Poppy Liu Instagram – nothing that hasn’t been posted or shared already but the algorithm is blocking all of my p@lest!ne stories and the defeaning silence of my peers saying nothing about g@za makes me more and more emboldened to speak my support. i’m not a source for anything, please do your own research (between the black out and the media erasure/propaganda it takes extra leg work to get info directly from g@za, @eye.on.palestine is a good starting point), but at a moment when people are so silent it feels even more important to add our voices and names in support of p@lest!ne.
also asian americans??!!?? hello??!!!? do we not all come from places that have experienced decades of colonization? do we not know this narrative very well? was it not so long ago that we were the ones asking for solidarity?? where are our voices now??!!
this is the myth of the model minority at its worst. i can smell the fear. of pissing the wrong people off. of weighing the odds and choosing to align with the more powerful side. of course we can hold context and history. of course we know the oppressed can become the oppressor. of course we know people are not their governments. of course the answer never has been never will be anti-s3mit!sm. i’ve heard everyone say all of this BUT CAN WE NOT ALSO SAY FREE P@LEST!NE?!!!! | Posted on 29/Oct/2023 05:04:59
