Colonization disguised as democracy is still colonization. Israel’s narrative of having a right to defend itself doesn’t absolve its state sponsored terrorism.

Settler colonies like Israel were built through displacement and violence. They don’t have a right to exist. Ever.

People who use drugs don’t need to be fixed to be cared for. They deserve to live without judgment, without conditions, and without fear.

Care shouldn’t come with prerequisites.

When we define violence only as physical harm, we overlook how ideologies and institutions not only enable violence but can themselves be violent.

Landlords can increase rent overnight. Tenants can’t increase income overnight. The “fair market” has never been fair.

The U.S. is threatening Ireland for daring to boycott Israel. Imagine if they defended human rights this hard.
