I Love My Fauxtivism And Yours
When we call ourselves activists
play dress up in big boy costumes
cosplay as allies
liken ourselves to actual revolutionaries
then hang our hats at the door of Chrissy Teigen.
White People: “This is the lowest point America has ever reached"
Black People:
I could hear the laugh through the gif 😭😭🤦🏽♂️
“I can’t even describe Gaza as a prison, because even prisoners have fundamental rights. Gaza is an isolated area under occupation, where people aren’t allowed in and out. There is an electricity crisis that leaves millions without power for hours every day, 97 percent of Gaza’s water is undrinkable, there is not enough electricity to provide basic sanitation needs. Israel and the Palestinian Authority are trying to prevent patients in need of emergency treatment from entering the West Bank or Israel. There are shortages of medication and treatment. It’s a catastrophic situation. The Israeli occupation’s policies manifest in our daily life.”
“The poorest and most marginalized are resorting to living off bread and tea only. I’m afraid that with the ongoing situation, Gaza will be unlivable by the end of 2018, not 2020 as the United Nations previously predicted. Gazans cannot enjoy culture, they cannot go to the theater or to the movies. This makes life impossible.”
