Letter from George Habash of the PFLP congratulating the ANC on its 77th anniversary, 1989. “We are very sure that you are going to win your freedom, and also the people of Palestine are sure to win in their struggle.”
Florida tried to create "Alligator Alcatraz."
The Miccosukee Tribe stood up and sued. As a result, Alligator Alcatraz was officially shut down today.
We need to thank the Miccosukee Nation for their courage and attention to this fight; this victory wouldn't have happened without their commitment to protecting our environment.
"israel" was committing genocide long before October 7, 2023. The genocide of the Palestinian people has been an ongoing event, at varying degrees and speeds, for nearly a century.
The UN actually legitimized this genocide in 1947.
Mujahid Bani Mufleh was released from prison after 14 months. No report exists that captures the Zionism. We simply don’t have the methods to quantify or narrate it. The Israeli project is simply beyond the scope of humanity.

Today in 1967, an entire mining town in Bolivia was massacred in its sleep because it pledged a few days' wages to Che Guevara.
The men who ordered it were trained and paid for by Washington. Almost nobody outside the Andes knows this happened. 🧵

“It is not enough to hate and believe in the past to make a revolution. Hatred and belief in the past are sufficient prods for the rebellion phase. We must love and be future-oriented if we wish to carry out the revolution.”
This was the fwd written in Leila's 1973 autobiography by Ghassan Kanafani.
Lebanese environmental activist Mona Khalil has died from wounds sustained in an Israeli strike earlier this month, family and friends say.
For more than 20 years she was a dedicated & stubborn protector of Lebanon’s sea turtles.
She had stayed at her home on the beach in Mansouri, southern Lebanon, despite the war.
I had the privilege of interviewing her in 2017 when she was resisting the construction of a beach resort backed by powerful local players.
Israel killed Mona Khalil in South Lebanon.
On June 6, they dropped a bomb on her home in Mansouri — flattening it.
Mona, an environmental activist, dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast.
She died of her injuries today.
