WOMANISM. Oh and realize she was speaking of structural power’s impact on gendered abuse which is disproportionately men abusing women. So this song is not the place for "but women and people who aren’t men say ‘bitch’ tooooo." Spare me. Context. The song is on domestic violence, street harassment etc. And the song was about Black life. It can be about Black life without "so, no one else abuses?" hyperbole being inferred, as it’s obvious that’s not true.

I know some folks don’t like context but I am here for it.

Today marks the anniversary of FDR signing executive order 9066, which authorized the “indefinite detention” of nearly 150,000 people on American soil.

The order authorized the Secretary of War and the U.S. Army to create military zones “from which any or all persons may be excluded.” The order left who might be excluded to the military’s discretion. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt inked his name to EO9066 on Feb. 19, 1942, it opened the door for the roundup of some 120,000 Japanese-Americans and Japanese citizens living along the west coast of the U.S. and their imprisonment in concentration camps. In addition, between 1,200 and 1,800 people of Japanese descent watched the war from behind barbed wire fences in Hawaii. Of those interned, 62 percent were U.S. citizens. The U.S. government also caged around 11,000 Americans of German ancestry and some 3,000 Italian-Americans.

José Carlos Mariátegui is one of Latin America’s most profound but overlooked thinkers. A self-taught journalist, social scientist, and activist from Peru, he was the first to emphasize that those fighting for the revolutionary transformation of society must adapt classical Marxist theory to the particular conditions of Latin American. He also stressed that indigenous peoples must take an active, if not leading, role in any revolutionary struggle.

Today Latin America is the scene of great social upheaval. More progressive governments are in power than ever before, and grassroots movements of indigenous peoples, workers, and peasants are increasingly shaping the political landscape. The time is perfect for a rediscovery of Mariátegui, who is considered an intellectual precursor of today’s struggles in Latin America but virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. This volume collects his essential writings, including many that have never been translated and some that have never been published. The scope of this collection, masterful translation, and thoughtful commentary make it an essential book for scholars of Latin America and all of those fighting for a new world, waiting to be born.

An indigenous woman from Nahuizalco, El Salvador, holds a flyer that reads “Stop the Genocide Against Palestine”. 

Small groups of Indigenous Salvadorans participate in rallies in support of Palestine because they consider Palestine to be suffering the same types of injustices they suffered [and continue to suffer] from Spanish colonialism. [January 6, 2009]

What’s happening in Venezuela.  Please share this video.  

[chibchombia-blog]

idk how i feel about this video. i mean, i obviously am not venezuelan and do not reside there but it seems to me like this is only providing one side of the story. to refer to venezuela's government as inherently illegitimate ignores the fact that it had some of the most "legitimate" electoral processes seeing as countless observers came from around to world to ensure there wasn't any foul play. i am not questioning whether or not there is discontent in the nation, i just think that any information that is disseminated with such a lack of resources (and in this case, several pictures of protests that are not from actual venezuelan citizenry's clashes with the police but of other events that have transpired worldwide) makes me wonder what the actual intent of the video is (information vs propaganda)

This should also be taken into account: http://afgj.org/alliance-for-global-justice-statement-on-right-wing-violence-in-venezuela

Welcome To Colombia.

Walter Blanco is ‘Breaking Bad’ in the Colombian remake titled ‘Metástasis.’

[astrojhon-deactivated20150415]

lol wuuuuut, so i did not watch breaking bad, but i’d b down to watch this!

[chibchombia-blog]

This isn't worth advertising or watching, all it represents is the continuation of a painfully long trend within Colombian tv that centers on the life (and alleged glory) of the drug dealer. How many novelas have been aired about Escobar or any of his other cronies? Why do we continue to support this?
