Witnessed firsthand a disturbing scene where Foster dismissed war crimes with cavalier responses. This isn't leadership; it's a dereliction of duty and no moral clarity to explicitly stand against genocide. Thanks to Qasim, who isn't afraid to speak honestly in this moment.
Democratic Congressman @repbillfoster.bsky.social repeatedly voted to fund and arm Netanyahu even as he commits genocide, refuses to even acknowledge the famine he helped fund, & is now having police remove people protesting at his town hall.

More and more I see Liberated Zones as part of the strategy for truly self determined communities. Community control + mutual aid + direct democracy = local power. We need community-led politics, non-profits and grassroots, community based organizations unified toward municipalized economies.

in mourning what ‘could have been’ we fail to see the beauty in what is.

One of the last bastions of the ‘commons’ where people can convene without having to pay anything upfront. Being able to connect with community, utilize resources, etc.
I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

A new report aims to designate pro-Palestine organizations as domestic terrorists, using these labels to silence anti-imperialist, movements. This is a clear attempt to criminalize dissent and suppress those fighting for human rights.
