i don’t want to know what kristin beck did in iraq and afghanistan. that picture of her at the FBI something or other in west virginia, foregrounded against pictures of afghan men in civilian clothes – too egregious, too disturbing for words. trans rights – yes, always. american imperialism along with its military enablers – down with them. pls stop the glorification of war and all the talk about purple hearts. there are human beings at the receiving end of that “patriotic” violence. it doesn’t exist in a vacuum.
