| Anti-oppression |
The U.S. lies to its people about its roles in countries/territories everywhere.
If the U.S. didn't lie, people would understand, even more, its violent lead in global wars, destitution, genocide, and colonization.
So I'm doing a series on the lies the U.S. tells us.
You ready?

So of course, the U.S. has to lie to cover all of that up. The U.S. gov and media have been lying to you.
In order to keep its U.S. military occupying Korea, to justify the cost, to get people to forget that the U.S. literally created north Korea and thus birthed its own enemy, to slur over its culpability in escalating the conflict, of course, of course the U.S. has to lie.

Korea is technically still at war after a peace treaty that never came following a Korean War armistice. A 1953 armistice that was hastily imposed by the U.S. and China. A Korea that was divided by the U.S. and the USSR in 1945.
Note the common denominator here. The U.S.
It is the U.S. that pushed the division of Korea into north and south in the first place, and then imposed a botched truce. That’s right, it’s the U.S., not north Korea.

If you've seen any news about north Korea lately, you've probably heard that north Korea is “threatening” south Korea with missiles and drones.
But in fact, it is the U.S. and a U.S.-inspired south Korea that are instigating north Korean defenses.
North Korea does not act without being provoked.

There’s so much going on inside and outside. Thus, what a great day to stay in bed.

You resting soon?
Just checking.
Let’s change the perception of
and access to
rest as a luxury
to what it truly is,
a necessity.
We would not exist without Black women. We could not even IMAGINE being free, without the work of Black women.
And yet I’ve never witnessed such deep hatred than what is hurled at Black women.
Black women owe everyone else NOTHING. And yet how dare humanity demand everything?
What we are witnessing is more people organizing and calling out capitalism and white dominant culture as toxic, and the structures that have been used to reigning are crumbling and trembling at their foundations.

You're not lazy, you're exhausted from the endless barrage of racism.
You're not lazy, you're tired of being exploited by companies and governments.
You're not lazy, you're non-stop fighting anti-immigrant policies, ableism, and transphobia.
It is not that people are getting lazier or more apathetic.
