After her tremendously powerful performance on Fallon this week, Hayley Williams has published this essay, breaking down the lyrics of True Believer line by line. (Oh, how I wish every song of consequence got one of these!). Ever wondered as a white woman how to show up in solidarity? This is how.

The fact that pointing out that a rich white woman hasn’t spoken up during a genocide led to defensiveness & near instant anti-Blackness tells me that white women are very okay with racism they can benefit from.
They give TS cover from criticism because they want cover from the same criticism too.

Great to see @australia.theguardian.com is at it again with this bullshit reporting. Stop parroting Israeli propaganda. They don't "call themselves" humanitarians, they ARE humanitarians. Literally delivering aid. They're not the ones bombing hospitals & schools and shooting babies in the head FFS.

Juliet Lamont says she was beaten, groped and verbally abused by Israeli prison guards but will try again to ‘break the siege’ on Gaza
Juliet Lamont was freezing in the back of a prison van that had been driving through the desert for hours – no idea where she was going, listening to the roar of military aircraft – when she saw the sign.
The van windows were blacked out and she was afraid she would be struck if she looked around, but, craning her head and peering through a crack, she could read it. Some of the blue and white signs were in Hebrew, others Arabic. This one was in English. Later, as soon as she had access to a pen, the Australian documentary maker would scribble it down, as best as she could recall, upon a serviette. Continue reading...

Last night I had a dream that we all woke this morning to find Trump had abdicated the presidency. Never have I wanted the words of a delusional 90s pop song to be true more than I did this morning.

Big sigh. Watch this.
Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting?
No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

And by that measure alone, it fails to be empathy at all.

I think it’s interesting how it’s “political violence” when it’s a white supremacist but not when it’s hundreds of thousands of Sudanese or Palestinian people.
But y’all are still fuzzy on why fascism happens?
