On October 1, the Israeli military attacked the Sumud flotilla as it attempted to break the siege around Gaza to deliver much-needed humanitarian aid. Protests ensued.

But another flotilla is right behind Sumud. We present a statement from one of the participants.

1. Fascism is not a moment in history. It is a strategy of power: obedience enforced through hierarchy and the use of force. It thrives on division, exclusion, and the persecution of those who refuse to submit.

Anti-fascism is the refusal to accept such abuse of power. 🧵

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

"A wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living
I believe in birth
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port."

Kakuya Shakur
Just now -

At approximately 1:15 PM on September
25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her
last earthly breath. Words cannot describe
the depth of loss that | am feeling at this
time. | want to thank you for your loving
prayers that continue to anchor me in the
strength that | need in this moment. My spirit
is overflowing in unison with all of you who
are grieving with me at this time.
Sending much love and appreciation to you
all,

Kakuya Shakur

ISIS is taking advantage from the chaos in Syria. Since the now interim government took power on 08.12.2024 until 20.09.2025, ISIS has carried out 153 attacks on North and East Syria. Today, the SDF forces once again successfully repelled an attack. 5 SDF fighters felt martyr, one was wounded.
