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.

The challenges ahead, while daunting, are not unprecedented. The very things that Trump will target – dissent, solidarity, and resistance – are our greatest strengths, and we must use them to defend our people & planet, and to build power in pursuit of justice and liberation.

“What are they fearing?” asks @FranceskAlbs after being asked if she knew why 🇨🇦 government officials cancelled their meetings with her.

Canadian cowards, compradors & careerists. ✅

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!

As Musk and other capitalists funnel billions of dollars into the US presidential election, here’s a reminder from the late Filipino revolutionary Jose Maria C. Sison about how the bourgeoisie really sees “democracy.”

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

Is Egypt helping to transfer crucial military explosives to Israel’s genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza?

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.

After weeks on strike, we want the hotels to settle a contract that invests in this city.

[roqayah chamseddine @roqchams]

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.

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

.@FranceskAlbs official UN mandate is to investigate Israel’s crimes in Palestine. This is a baseless and embarrassing attempt to undermine her critical work and protect the US from complicity in their genocide

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

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.
