“Colonialism needed to move large populations of people—slaves and indentured labor—to work in mines and on plantations. Now the new dispensation needs to keep people in place and move the money—so the new formula is free capital, caged labor.”http://bostonreview.net/literature-culture-global-justice/arundhati-roy-avni-sejpal-challenging-%E2%80%9Cpost-%E2%80%9D-postcolonialism …

There are nearly 60,000 kids locked up in America’s juvenile and adult jails and prisons. Caging kids is an American tradition. Trump didn't start it, but we can end it. https://theappeal.org/caging-kids-is-an-american-tradition/ … by

It’s not worth getting into positions of power just to propose policy that feels “realistic.” It demands changing the conversation & doing radical things bc that’s what a moment requires. Because sometimes people need to be pushed to understand that something better is possible.

So when I see ppl who express admiration for something like the abolition of slavery, but who turn around & say that something like The Green New Deal is unrealistic, it seems to demonstrate a lack of understanding of how meaningful social change has ever happened in the country.

The US had quite literally never existed w/o the institution of slavery alongside it. The first enslaved Africans arrived in 1619 & the US became an independent nation in 1776. Abolition required imagining a country that had never existed, a radical reconception of the republic.

I’m always struck by ppl who express admiration for those like Douglass & Tubman while labeling policies that attempt to build a more just & moral society “unrealistic.” Do these ppl think abolishing slavery was widespread & popular policy proposal in the 19th century? It wasn’t.

Tell the children in your life that they can tell you anything. SHOW them, through the way you act. Be a safe harbor for them so that they know you will believe them and protect them. And I don’t just mean little children.

in college our soccer team had a boy band party where we did coreographed dances to a medley of nysync songs so if my political enemies ever decide to come for me i hope they pull the clips of my stellar spin move & body roll combo during the chorus of bye bye bye

Shout out to every person who was on the frontlines of the the fight for a $15 min wage when the push began years ago. So many ppl said it was impossible but these organizers, led by the workers themselves, completely changed the landscape of the conversation & changed the game.

I really enjoy buying used books because you get some small insight into how someone else experienced that book before you. Every highlighted sentence, underlined passage, circled word, & dogeared page is like being part of a book club with a stranger you'll never meet.
