Very interesting that men get to live their political lives and abuse against women is just a tiny stain. Carceral logics are being abusive towards women and gnc ppl and silencing those who want better in order to maintain the legacy of few selective men
I’m always so amazed by criticisms of people like Malcolm X, Che Guevara and more from people who act like someone’s history needs to be squeaky clean to be respected. Or as if place for growth doesn’t exist within people, it’s this carceral logic every time

He was inspired by California’s project of eugenicism which included the sterilization of mostly women of color, people with disabilities etc. specifically tied to immigrant populations of Mexican and Chinese women. CA is a hot bed for fascism and it gets a pass bc it’s blue
Hitler was directly and openly inspired by the colonization of the Americas. His favorite books were "wild west" books. He viewed the founding fathers of the US as the first nazis. Eugenics was even invented in America by Kellogg the breakfast cereal guy.

The language of Mexican hegemony came from Oaxacan conversations about how the settler state abandons us for modernity. Oaxacan indigenous organizing isn’t unique to this generation. Ppl are anti-indigenous and anti-black across settler nations.
Maybe more folks will accept that Mexico is a settler nation when this generation of local and diasporic indigenous youth organize critical mass to heighten these realities.

Renters don’t cause gentrification, capital does. Blaming your neighbors for moving where they can afford is like blaming water for flowing downhill. Developers and real estate barons are the ones pricing us out. Eyes on the prize.

It’s because the project of Latinidad is to erase Blackness and consider indigeneity as a relic of the past. Latine representation aspires towards the white gaze
“it’s also why it’s not surprising to me that it took U.S. Black entertainment, not Latine media, to tell dignified stories of Indigeneity in a major motion picture.”

Ahh yess bc they think they have the skills to run a successful OF that yields as much as a professor salary. Sex work is always seen as unskilled and just because it’s online doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous
I’ve had two female professors confide in me that they have fantasies of leaving academia & starting an onlyfans instead for more money, better work-life balance, & less exploitation—& I don’t know y’all, the way they framed it made a lot more sense than the joke should.

She has every right to be upset that her paywalled content is being stolen and shared. Stealing pornographic content in any capacity is a violation of consent, it doesn’t matter that it’s a hazard of the job. I hope she has the resources to try to fight it because many don’t.
