Between the defeat of Jeremy Corbyn and the coup that ousted Evo Morales, I have been quite close to giving into hopelessness and despair. Then I got a belated Christmas gift.

Iran, a poem 🇮🇷
Remember Persepolis? The little girl from Iran we read about as teenagers? Well, she’s a real person by the way, And so are the thousands in Iran set to die.

Surprised JK Rowling Is A Monster? Then You Didn’t Pay Attention to Harry Potter
Are you shocked, absolutely shocked, that JK Rowling would out herself so blatantly as a transphobic bigot? Don’t be. Rowling has never been on the side of the oppressed.

Nancy Pelosi botched this impeachment because she ignored all of Trumps genuinely impeachable offenses in order to protect Joe Biden.
Say my name!
Some of you may recall, Fox News doxxed me in August of 2019. In a segment dedicated to harassing the DSA and myself, Tucker Carlson seemed to have an affinity for my name. Tucker Carlson said my name, “James Jackson, from Sacramento,” at least 10 times in his 20 minute segment about me. He didContinue reading “Say my name!”
