just waitin' around to die.

Kabosu did not deserve to have her image turned into cryptocurrency. She did not deserve to have the meme she was known for across the world to become a code word for a fascist coup.

so naturally you write a play in verse about the myth that completely centers on the mother's plight in the myth, lamenting her and her daughter's lot in life at the mercy of the (unfaithful and cruel) men controlling you both and separating you forever. it's a true lament from the heart about mothers losing their children (to death or male cruelty or both) written at the dawn of feminism and the height of romantic poetry.

if you live in a swing state, vote for whoever you want but do not sabotage or criticize campaigns to pressure kamala on israel (and these include campaigns such as uncommitted)

if u live in a blue or red state, vote jill stein so the green party can reach 5%

don't tell palestinians who to vote for

don't belittle genocide to convince people not to vote for trump

vote blue if you want to, but understand when you vote for the lesser evil (to you) it is still evil and you should be accountable for it. voting for the lesser evil is not harm reduction when the harm includes a genocide. this accountability includes understanding the anger against every biden admin policy, of which the foreign policy particularly has killed between ~40 to ~170 thousand people, and at least twenty thousand children.

you aren't making the correct moral choice when you vote blue, you are making a machiavellian one and you should view it as such. you have no guarantees your organizing or your conditions will survive another democrat administration either. nobody voted biden expecting him to embrace a genocide. like the current labour government, democrats are not reliable partners for even the smallest of their progressive campaign promises. it is not materialist or realist or whatever; it is base self-preservation.

i know thats not a catchy campaign slogan though, but if you're going to campaign (or as muhammed el-kurd put it, if you're going to laugh at the memes) you should do it with your eyes open

if your organizing cannot withstand the inherent and cruel contradiction of campaigning for and voting for people facilitating a genocide, if it cannot navigate this moment with humanity, thoughtfulness and understanding, and above all with the goal of preventing such an atrocity from happening again, and preventing americans from being forced to vote for genocidiares, then it is functionally no different to a trump rally. simply stating 'yes all american presidents are evil' is not sufficient, just as you know that saying 'thoughts and prayers' in response to a school shooting is not sufficient. see above for guidelines.
