PSA in this week's FW Weekly from the Fort Worth Society of Friends.
PSA from the Fort Worth Quakers: STOP US TAXOCELARS SUPPORTING GENOCIDE IN GAZA Over $22 Billion US tax dollars since 2023 spent in military support of Isreal leading to: • Over 57,000 Palestinians directly killed in Gaza, with estimates of the number of people killed as a result of both the direct and indirect impacts of war rising as high as 300,000. In Gaza, at least 17,000 children killed, more than 35,000 injured, over 50,000 children lost at least one of their parents. Between 3,000 and 4,000 children in Gaza have had one or more limbs amputated - the highest figure for child amputees globally. • Nearly 10,000 Palestinians held in Israeli military detention, over 3,500 of them without any charge or trial, and in facilities where they are regularly subject to violence, sexual abuse, torture, and killing. • Over 200 Palestinian journalists killed. • Deliberate mass starvation through the systematic obstruction of food, water, and medicine. The destruction of over 70% of homes. Over 1,450 recorded attacks on health workers, patients, hospitals, and medical infrastructure with at least 1,500 health care workers killed and over 85% of hospitals bombed or besieged. Remaining facilities are systematically denied fuel and electricity - cutting power to incubators, dialysis machines, and operating theaters, directly causing preventable deaths. Forced displacement of 1.9 million people amid calls to erase Gaza and for the ethnic cleansing of the population. State-sanctioned dehumanization and incitement by officials with Palestinians called "human animals" and with politicians, media, and soldiers celebrating killings of civilians.

They know they're wrong. They do not care. The goal is to be cruel.

Scotty was convicted and sentenced to 50 years for defending himself against an AB member. This is what "justice" looks like in Tarrant County.

sunflowergoddess5.wixsite.com/hopeonappeal
"Anthony "Scotty" Bennett, a young queer dad with no criminal record, was sentenced to 50 years in prison after what we believe was a politically motivated prosecution that twisted self-defense into premeditated m*rder of a well known white supremist gang member. We are raising funds for experienced appellate representation to challenge this conviction and sentence. The conviction came within a week of a high-profile political assassination, creating a climate where any criticism of right-wing extremism was viewed with suspicion. The jury was selected just days after this politically charged event. The jury was coerced by the prosecution to make an example out of Scotty and to give him the 50 year sentence."

The print / the block

Took three days to carve this linocut, I'm pretty proud.

Just paid the last bill for my first trial. All told, it cost $20,727.94 to be not guilty in Tarrant County. I painted this for one of the associate attorneys that to this day is one of my most staunch defenders. Innumerable people helped in so many capacities that currency can never repay.

Jon was murdered in Denton a week ago and the pigs still let his killer roam free. The same pigs I helped Jon escape numerous times when they came to steal his whole life away for the "crime" of being a symbol of visible poverty because his home was a tent. 1/2

I'm free now on a much more restrictive and costly bond after another slumber party in lockup. I will be back in court next week but today I'm free and that's all that matters to me.

Here's some thoughts from inside:

One year ago today, twelve jurors winked and smiled at me as they delivered a verdict of Not Guilty. They sat through five arduous days of theatrical lies and cut straight to the truth in less than 45 minutes of deliberation. For them, I am eternally grateful but my fight is far from finished- 1/2
