if i'm silent while children are slaughtered every day. Free Palestine"
free palestine
To all my "Free Palestine" comrades, don't give them a fkn inch. Continue to speak out and don't let them sidetrack you with this latest story. They talking about nuking children but want you to condemn 2 assholes being bonkai'd to shut you up. You're allowed to ignore that bs.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
It's still Free Palestine, from the river to the sea, today and every day until Palestine is free.
Hey a great way to start organzing and protect your community is to wear an N95 or better as were in a "quademic." No one is saving you if you become disabled. Community organizing regularly leaves disabled people for dead. Actively pursue anti-ableist organaizing.
I've seen a lot of people in the US talk about community today. But very few know what that means. Community isn't just you and your friends. It includes disabled people and other marginalized groups. It's masking and taking precautions to protect others. It's caring for others!
My response below to Qs for this article on “Private Schools Group Apologizes After Claims of Antisemitism at Event” in which my talk was one that made four Jewish students feel threatened bc I used the word genocide. Let’s unpack since they gave ADL the last word. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/15/n...
Following in the vein of my last thread, it is not okay for non-Natives to use the Trail of Tears or any of the atrocities we faced as Native people as punchlines or as comparison for things like leaving X. It is disrespectful and anti-Native as hell.
chronic back pain genuinely makes you feel murderous on the worst days. i’m not joking.
It's been interesting witnessing this outpouring of empathy for chronic pain (& how it changes you), from people who have never had a lick of empathy for people in their actual lives suffering from pain.
Be there for the people in your life who have chronic pain, too.
its now day 4 or 5 of having chest pain/tightness and breathing issues. no improvement or other symptoms, and it seems the worst at night :/
Chronic pain has definitely shaped who I am. For me it started with a wrist injury when I was 14 which spread and worsened overtime. 8 years later I'm still in pain constantly. It took a lot away from me. I don't believe you could experience it and not have it impact you as a person.
the same people who weeks ago were dragging disability activists who criticized that DSA photo for a lack of masks r now experts on how disability/ chronic pain can radicalize a person lol
I completely understand having chronic back pain and feeling the urge to murder someone over it. Haven’t been paying attention to any news lately
I fully support luigi. Chronic pain changes you. Its hell being in a body that automatically hurts.
Important to recognize that even internet douchebags have had it with being fucked by the health insurance industry and chronic pain.
Gonna be a lot of focus on what kind of internet douchebag this guy is but in some ways this backs up the other theories: a person who has been fucked by the health insurance industry and is suffering with chronic pain.

"the Claims Adjuster was a mentally ill man with chronic back pain! and he liked pokemon!"
i hate to give the ruling class any tips, but this makes him more, not less relatable
All I’m going to say (because I’m in too much pain to expound) is that chronic pain can destroy your ability to support yourself, and the realization there is no safety net is quite radicalizing.
It's difficult to convey just how much chronic pain can upend your life. When I still had my uterus, my period pain was so bad that I once begged my spouse to kill me. Adenomyosis is worse than childbirth, according to those who've known both. I barely slept for days.
One conversation I’ve heard repeated is that chronic pain “makes you crazy” and “lose your mind” and while I understand that feeling (deeply) I think it’s important for us to distinguish that most of us with chronic pain whose mental health has been severely impacted don’t go out and shoot people.
All the ableds saying “oh well the shooter is rich so he could obviously afford insurance” is an “oh my sweet summer child” moment from chronic pain sufferers.
if you have chronic pain in this country, you know what it is to be utterly abandoned by the medical profession and the insurance industry.
as a chronic pain patient, there is no one willing to even listen to you, let alone ready and willing to help you alleviate that pain.
*Hears that Luigi Mangione was a chronic pain sufferer with debilitating back problems*
Me, a chronic pain sufferer and advocate: ...... Yeah, that'll do it.
