10 martyrs, more than 40 injuries and about 600 displaced, as a result of the occupation's aggression on Jenin and its camp in the northern occupied West Bank

Israel released 90 hostages in Gaza then took 90 new hostages in the West Bank. This is what Israel does and this is the vile colonial violence it’s founded on, beyond any kind of reform

It should come as no surprise that the corporate leaders who raised funds for IOF soldiers, who depend heavily on the militias & exploitative labor in the DRC for resources, who fight against unions & workers at home, align so readily with this “mask-off” administration.

I implore you to acknowledge that the American people are f*cked from both sides of the duopoly. Yes, Trump & his cohorts are 🗑️- & Yes, the extreme racism & gaslighting of the Democratic Party fueled a live-streamed genocide treating student protesters as terrorist sympathizers

Huge fires are now raging in large areas of northern #Gaza, after they were set on fire by Israeli occupation forces during large scale demolitions. Beit Lahia and Tal al-Zaatar among the areas affected. #Palestine Photography: Khalil Al-Kahlout

Keep thinking it’s all disconnected. Keep thinking “what happens over there has nothing to do with what happens over here”. Impunity is not immunity. We pay for the greed of the corporate & ruling class in more ways than one. Or yeah, blame the wind

There is so much to unpack & process in the PERVERSIONS OF POWER witnessed over the past year. While punishing anyone that spoke up against the ongoing genocide they are still openly funding & fueling, the Democratic Party made an attempt to manipulate Black women into championing what was already
