Flies. Flies on patients, on baby’s faces and rash-covered skin, on wounds, on food, on those killed, on human beings living in concrete rubble.
Buzzing of drones overhead. Buzzing of flies everywhere. No relief. No clean water. No humanity.
May Gaza haunt the world.
An update from Jessica & her ask for support from all of you:
"Hello Good People of the World,
First, I want to thank you for all your prayers, love and support. I feel you all close to me in heart and mind on a daily basis...
On Dec. 4, 1969, Black Panther Party Illinois Chairman Fred Hampton was assassinated by the Chicago Police & the FBI. The police are not here to "protect us" or to "fight crime" they are here as an arm of the state to stop us from organizing for our freedom
BREAKING: US police today are chemically gassing "Cop City" protestors in Georgia as they try to block construction of a military-style urban police training academy. The same police agencies already killed one protestor last Fall.
The protest is peaceful. The cops are not.⤵️
BREAKING: Canada's brutal national police are again arresting Indigenous peoples trying to protect their own lands - this time the Pacheedaht nation in British Columbia. Brave reporting by Brandi Morin.
The RCMP has to be the most anti-Indigenous police force in the world.⤵️
Two years ago today my friend and climate hero Jessica Reznicek was jailed as a "terrorist" for vandalizing the Dakota Access pipeline. An autocratic judge – Rebecca Ebinger – imposed a barbaric 8-year sentence.
Sign the petition to free Jessica.⤵️

This Firday, August 11, will mark 2 yrs of Jess' 8 yr sentence. As she sits inside cinder block walls, we want to use this moment to drum up support for her & let all water protectors know that they are not alone and they are not forgotten for fighting the fossil fuel industry.
"Reznicek’s overly harsh sentence highlights the U.S. government’s bi-partisan tolerance of the oil industry harming the climate and protection of corporate “victims”, while bringing the full force of the law against those who oppose them." @awkwordisdead https://t.co/jdHXSSEknQ
Canadian oil corporation Enbridge has been ordered to shut down its Line 5 tar sands oil pipeline and pay the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians $5.1 million. [Video] https://t.co/YOCV6b400v
A reminder that Canada (and many other countries) sends in these guys to take down Wet’suwet’en land defenders.
Indigenous peoples are criminalized, surveilled, killed for protecting water, land, life. We’ve been trying to tell yous. Mother Nature does not negotiate. #wildfire
BREAKING: A leader of the bail fund for "Cop City" protestors in Georgia says military police with machine guns used a battering ram to break down the door to his house to arrest 3 peaceful activists. "Police were ready to kill."
This is state terrorism.
Less than a week before City Council will decide on whether or not to fund Cop City, Atlanta police have arrested three first amendment activists they believe are associated with the @ATLSolFund. They raided their home, taking phones and laptops.
This morning, APD raided The Teardown House and arrested three organizers with @ATLSolFund.
The Solidarity Fund provides legal defense and bail support for first amendment protected activities in Atlanta and the surrounding area.
On April 4th, 200+ watched our international webinar about the escalation of state repression during the climate crisis. Speakers from across the globe represented: @YACAPhilippines, @AdalahJustice, @ATLSolFund, @grundrechte1, and @COPINHHONDURAS

BREAKING: Georgia police are again jailing climate activists without trial for fighting the misguided "Cop City" training complex. Three people face 20-yr prison terms for distributing flyers as state officials try to criminalize advocacy.
This is Mob-style intimidation.
