has the phrase "there have to be consequences" ever been used except in the service of justifying unreasonable cruel bullshit?

My rant against the OECD (amongst others) and their perpetuation of a single model of emotional competency valid across all cultural contexts. Solution?

Anarchist News: **Is Elon Musk an Anarchist? More like a Libertarian Lenin**

"by William Gillis, via C4SS Elon Musk is trolling on twitter. A celebrity billionaire wasting his time making inane provocations would hardly be worthy of note but in the process Musk has declared that his politics are in line with Iain Banks’ anarcho-transhumanist utopia …"

It seems obvious that Israel is now a regime with no respect for individual liberties or human decency. Why does the US support them?

Oh yeah, right....

p.s. And why is the US this way? White supremacy culture. It's why we can't have nice things. "More than just People of Color's problem since 1620."

Hey witches! I need your help. I’m flying for the first time ever on Thursday and I’ll be in California for three weeks. How uh.. how do I pack my witchcraft shit without seeming suspicious. What crystals are safe to go on planes? Is there a difference between what’s allowed in carry-on and what can go in your regular luggage? I don’t plan to take my WHOLE altar or anything but i definitely can’t leave without a few essentials.

apparently the u.s. congress is once again considering a bill to classify criticism of israel as antisemitism. this is, of course, more ridiculous even than ever before. whether it's sebastian gorka or steve bannon, antisemites are israel's best friends nowadays.

The most that a working-class party could do, even if its politicians remained honest, would be to form a strong faction in the legislatures which might, by combining its vote with one side or another, win certain political or economic palliatives.

Look it's almost the 4th of July. Your president is gonna go way too far, and y'all gotta burn something down. Want fireworks? Start with your state buildings. Like, you can't just hope lord Christ Mueller is going to save the day. Your magical midterms aren't the answer because no one even votes!

Scare your elected officials! Make them realize they aren't untouchable!

trump is a symptom, not an anomaly. the US has a long and continuing history of slavery and genocide that it has never seriously confronted. it underpins our governing institutions, who love their power but hate thinking about how they got it. they have never put in the work to evict fascism. rather they have fostered it when useful and downplayed it when embarrassing. faced with their legacy in broad daylight, even the elected opposition cannot bring itself to oppose fascism.

RT @ArielleSwernoff@twitter.com Members of ICE should be outed and ostracized. Hassled at restaurants, malls, when they pick their kids up from school, etc. You should not be able to be a part of the machine separating children from their families and clock out for a peaceful evening.
