The IDF siege of Al Shifa led to the death of hundreds & Israeli snipers murdered patients trying to reach the hospital The Hind Rajab Foundation has started legal proceedings against an Israeli Ukrainian on holiday in Chile who served as an IDF sniper & took part in that siege

Little know fact Jesse Jackson named The Canary I was in camp at Occupy London when he visited to speak to us. He told us we were “the canaries in the coal mine, warning of the dangers.” When I came to name our fledgling media outlet a few years later, his words came to mind. Rest in Power ✊🏾❤️

Remember when Starmer and his allies in press spent weeks claiming Corbyn was an antisemite because he mispronounced Epstein’s surname? Just a reminder of the batshit media environment that brought us here.

Screenshot of news article from 2019 from The I Paper headlined “Why Corbyn’s mispronunciation of Epstein’s name matters to British Jews”

Keir Starmer and his chief croney Morgan McSweeney are finally being hoisted on their own petards They allied with the very worst humans on this planet to prevent the left from taking power. Now, those alliances are finally, finally being exposed to disgrace them. In the bin with them both.

Half the witch hunt against the Left hung out together on Epstein Island The other half knew about it and still considered them allies They must ALL be driven out of politics if we’re to stand any chance of healing our country

The reckoning white America needs to have with itself right now is huge This is not a sudden catastrophe, unfathomable transformation from democracy to fascism For many people, The US has been exactly what it is today from its very inception That’s not a gotcha. It’s just a fact.

“Kamala warned us” Fuck you Palestinians warned you Black people warned you The Left warned you Half the international community warned you The US slide into fascism has been long and slow. Many have been falsely imprisoned or killed by it over decades. It just finally came for you.

There are *still* Americans who think the country is only *in danger* of sliding into fascism They think they’re at the “First they came for” section of the Niemoller poem The reality is, they’re at “And then they came for me”.

The Reichstag Fire moment is coming for the desperate Trump regime ONLY the regime is to blame for the chaos they’ve created Don’t do their PR for them by blaming anyone else. Especially those who fight back. You don’t defeat fascism with stirring rounds of kumbaya. You just don’t.

One of the most inspiring things these past few years has been watching people defy hate Yes it’s crushing & terrifying to see evil rise But the defiance of good people, refusing to become bad, has to be one of the most soul edifying things in this world Caring is a choice WE get to make

Know what broadens the mind? Books (text & audio), travel, & being around people who move through the world in a different race, language, class or other way from you. It’s sure as eggs not giving headspace to right-wing conspiraloons on social media.

My warrior era is done I’m into my care era Selfcare, community care, extending tenderness & kindness around the places & spaces I move I still have teeth. But I think the world has enough fighters right now It needs more healers & carers providing hope & respite through the storm

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

I wish liberals would quit tying our basic human rights to Capitalism. We shouldn't have to accept rampant commercialism, usery, and gross inequality in exchange for being able to live life openly as women, queers or other marginalised groups. We can do better than this
