The thing that really fucking drives me insane is that the Stonewall uprising is absolutely something that should be celebrated, in the same way that May Day celebrates the 1886 general strike for an 8-hour workday, or that International Working Women's Day celebrates the 1917 Petrograd textile workers' strike.* In a just world, June 28th would be celebrated—in Amerikkka, at least—as the day that (lumpen-)proletarian queers in general and trans women in particular rose up to play our part in the revolution! But unlike in Chicago 1886, or Petrograd 1917, the opportunists out-organized the revolutionaries in New York 1969, and swiftly transformed this date into a pagent of imperialist indulgence. Oh fucking well. If we (the dolls that Stonewall actually stood for) want the anniversary of our cry for freedom to actually mean anything, the only thing we can do is lead more riots

Did you see the BDS movement have updated their boycott list? XBox, Reebok, Teva and Disney have moved to priority targets, and they’re supporting the organic boycott of Zara. Dominos is back on the list too (did it ever really leave though)

I think the worst example I've ever seen of yankees' obsession with the idea of latin america being a nazi haven and the figure of the White Latino With Nazi Grandparents™ was that post where a brazilian user was talking about how her german jewish grandparents immigrated to brazil to escape from the nazis and some yankee ape literally went "are you sure they were FLEEING the nazis? I mean. Brazil. The nazis DID go there"
