Something to note about LA's response to ICE (still ongoing! 250+ days!) is that folks are in "marathon, not a sprint" mode, & have worked pretty hard trying to minimize burnout. Is it totally successful? No, but what is? h/e what looks on the outside like apathy is in fact focused & diverse work
If you thought this paradigm was going to last 30-90 days and then end and now, at day 72, you’re realizing the fallout is actually an indefinitely permanent paradigm, it makes sense you went super hard at a pace that is unsustainable.
Recalibrate now before you’re hurtling into the concrete floor.
Recalibrate now before you’re hurtling into the concrete floor.
I’m seeing more and more Minneapolis/Minnesota people naming that they are burned out and I just hope people allow themselves to change their pacing from sprint to marathon or better yet, a relay.
Slow down if the alternative is you crashing out and not being able to do anything.

huge W, this was a truly relentless grassroots campaign that was (almost) entirely abandoned by mainstream and radical orgs alike
It’s official: Easy Aerial, the company manufacturing death drones for the Zionist occupation, is getting booted from its office at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
This is a big win and comes after months and months of *sustained* pressure and agitation from our neighbors on the ground. Local organizing works!

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier."

![Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies “the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw—and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken.” Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive—via brain death—or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners’ torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can’t. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgw3d4hvw3x5ijrxax7lg26u/bafkreiesvmsm3hrmrwxi7d7wvuaxc7u7oovqonpx2tdpxdnjhlgxh7lhni@jpeg)

The point I should make is that Israel didn't need to use special, controlled, or illegal weapons to commit genocide in Gaza. They primarily used very basic, standard weapons with little oversight or control. *All* weapons to Israel must be stopped, because *all* weapons are used to commit genocide.
A harrowing article, but unfortunately muddies the waters a little bit talking about thermobaric weapons - none of the weapons listed are thermobaric, and all use a standard high explosive mix. Which still causes the horrifying effects detailed, but there's nothing special or unusual about them.
