#Churchill was the Prime Minister when the British caused a famine in Iran during WWII by forcibly requisitioning stores of grain there.

Churchill was also the Prime Minister when India exported food ignoring a famine in Bengal during WWII. But 50 peers organized "a row": https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2026/jun/23/artwork-removed-national-portrait-gallery-helen-cammock-churchill-bengal-famine

How cultural institutions subtly silence and exclude writers, in the guise of concern or responsibility, to censor and “reshape[s] what other writers feel able to say, and what audiences are permitted to hear”.

When the murderer of an #Indigenous person is characterized as the victim, this #Conservative's rant clearly falls into the #whiteFragility or #whiteSupremacist category. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/canada/2026/05/21/manitoba-politician-calls-saskatchewan-farmer-who-killed-colten-boushie-a-victim?briefing_id=602309756&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-9w5w9Kfqqz0qvY74sAiLt3u-mT_nsBt00NaiWvgiULxr3O3OFmWQaZ2hltFg9HcUJY67vTFyeTXZZXNiadyA6EGYdf7w&_hsmi=16085228

A Sister Gaby immediately calls out a white woman Liz when she repeats what Gaby expressed in Ebonics.

Liz immediately stops without white fragility.

I've been watching another Karen show, All Her Fault, which has a theme of the unfair burden of the (white) mom having to always be "amazing".

Pluribus utterly destroys that concept, excellently, giving us a female character who's anything but "amazing", and the whites are so much, "no, not like that. she makes us seem bad".

We need more unlikable female characters because women are just as shitty as men.

"The Zionist produces and defines itself through the animalization of the Palestinian."

"Palestinian liberation is an impossibility in the current ordering of knowledge and being, similarly demanding through its realization the end of […] this world, and modernity."

This paper "posits that Palestinian freedom necessitates the creation of new worlds and [the getting rid of encumbering] constructs such as modernity and the Human."

First Worldism—“the loss of the prerogative, only and always, to be the one who transgresses the sovereign boundaries of other states, but never to be in the position of having one’s own boundaries transgressed.”
—Judith Butler, J. (2009). ‘Violence, mourning, politics’, in Harding, J. and Pribram, D. eds., Emotions: A Cultural Studies Reader. London: Routledge, pp. 387–402.

Today is the anniversary of the victory of a militant struggle in France.
White men of left and right coordinated to push young brown and black women back to their rightful place: subaltern.

October 2003: Lycée Henri Wallon in Aubervilliers expelled two sisters for wearing headscarves. A deafening political and media controversy ensued. The polemic obtained a law enacted on 15 March 2004, that banned girls wearing headscarves from schools.

Nathalie (in 2015): "I have children to feed and I’m looking for work, so I’m taking off my headscarf. I have no choice. No choice."
