A portrait of Frederick Douglass, a Black man with white hair and beard wearing a black suit with white shirt. Below the image is a quote in white text on a dark background reading: "WHERE JUSTICE IS DENIED, WHERE POVERTY IS ENFORCED, WHERE IGNORANCE PREVAILS, AND WHERE ANY ONE CLASS IS MADE TO FEEL THAT SOCIETY IS AN ORGANIZED CONSPIRACY TO OPPRESS, ROB, AND DEGRADE THEM, NEITHER PERSON NOR PROPERTY IS SAFE." The quote is attributed to "FREDERICK DOUGLASS" at the bottom of the image. The Godless Engineer (GE) logo appears faintly in the background.
Black Americans and other minorities are still experiencing this today. Nothing has made this clearer than the violations of people's constitutional rights by #ICE.

Image of sinuous black dragonfish and tiny insectoid copepod with poem overlaid. Poem reads: Systemic Nature In ebb and flow and swirling ocean, The crowd accordions in the current. No one notices a particular plankton – A singular copepod trying to cope. So small with six frantic pairs of limbs. Greek-named for “oar feet.” But even more feet could not help against the push and crush of current. Adrift since birth, the copepod has bumbled through ten intense molts, morphing into beyond tired, scared, and lonely. Born into privileges of strong muscle, long teeth, and light-up spots, the dragonfish deftly swims through the current – Playing off the masses he’s been bred to pluck. The copepod searches desperately for light that grows its food, that means its rest. The dragonfish turns on his barbell glow that lures the starved, that are taken for granted The copepod sets all pairs of oars toward rest. The dragonfish feasts upon his due.
Sometimes it feels like I must wrestle my very nature to do better when I know better. That doesn't make it ok to stop trying. #poetry #ecology #systemicoppression

A poem about clipped wings, stolen voices, and the quiet rise of retribution.
The kind of truth we’re not supposed to say out loud.

KEI is registered under the FARA as an agent of the KIEP, a public corporation established by the government of the Republic of Korea. Screenshot of Korea Economic Institute (KEI) website showing an academic article page titled "Problems with Korea's Defamation Law" by Sang Hyun Back, demonstrating that even Korean government-affiliated institutions acknowledge serious issues with defamation law that enables systematic silencing of victims and protection of perpetrators.
The censorship targeted content uniting diverse Korean demographics under a "defamation law abolition" platform—a reform that would dismantle the legal framework protecting institutional sexual violence.

This co-optation reflects how capitalism appropriates liberatory practices developed by marginalized communities. When self-care becomes about buying wellness, it reinforces the very structures Lorde fought against. #SystemicOppression 🧵 5/10

We are commemorating #MentalHealth Awareness Month with a gentle nudge.
How do you show up for your community?
It is important to recognize that #community, while (ideally) not transactional, should be reciprocal. And it is a vital tool in our resistance against #systemicoppression and violence.
Maybe the problem isn't that the world isn't fair maybe the answer is you just need to up your game
