This is how imperialists rationalize the US government’s destructive actions abroad. Telling fairy tales about democracy and “soft power” as they terrorize countries all over the global south 🤢
The US is far from perfect, but when its influence diminishes, worse actors fill in the gap - authoritarian regimes such as China and Russia. America's soft power, its image as a functioning democracy, took a major hit tonight & the world as a whole is poorer for it.

I guess it’s not surprising that so many Americans have such an ahistorical juvenile understanding of geopolitical issues around the world if this is the kind of analysis we get from our media
If you’re not convinced Pelosi being a woman is particularly triggering to the Chinese leadership, worth following

I hope no one actually takes this tweet seriously. This person has obviously not researched the origins of Latinx or other alternative spellings of Latino and is rationalizing their gender essentialism by making things up.

Tearing down our own in order to maintain the rigidity of a language that was forced on our ancestors is already suspect, but pretending that the push for non-gendered language came from "white liberals" is flat-out wrong.

Groups like the Zapatistas in Chiapas have been using alternative spellings of Latino for a while now. Those who aren't actually in tune with indigenous communities will try to convince you otherwise, they are wrong.

This is why news is dangerous with little historical context. Look at how the media has lionized protestors in Hong Kong while portraying Haitians as helpless rioters bound to forever live in a cesspool of corruption.

#NYTimes

Almost all systems of racism in the Americas are rooted in Anti-Blackness/Indigeneity. While "brown" folks do also face oppression under racist institutions they were not built specifically because of us, therefore to tear them down Black liberation must be centered.

"Sport is neutral" is laughable coming from the organization that forced poor Black folks out of their neighborhoods and bulldozed their homes in Brazil.
The Olympic Committee is banning protests at the 2020 Olympics.
It says "political, religious or racial propaganda" like armbands, kneeling or raising a fist will not be allowed at games or medal ceremonies because "sport is neutral."

It's especially ahistorical and malicious considering the fact that German Nazis themselves said that the eugenics movement started in the US was a huge inspiration for them. Systemic violence towards Black folks here preceded and sparked the holocaust in Europe in many ways.

Cubans have no personal freedoms. They couldn't own private property until a few years ago. They couldn't practice religion until ~2007. People with HIV/AIDS are quarantined.
