Our responsibility is to be in active solidarity with Palestinians on all fronts. That means defending their right to protest and free speech, donating disposable income to families in Gaza, drawing connections to struggles around the world, and most importantly supporting their right to resist.

The ruling class has made clear they have no intention of stopping Israel. The U.S. government has been invested in the Zionist campaign for over 75 years. There is too much money in war and displacement for us to count on anyone but each other to help the Palestinian people.

We are living through what Israel hopes is the final stages of its decades-long campaign against Palestinian life and the right to return. The Zionist regime is bombing hospitals, cutting off aid, restricting access to food, limiting clean drinking water, and gunning down teenagers in the street.

During this holy month of Ramadan genocidal lunatic Benjamin Netanyahu, with the support of white supremacist lunatic Donald Trump, has vowed to murder every Palestinian baby, child, and adult to create a white supremacist ethno-state on stolen land.

Palestine is bleeding out, and the U.S. government is twisting Israel’s knife in Gaza’s wounds.

It has been over 500 days of relentless genocide, the death toll has crossed 50k, and the architects of imperialism are not hiding their plans to build condos on the rubble of Palestinian homes.

Trayvon’s life was taken by a white vigilante w/ self-imposed power as an extension of the police state, and his tragic murder ignited a movement that woke up millions in defense of Black life. We owe it to him to stand tall and fight for the world they deserved. We need you. Happy Birthday TrayvonπŸ•ŠοΈ

Malu BrooksπŸ’₯ from @dreamdefenders.bsky.social, bringing this fire reminder for the role of activist archivists during "shock and awe"--"We no longer armchair revolutionaries...we're using academia for our people"

What’s important is we still have power and time to organize against the far right agenda. Building power with each other, in spite of the state, is our mandate!

This is our friendly reminder that executive orders aren’t legislation, but directives on how the federal gov’t should be moving according to the administration. They inform how the state distributes resources, but are not yet laws.πŸ—£οΈπŸ—£οΈπŸ—£οΈπŸ—£οΈ

We back outside at Malcolm X Park in DC to honor the legacy of #DrKing and protest Trump’s Inauguration✊🏾

The 2024 election and the last four years under Biden have exposed the ruling class’ staunch prioritization of amassing wealth and protecting a far-right agenda. We will not stand by and allow our lives to be traded in for blue bills and shareholder value.

Every day working people see how the ruling class and their institutions work exactly as they were designed. The increased wealth inequality and proliferation of far-right violence will continue unless we organize our neighborhoods and fight back!

Today we are at the #PeoplesMarch reaffirming our commitment to organizing poor, Black + Brown, working people toward our vision for a radical socialist future that Black women and queer people lead.

While millions of Black and Brown people spend their lives in prison for nonviolent offenses, the ruling class gets a high five and to-go box for committing full-fledged felonies.

Trump was just sentenced to...nothing. Judge Juan Merchan ruled "unconditional discharge," which means the president-elect won't see jail time, probation, fines, or community serviceβ€”nothing.

60 years after assassination of Malcolm X, a lawsuit aims to uncover the truth The outcome of this lawsuit will have broad ramifications for movements facing state surveillance and repression today.

While the U.S. throws another $8B in weapons to β€œIsrael”, California is using slave labor from incarcerated people to fight wildfires.

We are and have always been disposable to the ruling class. Organize accordingly.

Biden is sending "Israel" $8 BILLION in weapons to sustain the genocide of Palestinians. The U.S. will write blank checks to ensure the Zionist entity can continue to murder generations of families and expand their imperial violence into the region.

Joe Biden's legacy will be genocide.

#DDisReading Revolutionary Suicide by Huey P Newton
His first autobiography, this book is a must read for Black organizers. He's an expert storyteller and does a great job at crafting the scene.

H.L.T Quan's "Become Ungovernable: An Abolitionist Feminist Ethic for Democratic Living" applies a Black feminist analysis to the history of governability as a tool to deny the humanity of formerly enslaved Africans.

Reading level: Academic with some smooth jazz

The man who, in 2018, called our pledge against state violence a β€œmanifesto” and this year supported deporting students who protested for Palestine, could oversee the Department of Defense.😐
