Got emotional reading a passage about a little Black girl who wants to grow up to be a Dodger just like Jackie Robinson and thinks that Harriet Tubman looks like she had a good throwing arm
I want Black kids to live in a world where those are the connections they are invited to make
Since the Gaza ceasefire, Israel has intensified its operations against Palestinians in the West Bank, conducting military raids in the north and increasing settler attacks on Palestinians harvesting olive groves.

Remember: what Trump (and Hegseth and Rubio) are doing to people on small boats in the Caribbean and East Pacific is what they will do to everyone else.
Stand up for these murdered people now or join their ranks down the line.

Ahmed Dader describes the horrors of surviving the Flour Massacre in Gaza: “I will need years for the scenes of that night to fade in my memory.”

The federal government is still at war against Los Angeles.
It has not stopped.
To turn this into an effective political movement, let us take the spark of widespread outrage against such acts and organize them into the fire that will burn the terror regime of "papers."
Never has it been clearer that “no one is free until Palestine is free” is not a chant but a warning, as we all stare into the abyss of another world war.
This is retaliation to massive and powerful labor strikes protesting new Panamanian gov policy that dismantles pensions for Banana workers. A reminder that Chiquita is rebranded United Fruit Company.

NO BUSINESS AS USUAL DURING GENOCIDE.
We're deep into the second year of this horror. Not another day. Not another minute.
Enough with the myth of Israel-as‑victim. The latest strike on Iran—killing civilians, including children—is not self‑defense. It’s aggression. A decades‑long pattern of impunity. Israel casts itself as wounded, weaponizing narrative to justify regional dominance mondoweiss.net/2025/06/isra...
@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
"Today the legacies of both Hall and Rodney demonstrate the imperative of organic intellectuals to confront authoritarian nationalism and forge global solidarity."

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously
But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her
First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people.
Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat.
As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.
the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled
In the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, "people of all races and backgrounds are putting their bodies on the line to protect their friends, their neighbors, their family members from these arrests," says @jeanguerre.bsky.social. "It is a beautiful thing to see."
Crowds at the LA Football Club chanting Fuck ICE!
Music to my ears!
If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options:

“If you’d like to run something up or if we can help give a push somewhere, please reach out. If it involves handcuffs on wrists, it’s probably worth pursuing."
There is growing consensus that Israel is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

"Detention Facilitates Deportation": Trump's Budget Bill Would Massively Increase ICE Jail Capacity
A doctor at nearby Nasser Hospital, which is barely functioning and unequipped to handle an influx of patients, toldThe New York Times that the facility received 19 of those killed in Tuesday's massacre. Most of the victims, according to Dr. Ahmad al-Farra, were children between the ages of 10 and 13, "many with gunshot wounds to the head or chest."
A doctor at Nassar Hospital says most of the 27 aid seekers murdered today by Israel were children between the ages of 10-13 with gunshot wounds to the head or chest.

The expectation that such acts of abject and deliberate violence would not shock the global population and result in pushback is delusional. Israel is destroying our norms, not Palestine solidarity movements only stating what customary IHL has always stated
“They classify Palestinians as under three categories: Hamas, Hamas supporters, and human shields or potential terrorists.”
‘Genocidio’ author Rula Jebreal joined @naomiaklein.bsky.social to discuss growing up in a Jerusalem orphanage under Israeli violence.
