I'm so sick of how the language of emotional intimacy and care is used to obscure power relations. The future is a boot stamping on a human face while a recorded message urging self-care plays, forever

Alyssa Milano/The Wing/Joe Biden want us to "feel seen and heard", which situates the problem in our hearts, not in the world, not in anyone's actions. Progressives "need space" to mourn Warren's campaign but progressives don't get "space" to feel angry or disappointed with her.

"I see you. I hear you." says the person attached to the boot, the person setting the fire, the person laying you off, the person walking away. "Take as much time and space as you need to process this".
