I've said this before and I'll say it again:
One of our biggest hurdles towards justice in Palestine is forgetfulness.
One of the main reasons Israel continues to commit replicas of the same massacres weeks, sometimes days, apart with complete impunity is because Israel is counting on the world to forget. Israel's founders have said exactly that.
But since generations of Palestinians have made it very clear that forgetfulness is not an option, this meant that Israel's next target became the selective amnesia of the west, which has consequently become the cornerstone of Israel's impunity.
I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say
Justice for predstrogen.
“The average US president has been charged with 1.54 felonies” factoid isn’t true. The average US President has been charged with 0 felonies. Donald trump, who has been charged with 71, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted
Does anyone else remember when one of America’s most famous science communicators, Neil deGrasse Tyson was accused of rape and many other chases of sexual misconduct.
And then nothing happened to him. He was barely investigated. He just kept his job as DIRECTOR of the Hayden Planetarium (the 3rd largest Planetarium in the United States). He also kept his job on the Cosmos continuation (which aired in 2020) and his podcast/tv show StarTalk.
And while I will admit that their is no definitive proof of the allegation of rape, the two other public reports of sexual misconduct have not been denied by Tyson. He has however said that he did not intend for his actions to be sexual in nature.
The four brave women that came forward with these allegations are Tchiya Amet, Katelyn Allers, Ashley Watson, and the fourth woman who remained anonymous. Please make sure that these women are not forgotten.
To lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given side-eye when you tried to fit in…. you are so worthy of love.
