Yesterday, the zionist entity targeted and killed journalist Hossam Shabt. Hossam was the 208th journalist killed since Oct 7th. What most people don't know about Hossam is he was not only a journalist dedicated to revealing the daily nightmare he lived, but he was also an organizer...🧵

Israelis gathering at Sderot overlooking Gaza to watch the genocide unfolding. One of them told French paper Le Monde: “it’s the greatest show in town.”

They’re using binoculars to get a better look at the bombings.

The festival of death continues and expands.

i have been feeling overwhelmed by death lately. and i find myself frustrated that their tactic to overwhelm us is working. we need a moment to breath & rethink our strategies against Empire but the destruction does not stop.

The first person arrested by the Marines is an Army veteran who was on his way to work at the Veterans Administration. It appears he was arrested for crossing a yellow line which the Marines did not realize was not designed to exclude federal employees from reporting to work.

🧵 Trump & Hegseth have escalated violence & military force against the people of LA by calling in the national guard & marines, a move experts on authoritarianism are calling manufactured crisis. Protests over the weekend drew national attention as Angelenos defended their community against ICE.

the incredible @leilashami.bsky.social reminds us that the work of the revolution continues long after regime changes. the post-regime periods are both fertile & volatile, anything is possible. we must show up & act in solidarity.

here comes the liberals and copmela supporters with the i told you so's. it must be really nice to be able to choose to be willfully ignorant of one's own complicity to remain on one's blood tainted throne of superiority

friendly reminder to not fall into the criminal vs non-criminal narrative. this is used to determine whose deserving and whose not. criminal/non-deserving is defined by the state and the definition is quickly expanding. the language we use is directly related to the world we seek to build.

This is an incredible document in which #Trump claims ICE protests “constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States” and authorizes Pete Hegseth to deploy “regular Armed Forces” against protesters—anywhere in the US. (Notably, CA isn’t mentioned anywhere.)

mutual aid is not just resource distribution. MA can be militant, it can be educational, it can be spiritual. what defines mutual aid is individuals & communities collaborating & cooperating to meet each others needs & wants w/o state institutions or top-down power structures while affirming life

you cannot reform this structure of death thru promises of serving & protecting the community. This is not a few bad apples, this is by design. Stop acting surprised bc their violence now looks different.

Abolish ICE, Abolish the police, Abolish the military. they will never serve the people.

at every level of the state, cops are loyal to the exploitative elite class. cops are the decedents of the overseers of the plantation systems that enslaved and murdered millions of people. we will never truly now the exact number of lives destroyed and taken.
essssraaa.bsky.social
what about the racialized targeting of folks post major crisis like Katrina? The criminalization of folks demanding justice & the state's choice to use cops to protect property over life? Remember how those who refuse to remain silent during a genocide are painted & treated as a danger to society?
