Israel released 90 hostages in Gaza then took 90 new hostages in the West Bank. This is what Israel does and this is the vile colonial violence it’s founded on, beyond any kind of reform

It should come as no surprise that the corporate leaders who raised funds for IOF soldiers, who depend heavily on the militias & exploitative labor in the DRC for resources, who fight against unions & workers at home, align so readily with this “mask-off” administration.

The peoples interests are education, healthcare, higher wages, rent control, better living conditions, basic rights for women, lgbtqia+, the disabled…

The ruling class interests are police, military, big pharma, prisons & us aligned w 2 parties that share the same interests.

The police in your community are trained in Israel, use Israeli surveillance equipment & techniques & are there to protect the interests of the ruling/corporate class.

We are not afforded the privilege of choosing parties like teams when the root of both parties is racialized capitalism & imperial allegiance.

& the liberal media played along. Yes, Trump & his cohorts are 🗑️- & we also witnessed Dems choose the will of donors over voters with such blatant hypocrisy that many voters just threw up their hands in disgust.
Dems threw away the election bc the donor class wins either way.

I implore you to acknowledge that the American people are f*cked from both sides of the duopoly. Yes, Trump & his cohorts are 🗑️- & Yes, the extreme racism & gaslighting of the Democratic Party fueled a live-streamed genocide treating student protesters as terrorist sympathizers

Thread on one of our workshop teachers very early on, Fargo Tbakhi, and what their essay, Notes on Craft pushes historians to think about

the obsession with "looting" as if oil execs/politicians havent looted our planet & landlords arent about to loot what remains of LA is a level of stupidity that's unsalvageable... there's no saving your rotted brain. congrats on riding this hard for a system thats trying to kill you

Amid Evacuations for the L.A. Fires, Fears of Looting Take Hold
