Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way
Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.
Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Destroying a $30,000 government vehicle to wrongfully arrest 3 American citizens. Is that what the administration means by “looking for waste, fraud, and abuse?” Because I think we just found some.

True crime offerings like "Monsters" are said to act as a form of support for the Menendez brothers. It's worked for them. But in the wake of Marcellus Williams' death, I interrogate how race and privilege play into who garners Hollywood advocacy and who doesn't: www.huffpost.com/entry/menend...
The Glaring Issues No One Is Talking About In The Menendez Brothers Case
Amid a controversial Netflix series and high-profile support, the siblings convicted of murdering their parents may soon walk. But that could present a double standard.

WHEW. This sums up all of the institutional rollbacks on DEIA in a nutshell: "I was reminded that symbolism, without substance, is always the first thing to go when power shifts...That what feels powerful in the moment can be undone with a single political calculation.": newsone.com/6072894/mayo...
Op-Ed: Bowser Gave Up The Mural. We Can’t Give Up The Movement
The presence of murals, parades, and “historic firsts” doesn’t always mean we’re moving forward. In fact, it’s often used to pacify us while the systems that harm us remain untouched.

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians.

And instead of Americans understanding that we’re now under imminent threat of martial law and tyranny, we’ll get a month of think pieces about what the President of the United States meant by his UNAMBIGUOUS statement.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
