Palestine is bleeding out, and the U.S. government is twisting Israel’s knife in Gaza’s wounds.
It has been over 500 days of relentless genocide, the death toll has crossed 50k, and the architects of imperialism are not hiding their plans to build condos on the rubble of Palestinian homes.

Trayvon’s life was taken by a white vigilante w/ self-imposed power as an extension of the police state, and his tragic murder ignited a movement that woke up millions in defense of Black life. We owe it to him to stand tall and fight for the world they deserved. We need you. Happy Birthday Trayvon🕊️

This is our friendly reminder that executive orders aren’t legislation, but directives on how the federal gov’t should be moving according to the administration. They inform how the state distributes resources, but are not yet laws.🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

While the U.S. throws another $8B in weapons to “Israel”, California is using slave labor from incarcerated people to fight wildfires.

Biden is sending "Israel" $8 BILLION in weapons to sustain the genocide of Palestinians. The U.S. will write blank checks to ensure the Zionist entity can continue to murder generations of families and expand their imperial violence into the region.

A system where mass murder via paperwork and policy is legal but existing while Black and homeless is punishable by vigilante killing should be abolished.

This is why we don’t look to the most powerful people in marginalized groups. While they are working on fitting in, their actions often reinforce the center that keeps everyone else out.
