Ever since full-scale invasion russia have been restoring monuments of #Lenin on occupied territories of #Ukraine bring back the spirit of the soviet empire to the region with the smell of bolshevik's rot associated with it.

#NoLoveForLenin #Antifascism

The war did not begin on October 7. It didn't start with Palestinians invading Israel. And it's not a war against Hamas, it's a war targeting all Palestinians and anyone who supports them.

This this a hundred times THIS! If you have the slightest hope for the future, a notion of reasonable preparedness or even just a conception of what meaningful relationship means, keep most of it offline and have plans in place for when you don't have access to what you left online.

Connect with your people offline. Take the chats to signal but also take your close relationships offline entirely. We need to be connected when they shut this all down.

What’s your organizing plan if things go dark? Where do you meet? Who picks up what work? How do we communicate?

Good morning! I’m at the Broadview Detention Facility in Chicago, Illinois. Several dozen protesters are here protesting against the ramp up in federal deportation raids in the Chicago area. Things are testy already, several attempted arrests from DHS.

It is definitely a genocide.
Also, laws and state institutions don't keep people safe and that's an important thing to remember.
"Legal obligations" are wet paper.

Kat Abughazaleh @katmabu.bsky.social · 22d

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.
