Happy solstice, happy Yalda, happy Yule. It's the reason for the season!
Hope everyone gets to spend some quality time with their loved ones on this longest of nights, the Earth will stand still for the next three days and then the days start getting longer again; holy darkness birthing Light.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.
Here we are again.
We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

“Life in Gaza for the past two years has been a process of losing everything visible — our families, homes, streets,” @mohamhawish.bsky.social writes. It also means losing what cannot be seen: “the ability to speak without fear of being monitored by a machine.”

I obtained video of two FBI agents visiting an anti-ICE protester not charged with any crime.
While the media continue to mock Trump's war on "Antifa" as legally impossible, the FBI is quietly implementing it with investigations like these:

It feels as if we’re living frozen in time. Between a world we can no longer sustain and a future that’s asking us to wake up. Where nothing feels real anymore. Where everyone is waiting for something to shake things up. Because things can no longer go on this way.

These times require a lot of sabr (perseverance), which I struggle with more than with shukr (gratitude); the two pillars of faith.

If Trump died tomorrow, your MAGA neighbor is still gonna want immigrants deported because their ancestors took their grandparents to public lynchings.
Trump is not the root of the problem. He is a symptom of it. This is why we keep talking about decolonization. The problem is bigger than him.

Every single Black Revolutionary leader saw the problem of collective liberation the same way.
The Black Panthers inspired and helped build Brown Berets and Young Lords.
Malcolm, Huey, Baldwin, Morrison, Assata- they were all for Palestine.
Our enemy is white supremacy.

Do not capitulate in advance; not to fascism, not to AI, not the conservative turn which generally comes with hard times.
Their control is based almost entirely on fear & surrender. The only real efficacy of a panopticon is that people police themselves bc they think they're being watched.
