The Israeli military is currently attacking the Thousand Madleens flotilla as they attempt to deliver much-needed aid to people in Gaza who are suffering famine as a consequence of the Israeli blockade.

Read this statement from one of the participants in the flotilla:

You shouldn't underestimate the government's intent on following thru on these operations. That's why lawyers saying things like "Trump can't do that! The law doesn't allow it!" is so dangerous.

Plenty of examples to pull from: 40s-50s red scare, COINTELPRO, cold war COIN, post 9/11 "anti-terror"

For years, local governments & police departments have cooperated with federal agencies through the Joint Terrorism Task Forces. Now, through Trump's new NPSM-7 directive, these task forces will focus on “leftist” groups.

History shows us what happens when our movements are targeted by the feds.

In NSPM-7, “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence,” President Trump directs the Justice Department, the FBI, and other national security agencies and departments to fight his version of political violence in America, retooling a network of Joint Terrorism Task Forces to focus on “leftist” political violence in America. This vast counterterrorism army, made up of federal, state, and local agents would, as Trump aide Stephen Miller said, form “the central hub of that effort.”

NSPM-7 directs a new national strategy to “disrupt” any individual or groups “that foment political violence,” including “before they result in violent political acts.”

“The records show that the police retroactively created a separate document about the Flock search a week after our article was published, in which they justify the search by saying they were concerned for her safety.”

NEW: In May, a Texas police department said they used the powerful Flock surveillance network against a woman who had an abortion "for her safety"

Newly obtained court records show it was a 'death investigation,' and they considered charging her with a crime

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Well, yeah, we're suing ICE.

This wasn't really a hard decision. As little faith as we have in institutions, we recognize the value of drawing visible lines in the sand. We drew ours personally a while ago, but better late than never.

May every protester be freed and may this occupation end.

KNEECAP IS NOT THE STORY

but

Solidarity is part of the story. The ways each of us can express it and join decolonial struggles (to better stand with Gaza) is a story worth studying. For this reason, Kneecap's story is connected and has value.

"...the reason governments, universities, and other public institutions... want to quash pro-Palestine speech is because they too understand the danger it poses...

When wide swathes of the public... view liberation from the perspective of Indigenous people, it can only amount to revolution."

nicole froio @nicolefroio.bsky.social · 1d

This week, I wrote about how the liberation of Palestine would require widespread decolonial action. Through an analysis of Kneecap's body of work and their unapologetic solidarity, I write about how Palestine challenges the very world we live in today, for @theflytrapmedia.com (free post):

Censorship of Pro-Palestine Speech in the Music Industry Shows the Power of Demands for Decolonization

The liberation of Palestine is a threat to how we live today—that’s precisely why we should keep calling for it.

A promotional graphic for a t-shirt design. The black and white illustration of a possum curled up with a copy of "Maus" by Art Spiegelman is encircled by text that reads "Trash Fascism, Not Books." Around the design is a ribbon with text that reads "New Shirts."
