BREAKING: President Biden has commuted the life sentence of Indigenous political prisoner Leonard Peltier, allowing him to serve the rest of his sentence on house arrest. Despite pleas from supporters, the White House refused to issue a full pardon.
Hundreds of thousands of people have been rallying against Yoon in South Korea for the past few months, and Yoon is using the same playbook that the Rhee, Park and Chun military regimes used to suppress the people’s resistance.

UPDATE: I have been just informed that in fact #Kathrin docked in Alexandria, Egypt, AFTER unloading the shipment for Israel in Albania. Last night, Kathrin docked in Turkey and activists boarded the ship and prevented it from loading or unloading.
What a saga. The effort of preventing weapons from getting into the hands of an army which is plausibly committing genocide cannot be left to individuals. It is the responsibility of STATES!

#BlockTheBoat: The arms ship MV Kathrin reappears in the port of Alexandria, Egypt.

Dozens of striking San Francisco hotel workers and supporters are risking arrest as they block traffic on Powell Street in front of @Marriott’s Westin St. Francis.

The Biden administration was never 'drawn into' Israel's extermination campaign in Gaza. This pervasive narrative, that the United States is a reluctant party, and Biden cannot 'restrain Israel', masks our material reality, which is that the US is a leading, willing participant.

Thinking about UNRWA’s commissioner general calling the horrors of the genocide in Gaza akin to the horrors of the Holocaust and WWII. As a friend noted, no UN official has used this language ever.
