"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.
Ya Ghazze Habibti—Gaza, My Love
An anarchist from occupied Palestine makes the case for an anti-colonial understanding of the situation and explores what it means to act in solidarity with Palestinians.

These are the ridiculous things that happen in our country when a child is uninsured. Even short gaps in coverage put families at risk of huge, devastating medical bills.

I've been working on this issue for 20+ years now and I am tired of reading stories like this. We can do better.

The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

A message today from my friend Tasneem in Gaza:

"I'm drowning in the rain. 😣😭"

The conditions are dire for the displaced civilians. They rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to Tasneem so she can feed her children and raise funds to escape. And to others. 💕

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

When Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old from Texas, asked doctors about terminating her high-risk pregnancy to save her life, they assured her she had nothing to worry about.

Then she died of preeclampsia.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.

The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.

Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

Okay, i admit it. I have no idea what will happen next.

TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.”

The absolute truth. The US soldiers who have been using nazi insignia for years were never ignorant of the nazis' evil. They WANT to be evil. It is thrilling and transgressive to them.
This is not in disagreement with OP at all, but I think we all quietly, lowkey imagine the very funny "are we the baddies" bit could be a real thing. But like, they know they're the bad guys. They think it makes them cool. Later, after you destroy them and their movement, they'll pretend otherwise
Is there any point, when you’re threatening to break a judge’s car windows so you can detain the teenage Supreme Court intern he’s driving home for protection, that you’re like huh, maybe I’m the bad guy?

Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

Cannot be stressed enough that Black trans women were immediately sidelined in the early 2020s. Just pushed out of the convo immediately, even though transmisogynoir has always been an emergency and Black trans women are disproportionately targeted
Read this piece I contributed to in 2017. This piece, talking with the friends and families of murdered Black trans women, still haunts me to this day.

Pieces like this are just not printed anymore.

I think it’s important for people to see these posts from the president in their natural habitat to give them context because truly what Trump is saying here is that his opposition should be murdered and that speaking, the truth is the equivalent of sedition. This is an incredibly dangerous combo.

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!
