Donations and attention to Palestinians always drop off during the holidays, and we're approaching a really long one. Use the time w/your loved ones to educate them about the fictitious 'ceasefire,' ongoing settler colonial genocide, and life-saving nature of mutual aid.

I just want to sync and keep my Kobo Overdrive ebook highlights, man. I shouldn't have to deal with paid third-party services, remember yet another password, or hack into the device root system, know "CLI skills" and whatnot

used to scoff at the idea of hunger strikes. who cares? you need a society with conscience for that. but maybe I'm starting to understand the helplessness and desperation

I don’t know how to break it to the white people but these three countries actually get on extremely well economically already and it’s just that the US for some bizarre reason has extraordinarily decided to upend the world order that it has so painstakingly built to its absolute advantage

Once again, the @nytimes manages to tell the harrowing story of the Gwangju Massacre without once mentioning that the city-wide uprising it inspired was put down with brutal force with the approval and vital assistance of US President Jimmy Carter and the Pentagon.

If you can, please make this great addition to your personal library!

Also, if you are still buying from Amazon, what are doing? They only present some reasonable discounts and we all know at what cost.

Please help us share this post as widely as possible so that people are not buying Refaat's book through places like Amazon, which are actively collaborating with the Israeli government to make Gz uninhabitable. That would be a terrible irony.

This is what happened in Korea in 1980 when a renegade general declared martial law and slaughtered demonstrators in the streets of Gwangju. Hundreds were killed. Yet President Carter gave US military support to the suppression of the uprising. I broke that story. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

The US response to a dictatorship’s repression in Gwangju in 1980 was even worse than we thought.
