you may emerge from this more dead than alive.

im tired of saudi women being used as this like nightmare concept like “dont complain women in saudi arabia can’t even drive” like…  saudi women are alive and kicking and unless you care about starting a real conversation about saudi women’s rights shut up and shove an entire truck up your ass before you bring them into ur mouth as an anti-feminist gotcha tactic 

Bring it back.

Bring this back.

For real.

That’s why the FBI broke them up, isn’t it ?

That among other community initiatives. They had weapons training, self defense, their free breakfast program and ran a newspaper. They raised money to pay for bail and legal funding for people. And they used to notify the community of their rights and encourage people to know the laws and protest the one which were unjust. That type of shit irked the local police and damned sure struck a nerve with the FBI. They were taking back the streets and providing the protection the police were never interested in bringing to their neighborhoods from the very start. So it’s always fuck the FBI for me.

Also let’s be starkly clear about this: under COINTELPRO the FBI raided the homes of Black Panthers and outright murdered them. They conspired with local police forces to harass, assault, and concoct false evidence against anybody affiliated with the BPP. And they didn’t keep their operations confined to the black community directly. When a white woman working in civil rights was killed by the KKK (they were aiming at her black passenger) the FBI excused the KKK by claiming that she was a communist and slept with black men. They refused to accept the reports of white agents who said that the BPP were no threat and demanded that the agents falsify information to paint the BPP as violent domestic terrorists. The FBI was determined to quash revolutionary black movements that were chiefly devoted to community protection and development and they stopped at nothing in their attempts to reach this goal.

^^^^And that white woman’s name was Viola Liuzzo.

brilliant. do u have solutions for the other two

The idea that LGBT people owe it to anyone to be more radical than cishets is pretty ridiculous and is clearly repackaged complacency for the politics of cishets as simply being the politics of people who somehow aren’t capable of knowing better. This is true of marginalized groups in general and it’s such a common part of how we talk about marginalized groups and their politics when it’s just loose reasoning that falls through after half a second of thought. There is no inherently revolutionary or radical subject position. This is what makes notions like “homonationalism” useless to me; nationalism among LGBT people is certainly real but it isn’t fundamentally a different beast than nationalism itself, just its particular expression in a subset of people. I’m not fond of LGBT liberals either but acting like being marginalized means you “should know better” is just downright lazy.

I thought homonationalism was states using their LGBT rights record to distract from/ justify their imperialism not individual LGBT people being nationalist?

I’ve heard “pinkwashing” used to refer to that actually, not “homonationalism.”
