A broken clock is right twice a day. Holy fuck, I can hardly believe these words came from Ronald Reagan.
“I will be no longer complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine.”
RIP Aaron Bushnell

Just finished reading Maus for the first time and this part really spoke to me.
I always reblog this when I see it, but this time I want to add something.
Art Spiegelman is not a zionist. He still feels he is a displaced diaspora and does not seem to call himself anti-zionist, but he actively disproves of Israel's actions.
He describes Israel as resembling those with PTSD who begin to beat down on others. He feels it is a failed and very sad idea. I feel people never speak on this, as well as his criticism of the government response to 9/11.
He was in New York as it was happening, he had to pick up his child from school and it actively traumatized him due to his father being a Holocaust survivor. He still actively criticized the US and their bombing of the Middle East, rightfully implying the US government is actively filled with terrorists. It is.
I will not say he is the model perfect opinion, I will not say there is no fault to his work. But he at least acknowledges despite whatever he feels that no one deserves to be terrorized to the degree the Middle East has. Please keep Palestine in your thoughts and do what you can.
YES!!! Given this is my post with the most engagement by far of anything else on my blog, I’ve been meaning to write another post altogether to talk about Spiegelman’s views on Israel, Palestine, and America.
And yes, support Palestine, demand a cease fire, speak out loudly against the genocide Israel is enacting on the Palestinian people, and call for countries around the world to do what they can to cut off support to Israel.

On this day, 8 April 2013, former Conservative prime minister Margaret Thatcher died. Street parties broke out across the UK, particularly in working class areas and in former mining communities which were ravaged by her policies.
Her legacy is best remembered for her destruction of the British workers’ movement, after the defeat of the miners’ strike of 1984-5. This enabled the drastic increase of economic inequality and unemployment in the 1980s. Her government also slashed social housing, helping to create the situation today where it is unavailable for most people, and private property prices are mostly unaffordable for the young.
Thatcher also complained that children were “being cheated of a sound start in life” by being taught that “they have an inalienable right to be gay”, so she introduced the vicious section 28 law prohibiting teaching of homosexuality as acceptable.
Abroad, Thatcher was a powerful advocate for racism, advising the Australian foreign minister to beware of Asians, else his country would “end up like Fiji, where the Indian migrants have taken over”. She hosted apartheid South Africa’s head of state, while denouncing the African National Congress as a “typical terrorist organisation”. Chilean dictator general Augusto Pinochet, responsible for the rape, murder and torture of tens of thousands of people, was a close personal friend.
Back in Britain, she protected numerous politicians accused of paedophilia including Sir Peter Hayman, and MPs Peter Morrison and Cyril Smith. She also lobbied for her friend, serial child abuser Jimmy Savile, to be knighted despite being warned about his behaviour.
Margaret Thatcher was eventually forced to step down after the defeat of her hated poll tax by a mass non-payment campaign.

She also allowed the british army to go to war over the Malvinas Islands, forcing houndreds of men to slaughter a bunch of kids, because when the british saw what they were up against wanted to retreat and weren’t allowed.
I wish she and Ronald Reagan a very happy burn-in-Hell.
What the fuck are you saying, woman?
I have never seen so much to unpack in such a short tweet.
He lived two short months on this planet and his only lived experience was being in the midst of a genocide…
