People in the West Bank were afraid that this was coming - that once Gaza had been sufficiently subdued, they'd be next. Please don't miss this because of all the noise about Iran.

The Internet is cut off from all of Gaza and all communication networks have also stopped, completing the execution ring around our necks, in addition to the interruption of food, the interruption of medicine, the interruption of security, our separation from life and the introduction of the

they're escalating so swiftly that they will overextend themselves in some places. i hope they get caught flat footed many many times over, and that these brave people can find safety

We need to fundamentally appreciate those on the streets of LA are there because ICE + the fucking military took family members, neighbors + co-workers - this isn't an abstraction. What would you do if it happened to you? How would you feel about someone crying more over a Waymo than your child?

Since the start of the protests, LAPD has arrested 385 people trying to stop ICE from kidnapping their neighbors. Over 300 people have been detained by ICE so far. That # would be much higher if not for the disruptions & actions in the streets. @mayor.lacity.gov wants to help ICE boost #s

You remember that advice from six months ago that the correct response to authoritarianism is broadly "fuck you, make me"? This is where it plays in. Trump cannot possibly win the fight he's picking. Make him try.

Schumer stopped the Senate to announce that this happened, in the middle of debate on a bill where Democrats were collaborating with Republicans on crypto legislation. How you can compartmentalize these two things is beyond me.

There are orgs, socialist ones, anarchists attempting to overhaul our fucked up system, Black and Brown liberation orgs, that have been doing The Work for years and will have best practices for things like tear gas and crowd safety with armed opposition. They're a resource right now.

Three days now without a single donation. Pregnant Samaa and her family rely on donations to survive. With internet in Gaza down, she has no way to contact her supporters or to advocate for herself. Please donate as much as you can, and share this post for her. @mommunism.bsky.social 💚

Today is Eman's birthday. I sent her $25, and I hope next year I will be able to mail her a better gift, something personal, delivered to her permanent address. I know she loves to cook, so maybe something for her kitchen. ❤️ Please, offer Eman and her parents some support. They need our help.

On top of the famine, the internet and communications are being cut off. I am making a post so that my children do not die of hunger. I hope that the opinion of the post will contribute to collecting $300 and also quote the post. Vetted by @mommunism.bsky.social tinyurl.com/4yuyyun5

All the liberals telling people to sit down if “violence” (whatever that is) breaks out at their parade is really really awful.

🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨 For all that repost/quote/etc share Palestinian's posts 💕💸🍉 Communication services are effectively axed from Gaza Strip There have been account report of spotty access, but overall Gaza NEEDS their messages, their aid posts spread further than ever & more importantly met to survive

we don't need "moderate cases" for anything. trans feminism has always been radical and unacceptable to "moderates." "moderates" do not care about reason or logic because they're bigoted transphobic fascists and we do not need their approval to win our liberation.

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

Absolute fucking 🔥. "Over eight hours...people throwing back tear gas...throwing anything that they could to defend themselves...Border Patrol retreated. “And the hundreds of workers in the factories were able to escape. If any community was going to fight back without apology, it was this one."

Shocked, shocked Asheville city hall's combination of disastrous preparation failures, almost no rental assistance, refusing to use much of their rainy day fund, letting the chamber of commerce run policy and prioritizing the golf course have left the city in crisis after Helene #avlgov
