Since the declaration of the supposed ceasefire, the Israeli military has violated it an average of ten or more times a day, murdering hundreds of Palestinians, including scores of small children.
There is no peace in Gaza, nor in the West Bank. As the genocide continues, so must our resistance.

LA Councilwoman Traci Park has not acknowledged a public records request for *7 months* RE: her office’s communications with Flock Safety lobbyists. The law requires a response within 10-days of receiving it. Might end up suing to get them.

Bumf vol 1 by Joe Sacco is really interesting and i don’t know why it passed me by til now.
i’m not sure how incisive it is as a critique of the Obama administration specifically, tho i think if it came out during the Bush admin it would’ve hit harder for readers.
we getting a vol 2?

"don't call them ICE *agents,* they're not REAL law enforcement, they're thugs that come out of groups like the Proud Boys"
okay but what if I told you that "real" law enforcement came out of those groups too, from the local to the federal? there's a reason people said "abolish cops" in 2020

ICE/BP’s next targets are reportedly Charlotte and New Orleans.
Two things:
1) If they had the capacity to hit many cities at once, rather than pick on one or two at a time, they would.
2) Moving south seems to confirm speculation that they’re leaving Chicago because it got cold.
