Reflections on "#YesAllWomen"
This outpouring is giving voice to emotions normally shoved down and silenced—where what women too often put up with as "normal" is starting to give way to anger and a collective strength of spirit that women shouldn't have to live like this.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on "The Case for Reparations"
In Memory: Yuri Kochiyama, 1921-2014
With Justice in Her Heart… All of Her Life
On June 1, Yuri Nakahara Kochiyama, a fierce, eloquent fighter against oppression and injustice, died at the age of 93.
In light of the recent prisoner swap between the U.S. government and the Taliban the following is from BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian:
What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system. These two reactionary poles reinforce each other, even while opposing each other. If you side with either of these “outmodeds,” you end up strengthening both.
While this is a very important formulation and is crucial to understanding much of the dynamics driving things in the world in this period, at the same time we do have to be clear about which of these “historically outmodeds” has done the greater damage and poses the greater threat to humanity: It is the historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system, and in particular the U.S. imperialists.
