cocteau twinks - episode 37 (nobody is free until we are all free)

PLEASE READ!!!!hello everyone welcome back thank u for the influx of subscribers i'm truly gagged. this is an episode where we discuss many things but a heavy focus on political discourse. idk i felt even more inclined after our last episode to talk about things in further detail. just some cliff notes, khartoum (the capital of sudan) was recently recaptured by sudan's government forces, however civilians in sudan are still experiencing mass violence and destruction. also clock that the US have been revoking visas for south sudanese passport owners. FREE SUDAN. and the national gallery of australia art piece, it was a west papua flag that wasn't covered, not ukraine. also, ethan accidentally got the name wrong, he was talking about Cory Booker. sorry we got the name wrong, we have been keeping up i swear, just so many things happening in this current time. and on turkiye, the president of istanbul (Ekrem Imamoglu) was unlawfully arrested by Erdogan and the government are silencing/arresting the civilians who protest against this. democracy is a human right. i'm going to link heaps of resources in the description box relating to some things discussed but i pls urge u to do ur own research too, let's become more well-informed and aware together. AS WE HAVE ALWAYS SAID. if u wanna call us a "political podcast" i will always take that as a compliment. there is nothing embarrassing or shameful about bringing discussion relating to genocide and oppression to the internet. we aren't just political, we are conscious. and using the small platform we have to talk about it is the least that we can do. you cannot take a neutral stance in a genocide. from the river to the sea PALESTINE WILL BE FREE. pls send me more gofundme links as well, more than happy to add them to the description box. also if these discussions are in any way confronting or distressing, i please urge u to seek out mental health services available online.
