In the aftermath of Bloody Sunday, British Home Secretary, Reginald Maudling, spoke in the House of Commons. He claimed that the British paratroopers who shot and killed 14 civil rights marchers had only done so in self defence. Denied the right to verbally respond, Bernadette Devlin, MP for Mid-Ulster and fellow civil rights marcher, got up from her seat, walked across the House and punched Reginald Maudling. When asked by reporters what she had hoped to achieve from this action, Bernadette responded that she wanted to deliver a “simple, proletarian protest“ and when questioned as to her intentions of apologising to the Home Secretary she concluded, “I’m just sorry I didn’t get him by the throat”.

“‘My people’—the people who knew about oppression, discrimination, prejudice, poverty and the frustration and despair that they produce– were not Irish Americans. They were black, Puerto Ricans, Chicanos. And those who were supposed to be ‘my people’, the Irish Americans who knew about English misrule and the Famine and supported the civil rights movement at home, and knew that Partition and England were the cause of the problem, looked and sounded to me like Orangemen. They said exactly the same things about blacks that the loyalists said about us at home. In New York I was given the key to the city by the mayor, an honor not to be sneezed at. I gave it to the Black Panthers.”

Bernadette Devlin.

When someone says the clearances weren’t that bad

one of the first things cia officials did before the cia was officially an organization was help out nazi spies after ww2, which they continued to do after the cia was officially established. after that theyve continued to murder, torture, fund coups and terrorist organizations, and work with fascists. the cia is absolutely irredeemable and no amount of female directors will change that or “make it better at what its supposed to do.” there is no suitable reform for the cia other than completely abolishing it

There will be a lot of homophobes in your life who won’t openly hate you. They’ll instead wait for a reason to hate you that is more socially acceptable in their circle.

not to hijack tbh, but this kind of like ‘secret’ homophobia applies to racism too - people won’t discriminate against you for shit they know they can’t get away with, but the minute they find anything else. not all bigots are stupid enough to give that shit away - the truly insidious ones find ways to discriminate without actually playing into MAGA style discrimination and bigotry
