You’ve got to give Georgia one thing as a parent. She doesn’t seem to have ever put her kids in the position of having to parent her.

#ginny and georgia #i get why it gets compared to gilmore girls #because single mom got pregnant as a teenager raises a teenager #and it makes that one tiny reference #but its also nothing like gilmore girls #in terms of its actual dynamics #and major themes #its more like little fires everywhere #racial politics #gender politics #fear and aggression #the running life #i'll write an actual post about all that sometime

This thread is incredibly important to read.

It is also extremely difficult to read. I don't know if I need to point this out, but the document itself is obviously full of bigotry so please take care of yourself if you choose to read it. Antisemitic phrases like "cultural marxism" and "global elites" appear before the document even really gets rolling, and are mixed in with transphobia, racism, and more.

If you want a taste of how this document starts in the first main section about "The Family", here is a taste:

"This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists."

It is all bad. ALL of this document is bad, and dangerous, and threatens the lives and the safety of everyone living in this country.

The real conspiracy is that you can track all drug legislation in the US to like -there was this crazy depressing documentary about it- that drug policy is linked inexorably throughout our history to racial politics. So if you have a lot of Chinese labor in your country opium becomes illegal because there’s a culture to this drug that they bring in with them, it’s something they’re using that they brought with them. You make it illegal so you’re effectively making it possible to kick in their door anytime you want or do anything you want. That drug policy has always made a handy leash on any group we’ve wanted to have extra power over. — Dan

Review: Blood Betrayal

Review: Blood Betrayal by Ausma Zehanat Khan from Minotaur Books #mystery #police #race #procedural

Fiction allows readers to get inside the lives of other people. It allows us to practice empathy because we can learn about experiences that we’ll never have. For example, I, a white male, will never be harassed by the police in the way that a black man will be. I, an engineer, will never have to determine in split seconds whether the thing in someone’s hand is a weapon meant to kill me like a…

disturbed by the number of times i've seen the idea that calling gaza an open-air prison is not okay because "that implies that gazans have done something wrong", the subtext being unlike those criminals who deserve to be in prison. i'm sorry but we HAVE to understand criminalization and incarceration as an intrinsic part of settler colonialism and racial capitalism, because settler states make laws that actively are designed to suppress indigenous and racialized resistance, and then enforce those laws in even more racist and discriminatory ways so that who is considered "criminal" is indelibly tied up with who is considered a "threat" to the settler state. that's how law, policing, and incarceration function worlwide, and how they have always functioned in israel as part of the zionist project.

talking about prison abolition in this context is not a distraction from what's happening to palestinians; it's a key tool of israel's apartheid and genocide. why do you think a major hamas demand has been for israel to release the palestinians in israeli prisons? why do you think israel nearly doubled the number of palestinians incarcerated in their prison in just the first two weeks after october 7? why do they systematically racially profile palestinians (particularly afro-palestinians, since anti-blackness is baked into israel's carceral system as well, like it is in much of the world) and arrest and charge 20% of palestinians, an astonishingly high rate that goes up even higher to 40% for palestinian men? why are there two different systems of law for palestinians and israelis, where palestinians are charged and tried under military law, leading to a conviction rate of almost 100%? why do they torture children and incarcerate them for up to 20 years just for throwing rocks? why can palestinians be imprisoned by israel without even being charged or tried? why do they keep the bodies of palestinians who have died in prison (often due to torture, execution, or medical neglect) for the rest of their sentences instead of returning them to their families?

this is not to say that no palestinians imprisoned by israel have ever done harm. but incarceration worldwide has never been about accountability for those who have done harm, nor about real justice for those have experienced harm, nor about deterring future harm. incarceration is about controlling, suppressing, and exterminating oppressed people. sometimes people from privileged classes get caught up in carceral systems as well, but it is a side effect, because the settler colonialist state will happily sacrifice some of its settlers for its larger goal.

so yes, gaza is an open-air prison. that doesn't means gazans deserve to be there. it means that no one deserves to be in prison, because prisons themselves are inherently oppressive.

#free palestine #prison abolition #abolition #settler colonialism #racial capitalism #police abolition #fyi if people have seen my other post about palestinians incarcerated by israel this one doesn't have anything new i'm just upset #also while we're at it can we get rid of the term “political prisoner” #who gets imprisoned and who doesn't is always political

True Blue in Red States

After a few conversations about race with the Arkansas in-laws, I've found more dialogue is as necessary as it is exhausting. Hot take incoming. >.>

I’m back from a trip to Arkansas, where the last of my husband’s four brothers got married! He’s the oldest in a large family of seven children, all of whom have strong personalities and deeply-held beliefs. One brother loves hunting; one sister is super-athletic; another sibling voted for Trump; yet another is a staunch Christian conservative; and one is also gay, married to a Vietnamese…

When No One is Watching (CBR14 #52)

When No One is Watching (CBR14 #52)

Thrillers aren’t usually my genre. Is that why When No One Is Watching is good but not great for me? Possibly. But we read out of our comfort zones on purpose so that maybe the next one is better, or that we’re more ready for it. This is another book that hopped to the front of the to read line based on this year’s Read Harder Challenge which has a task specifically for reading a political…

Tucker Carlson claps back at critics over race politics which happens every time a white person does any kind of crime. Those seeking to end racial division are not who you think.

He goes on to point out that the Buffalo shooter hated conservatives and Fox News. Because he was a violent liberal extremist triggered by race politics and the intentional displacement of his race by liberal immigration policies.
