we need a coherent story/worldview/vision connecting us, not a laundry list

we need to be willing to join big tent coalitions not just our echo chambers

& we need to be flexible to meet the conjuncture - not so tied to our issue cuts or silos that we miss moments of opportunity

[asha ransby-sporn @ashapoesis]

& what i mean is that those of us wanting a more just & equitable world should be oriented toward strategies for speaking to people at scale & en masse - and work that constructs majorities to undermine these billionaires who will let the rest of us starve & die if we let them.

[asha ransby-sporn @ashapoesis]

i cannot stress enough how much we shouldnt just be carrying on w the same organizing & movement strategies, campaigns, or demands as usual.

a tech billionaire taking over fed government & gutting many of its (insufficient, yes, but needed) functions is a society-changing event.

Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands, UK and Switzerland all announced suspension of asylum applications from Syria. Austria even considering "expulsion program."

Migration policies are key pillar of racialized empire.

@taraghuveer Hi @taraghuveer, I'd love to send you some recommendations, but it seems I can't send you a DM. You could either (temporarily if you want) follow me back or I can try on LinkedIn.

De terrorist bleek een veroordeelde crimineel te zijn en onze leiders hadden het over een verstrengd asielbeleid. Verblinde tunnelvisie door eigen ideologie. Bestaande opdrachten gewoon uitvoeren ware voldoende geweest. We verwachten geen zelfkritiek over de hybris,

@EricCorijn Inderdaad @EricCorijn, David is al veel langer Goliath geworden. #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

[August Wagener @AugustWagener]

Who is David and who is Goliath? As so many other people, I condemn all acts of terrorism (including state terrorism) and I mourn every death equally. The truth is that many more Palestinians are dying. Many are kids...

@Finnair @HeadForPoints Is it because you are busy writing reviews that I have been waiting for over an hour to get someone on the line? How is that for customer service?🤔#priorities #CustomerService

Het zijn niet alleen de wapens die spreken in Oekraïne. Het is ook de onvoorstelbare moed van burgers die met hun lichaam als enige wapen blokkades opwerpen. #CivilResistance #UkraineUnderAttack

"To show how border regimes function is to reveal that there is no good argument for them."

I voted not coz I believe dramatic promises of 'change' but because who is in power determines terrain & material conditions of struggle.

Also, voting doesn't mean u can later somehow hold govt 'accountable;' its not how power works. Get involved in movements TODAY. #elxn44vote

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

Crisis is not at the border but of border itself.

Border casts racialized people as perpetual outsiders, erases Indigenous nations, reproduces anti-Black racial order, segments working class, is ideological basis for all deportations, & maintains global apartheid.

No borders!

[Climate Justice Coalition @CJ_Coalition]

Justice won’t be delivered by leaders or corporations.

World leaders are meeting at the global climate talks #COP26. Nov 6, we're taking action for #ClimateJustice. Join movements from across the world to build power for system change 🌍🌱

@ShanthuruP @foeeurope I've worked before with both, the amazing @foeeurope network (first in the steering group of YFoEE, later on as an external trainer/facilitator) and @ShanthuruP, a committed and skilled grassroots climate justice campaigner. Fingers crossed that you can explore collaboration!

I have got a few seconds of Satalite internet. We are being bombed by Pakistani drones. We are under direct invasion of ISI. Spread our words. Our civilians are under target.

This could be my last tweet forever if you dont hear from me in some days.

[Critical Resistance @C_Resistance]

Many reforms & strategies to fight policing are circulating right now, some are AMAZING like #DefundPolice; others, like #8cantwait, want to improve policing's war on us.

When in doubt, ask our chart questions, inspired by @prisonculture.

The goal is abolition. We fight to win.
