This Aimé Césaire quotation is relevant again today.

In recognition of the Day of Mourning the United American Indians declared on this day in 1970—in hopes of offering important context to colonial mythology about early Thanksgivings—we offer the story of Metacomet’s War:

crimethinc.com/Metacomet
"No one colonizes innocently, no one colonizes with impunity either; a nation which colonizes, a civilization which justifies colonization and therefore force, is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased."

—Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism
Since the declaration of the supposed ceasefire, the Israeli military has violated it an average of ten or more times a day, murdering hundreds of Palestinians, including scores of small children.

There is no peace in Gaza, nor in the West Bank. As the genocide continues, so must our resistance.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

You absolutely have the constitutional right to record ICE, Border Patrol, or any law enforcement officer in public, and with everything happening in Charlotte right now, people need to understand that clearly.
