why everyone needs a critical understanding how media works. the implication here is that both the fascists and anti-fascists were attempting to get to one another and so the police used tear gas. in reality, antifascsists were standing in one place, not advancing, but holding a line in front of police. la meute, a few blocks away, was marching forward with police protection, and rather than “keeping both sides apart” the police pushed forward into the antifascist line by using clubs, mace/pepper spray, and knocking people down with their shields. what is implied to be a defensive action by the headline was actually an offensive action against antifascists in order to allow fascists to continue marching. aggression against antifascists so that the police could protect fascists while allowing them to accomplish their goals.

this isn’t even the worst example from saturday and it’s nothing compared to how skewed media writing can get on other issues. just useful to keep in mind when you’re reading news is how they’re twisting frames to support power structures.

Neocolonialism and a Maoist Strategy

Modern capitalism-imperialism can be broadly characterized by the development of neocolonialism...

I made some edits to this old piece, to clarify what neocolonialism really means in imperialist countries, its historical role, and Maoism’s place in its defeat.

Things that no one tells you about being a transwoman that you need to know:

if you are on hormones, you will have to pee 24/7

you are so god damn beautiful

tucking is hard the first time, but it gets easier

you don’t have to tuck if you don’t want to

there is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to be trans or to transition

YOu ARE GORGEOUS

you have to learn to love yourself, it will save your life

don’t let the rough times with dysphoria dictate how you feel about yourself on a daily basis

you need to acknowledge and cherish the things you like about yourself

know that you are fucking beautiful

drink like eighteen gallons of water a day

pay no mind to people who are ignorant

HONESTLy, SO PRETTY

bras are very sweaty

never feel like a burden for being you

tell yourself that your beautiful everyday

try to find positives in your life, they will help you when everything seems like it’s crumbling

wow, you. are. HOTTTTT.

patience is so important

there are going to be good days and bad days

your nipples are really going to hurt

no

like they will really hurt

if you are seeing a doctor for hormones etc, always be open and honest with any questions or concerns

you are as ***flawless as beyoncé and don’t let anyone tell your differently

you don’t have to be feminine to be a woman

don’t compare yourself to others

you are valid, you are worth it, and you worthy, you are important.

you are not alone, ever.

YOU ARE GORGEOUS.

I reshaped my brows in spite of that last post.

Hair removal is so annoying.

I love having silky smooth skin, but hate dealing with constantly shaving. My legs actually stay smooth for a while and I don’t have a ton of body hair, but I hate my beard shadow so much.

I haven’t decided whether I want to commit to laser treatment or just deal with it.

Patrick Cloutier, a ‘Van Doo’ perimeter sentry, and Anishinaabe Warrior Brad Larocque, staring each other down during the Oka Crisis, a land dispute between a group of Mohawk people and the town of Oka, in Canada, on September 1, 1990 in a photo by Shamei Komulainen.

For context, the Canadian government tried to invade unceeded Mohawk lands to build a golf course. In 1990.

[anarcho-tolkienist-deactivated2]

For further context, the Mohawk warriors stood up to them in a month-long blockade that ended in a shoot-out which left one canadian special operations member dead and the Anishinaabe still in control of their territory. No-one was charged for the death of the invading millitary member, and the Mohawks are still in cotnrol of their territory (at least, the partsf it that the governement tried to take away here) today. They won.

[gendernihilistanarchocommunist]

For even further and more contemporary context from an August 2017 op-ed by Steve Bonspiel, the editor/publisher of Kahnawake Mohawk Territory’s award-winning weekly newspaper The Eastern Door: 

Last Saturday [August 12th, 2017] Kanesatake Mohawks and their allies marched from Oka Park to the disputed site just outside the village of Oka where, once again, their land is being sold by a non-Native developer.

This is the same land we fought for in the so-called Oka Crisis in 1990; it’s the same land our ancestors have lived on for tens of thousands of years; the same land the Peacemaker came to first compel us to bury our weapons against each other within the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy.

It’s a 300-year-old fight that is going nowhere.

We don’t want another Oka Crisis, but the truth is, the Oka Crisis never ended.

Reblog if you’ve ever felt impostor syndrome with your gender and/or sexuality

I know it took me a while after realizing I was gay to not have some weekly panic of “What if I’m not a Real Lesbian™???” Sometimes I’d think no one would believe me if I came out to them, or even that I wasn’t “allowed” to be gay. 

I want LGBT folks to know that it’s 100% normal to struggle with those feelings. You can talk to other LGBT folks about those feelings and still have acceptance.  And also I want you to know that the impostor syndrome doesn’t last forever; eventually you will feel comfortable with yourself.

Dropping some knowledge for you. I bet you didn’t know that and they won’t teach you something like this at schools. That’s a shameful part of the history they want to forget, but you need to know this, to be aware of what happened to our people back then. These people experienced terror and torture just because white people didn’t want them free and flourishing.

Canada has also played a role in the ongoing exploitation of Haiti. The Canadian state provided support for and participated in the coup against Aristide in 2004.
