mohandasgandhi:
IN THINKING about the appropriate American response to the crisis in Egypt, there’s at least one respect in which it’s important to think about how we responded to the failed Green Revolution in Iran. During the Iranian protests, the United States quite appropriately refrained from calling for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to step down as president, or from openly backing the...

sixkindsofbullshit:
I know that many people in the US are scared out of their wits that the US is “going the way of Sweden” and turning into a socialist society. I almost laugh out loud every time I hear that.

Inside this new love, die. Your way begins on the other side. Become the sky. Take an axe to the prison wall. Escape. Walk out like someone suddenly born into color. Do it now. You’re covered with thick cloud. Slide out the side. Die, and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign that you have died. Your old life was a frantic running from silence. The speechless full moon comes out...
