even though that seems like “something to know “ about this murder and goes a long way toward explaining the “ special protection” the killer has received from cops and the media from the moment he finished choking the life out of Jordan Neeley in broad daylight and on video.

The media taking the estranged family of an adult as the authority on the true identity, beliefs and the meaning of that adult's actions and life posthumously is the worst nightmare of a great many queer adults, and happens all the time.
a person's family isn't always the best source for information on them, especially when the person is a 25-yr-old US airman who came into anarchism & became so committed to a free Palestine he self-immolated & he is from a family of Christian zionists.

This is absolutely my favorite bit of David Graeber’s writing to teach; it’s clear, the basic point is pretty world upending for many students, and, on another level it’s a beautiful and useful example of how bourgeois ideology works and comes to be, but also what it *does.*

The other thing about "cheating is abuse" and "worse than getting hit" is that abusers have been justifying their controlling surveillance , restricting movement , regularly beating and sometimes murdering their partners and exes over the fear/paranoia of being cheated on
people are allowed to feel what they want, but i do find the sentiment ‘i’d rather get hit than cheated on’ quite concerning. i think you’re assuming that ‘hit’ is a one-off, somehow unpainful blow that your partner begs forgiveness for for the rest of their life

Fun fact: when workers at the same company organize across sectors, including the most “skilled” and highest paid workers (often the most exploited in the Marxist sense) and the most oppressed, lowest-paid, that’s when workers have the most power and the best chance to win.

The teamsters union has a decades old reform caucus that fought the old guard to win teamster members the right to free and fair elections, pushed for new organizing and effective shop floor and strike action
"I stand with the working class of China against their authoritarian government"
