DACA is in the supreme court. Far from being a legislative or constitutional battle for Trump's administration, this is fascist virtue signaling. The arguments over legality thinly veil the systemic truth: this is an overt ramping up of policies already in place with previous administrations. Next up, Never Again Action launches proactive and historically conscious activism, combining outreach with protest.   https://www.neveragainaction.com/

Act Out Update!

Following a relatively sheisty July, Eleanor ruminates on her emotional and mental boundaries, and whether or not it's possible to always respect them. And how does this differ or diverge depending on who you're interacting with - i.e. dear friends & family or a casual comrade. artkillingapathy.com

Episode 278 - Understanding Backwards & Sometimes Boundaries Don't Work

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” - George Orwell Without history, we wander through our present and build our future - totally blind.

Episode 277 - We're Walking Blind & Orwell Told Us So

A seldom considered connection is the one between genocidal imperialism and body image. But as we sift through history and into the shallow dumbshittery of eugenics, we find not only the drive to mass murder "inferior races," but to define beauty along those very same genocidal lines. Pulling from Sven Lindqvist's work, "Exterminate All the Brutes," this foray into the nerdery follows nefarious threads to the roots of self hatred based on the creation of "inferior races."   artkillingapathy.com

Episode 276 - The Racist Imperialism Lurking in Your Body Image

Multiple things can be true at the same time. Our very existence proves that. We exist as multitudes, holding multiple truths not only about ourselves but about the world around us. For instance, the rise in anti-Jewish violence must be condemned AND we must continue to demand an end to the oppression of Palestinians. By embracing these multiple truths, these manifold selves, we resist the rigid monoculture paradigm of a system that demands one way of doing things, one truth, one allegiance, one mind.    artkillingapathy.com
