The protesters were killed with shotguns, rifles, and light machine guns wielded by FARAJA and Basij forces, not ballistic missiles fired by the Sepah or Artesh. How will these strikes destroy the capacity of the most basic armed security forces without killing untold civilians in the process?

I don't think Afropessimism is "us vs them". JonJon Moore did a workshop with @workshops4gaza.bsky.social in 2024 that I found helpful on this. I wonder if the readings are public?

PanAfricanism is also not "us vs them." There are plenty examples of international solidarity.

ICE cannot be reformed.

Trump empowered ICE for the express purpose of creating shock troops to impose autocracy.

Today, ICE is comprised of the most sadistic and evil people in our entire society.

ICE agents joined up in order to kidnap and murder people, as they were promised.

Abolish ICE.

Two weeks later, UPDATE:
Same white guy (our appointment times overlap?) said we needed to have a conversation about what happened 2 weeks ago and I said “No, I am not available for that conversation. How are other things?”
I went into acupuncture today wearing my No More Police sweatshirt, pictured below. A white man across from me in the waiting room asked “Can we have a non-emotional conversation about the message on your sweatshirt?” And I said, “No.”

There's certainly overlap with internationalism. I think there have been many discussions, writings, etc. on this.

I'm not sure PanAfricanists are offering a prescription for freedom, but they do suggest that being in solidarity with African liberation is necessary.

This child looks devastated. We know from the courageous actions of his fellow detainees (his “fellow detainees!” He’s five!!!) in Dilley that there are others like him.

I honestly don’t care if maximalist demands are bad strategic politics. We should make them because they’re important moral ones
Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

I don't think PanAfricanists are saying there's no hope for freedom but pointing out that the source of our oppression is the same, wherever we are in world. It would be impossible for Black people in the US to be liberated while Black people on the continent are still subjugated.
