I have often used the tagline "pleasure, revolt, despair" to describe my personal-political disposition. Entering 2009, my heart is filled with the latter. The Israeli invasion of Gaza, the continued occupation of Iraq, the escalation of the war in Afghanistan, and the war against immigrants, people of color, women, and queers continues to cost thousands of lives. With all the celebration in the U.S. cities over the past year, we have heard so little frustration, strategy, revolt.
May this empire of greed and destruction collapse. May the oppressed be liberated. May 2009 bring down the violence of the United States of America.
