Solidarity is about finding elements of similarity within difference. It is neither about sameness nor separateness.

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

Perhaps people connected to that university would at the very least want to raise some questions?

Hard to imagine a more obviously immoral policy than criminalizing those who act to stop genocide while continuing to send weapons to the country carrying out a genocide.
Many countries are doing this but the UK's ban on Palestine Action supporters is perhaps the most insane example. #LetGazaLive

Around 140 arrests
Outside the Royal Courts of Justice today, as the judicial review over the ban on Palestine Action began, approximately 150 people defied the ban.
Arrests took around 6hours to complete, with an estimated 140 arrests made.

Holidays that celebrate family and food are good. They are even better when they are decoupled from the elaborate control mythologies that help us settlers ignore the unresolved history of American genocide.

REMINDER: Gathering with family and sharing food is good. Unacknowledged genocide and the economic system it created through land theft, structural racism and ecological destruction, are bad.

Big news: California Attorney General Rob Bonta just led 17 states in filing a major amicus brief supporting our case, LA Press Club v. Noem — the case challenging the Trump administration’s use of federal force against peaceful protesters and journalists in Los Angeles.
We’re leading a coalition of 17 AGs in support of journalists and protesters challenging DHS’s dangerous use of force during the Los Angeles protests this past summer.
We will continue to oppose threats to free, safe speech wherever and whenever they arise.

From a #climate comms perspective I push "disaster profiteering" as an effective frame for all these techno-fix start ups.
