The Salem Family @thesalemfamily.bsky.social · 1d

Ziyad sent me this video, asking for our help as he stands in front of their destroyed home.

They want to return to Sheikh Radwan and start to rebuild their lives. Please, help them cover transportation costs and rent for a nearby apartment, so they can slowly begin.

Just as indigenous people continue to struggle for land back on this continent, indigenous Palestinians continue to fight Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing on their land.

Landback is a longstanding, international movement to return indigenous lands to indigenous people.

Indigenous People are distinct populations relative to the dominant colonial culture of their country. They usually have their own language, cultures, and traditions influenced by living relationships with their ancestral homelands—and are tied to their own land in a variety of ways.

We see landback movements across Turtle Island in the Six Grandfathers mountains in Black Hills of South Dakota (also known as Mount Rushmore,) in the Northern Sierra Mountains, home to the Maidu people, and in the sacred mountain of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

For Palestinians, landback takes the form of the right of return, a key principle in international law that guarantees all people’s right of voluntary return to their place of origin.

Of course, there are major distinctions between the colonization of Turtle Island and that of Palestine. It’s hard to even talk about the first as a monolith, since the various peoples of the “Americas” endured colonization in different ways and at different points in time.

says, “What we’re reclaiming when we say ‘land back’ is our power. Land back involves an actual shift in the power structure not of just the United States, but the world.”

Land theft, genocide and ethnic cleansing can never be justified. The right of return is not only a Palestinian cause, it is an international demand for landback that resonates globally.

When we say landback for Palestine, it is a call for the freedom of all people, from the river to the sea, and across the planet.

Frankly, if you get to the point where you're getting your dick sucked and haven't worked out that the person doing it also has one, you sound like a dogshit lay, and you should be thankful she deigned to give you the time of day, let alone ruining her fucking life.

This is rancid. Are we going to start applying this to every cishet man who lies about his marital status? Why the fuck should a trans woman have to disclose that she is trans? "I don't swing that way", my brother in Christ you clearly fucking do. Enjoy it and stop ruining trans women's lives.

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword.

We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

Donald Trump calls Columbus and Israel “giants of Western civilization.” But both represent genocide, erasure and dispossession.

This Columbus Day, honor Indigenous resistance in the Americas and in Palestine.

“YOUR LEGACY WILL ALWAYS BE GENOCIDE”

Last night, multiple protestors called out former Vice President Kamala Harris during her book tour stop in DC.

Kamala Harris says she isn’t the president, but she was vice president while bombs rained on Gaza and tens of thousands were killed with US weapons.

You know the US left is weak when liberals can just usurp that label without question. Liberals in the Philippines will never dare to call themselves left or even progressive. We've demarcated the line too clearly.
