lesbianism is, at base, about finding community with one's fellow women through our shared oppression. it is also about licking their armpits in sweaty, smoky nightclubs off half a g of crystal molly

The Roman Catholic church is the only Christian faith with any mettle.

The fact that Pieper Lewis is being forced to pay her sex trafficker's family $150,000 for killing him in self-defense is horrendous and evil. I am filled with so much anger and sorrow for her. I hate the justice system that allowed this to happen. She deserves reparations for the harm that was caused to her. A man tortured a girl and she has to pay his family for trying to survive. She was 15 when she killed him in self-defense. They charged a Black girl as an adult when she was a kid. The system has and continues to prosecute Black people as adults when they are children. She is 18 now. She's having to relive her trauma for three years now. He raped and trafficked her to other men. Pieper agreed to have her name used previously in stories about her case. She's taking all of this heat publicly and of course, the prosecution blamed her for "leaving his kids without a father." They judged her clothing choices. I hope everyone who charged her for trying to survive gets hell. Her life was damaged when this man went and harmed her. The system did not protect her from what she faced and when they found out what was done to her, they continued to put her through pain and trauma. They are now sentencing her to five years on probation in a women's facility. She was a girl. She is barely an adult now. The community owes her a service. That man owes her reparations. The justice system owes her for allowing her to be harmed and oppressed by the system. Not the other way around. She is in jail being punished when she did not commit a crime. They put a girl in a cage.

I'm re-linking the GoFundMe here. It's currently disabled at 15.8K donations but this may change. She was arrested after cutting off a GPS trafficking device they made her wear and leaving the facility.

This is how Leila Khalid views/viewed “western leftism” and it’s so, so incredibly accurate. I made it a bit easier to read:

“The training schedule was exacting, but occasionally left us time for a little fun. We were “entertaining” a group of foreign students and trying to lead a Bedouin kind of life in order to politicize our Bedouin population. The students had been attending an international solidarity meeting in Amman held under the auspices of the General union of Palestinian Students. Most were graduates of the 1968 university upheavals in the West. We found it very amusing that they honestly believed they were making a “revolution” if they undressed in public, seized a university building, or shouted an obscenity at bureaucrats. I was initially opposed and refused to talk to them, even though some believed in violent revolution, because I didn’t want to be another experimental “guinea-pig” to Westerners.
I finally relented and I am glad I did. I hadn’t met Western “revolutionaries” before. It turned out they represented an unfamiliar cultural rather than a political phenomenon. Some seemed to have read the history political literature of the left, but most regarded the Marxist-Leninist leaders disdainfully, with the exception of the “Young Marx”, who held some sort of fascination for revolution. Some Americans were quite serious and believed in the historic mission of the working class and were making plants to integrate themselves with the masses. 
What astonished us most about this group was that they were opposed to nationalism, a doctrine we hold dearly as a colonized and dissipated people. Some believed in violence for “the hell of it” and in students as revolutionary agents of history. But the majority were inclined towards guerrilla theatre as a means of “making revolution”. They performed a little for us.
As they were departing I was rather struck by a French anarchist student who proclaimed “Let chaos reign” and by a German who echoed the same sentiment. I exclaimed that the Palestinian people were an example of a society in chaos without authority and leadership, which as a result, was left at the mercy of the Zionist oppressor. I asked them what could they prescribe for us in order to overcome our kind of “alienation” -beards, long hair, and toy guns? They merely paused, they smiled, they reflected, they inhaled and passed their joints on in universal wonder.”

“Mad women fight back”; “Bet your ass we’re paranoid” - Psychiatric survivors during a protest in 1976

the woman on the right is Saralinda Grimes, and I believe that this photo may have been taken at the June 29–July 29, 1976 sleep-in in the office of California Governor Jerry Brown enacted by members of Network Against Psychiatric Assault and Women Against Psychiatric Assault, documented in Madness Network News 4, no. 1 (1976). I welcome correction.

in her own words, Saralinda Grimes was a “deaf Native American lesbian feminist” (Madness Network News 4, no. 3 [1977], 9). she was active with Women Against Psychiatric Assault.
