Her statement is alarming as it equates dissent (Antifa) with foreign cartels, a move that imports the justification for lethal military action abroad to sanction extreme state violence at home. A terrifying intent to employ state-sponsored terror and extrajudicial methods against a perceived enemy

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

“If you do not agree at this point, two years in, that the state that needs to be demilitarized–and deradicalized frankly–is the state that is committing genocide, then you’re part of the problem.”

Settler-colonialism has dispossessed Palestinians of their land and their right to return.

Why did the Palestinians have to pay for the sins of European gov’ts — who refused to take back Jewish refugees from the Holocaust?

How can ppl come back from the Holocaust and do the same to others?

Apparently saying “from the river to the sea” is antisemitic. Apparently asking the Israeli regime how many kids they killed today, is antisemitic.

Apparently talking about how many Palestinian martyrs there are, is antisemitic.

Everything is antisemitic at this point. What a joke.

Two years on, the memory of October 7 returns as both catastrophe and possibility, reminding us that both resistance and surrender are choices haunted by loss. But two years on, we also learned something else: they are defeatable.
