Palestinian families like Ruba's are being starved to death in Israel's genocide. They're exhausted & very desperate. Please help by sharing & donating:

American peace activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi would've turned 27 today. But Israeli forces killed her 11 months ago.

Both Biden & Trump did nothing to seek accountability.

Instead the US sent Israel $12 billion in weapons & another $4 billion in aid.

And then Israeli settlers killed another American.

For real! Now that it's been a couple of months, I'm feeling a lot more tame about it 😅

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

This is so fucking scary and detrimental

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government.

That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.

The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them. The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

Hell of a photo
