Less than two weeks ago, Frankie Jax No Mad, one of the unsung heroes of underground music in L.A., was detained by ICE and taken to the processing facility where he currently remains. Today at the magazine, @rhyslangston writes about his friend: https://t.co/nrm84UYahW
this will go systematically unnoticed for god knows when, and not a single entity will do a thing to slow it down let alone stop it, not even fake condemn it, and when Palestinians are pushed to explosion the world will act like Palestinians have started a new cycle of violence.
It's amazing that people believe shit like this.
In 1915, US Marines occupied Haiti, looted the Haitian National Bank, installed a puppet government and rewrote the Haitian constitution. They stayed for 19 years.
In 1960's, the US started financing Haitian "president for life" Francois Duvalier, who ruled Haiti through an army of death squads. He was in power for 14 years.
Francois Duvalier then made his 19-year old son president, who made Haiti a sweatshop for American corporations.
Haiti didn't have free elections until 1990 and when Haitians finally elected Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was for the interests of the Haitian working class, the US started funding his opposition who overthrew him in a military coup a year later.
Aristide came back to Haiti and won the 2000 presidential election. In 2004, the US kidnapped him and flew him to the US.
His successors continued to privatize Haiti's resources and state assets and sold them to American corporations.
The Biden administration also backed the totally illegitimate government of Jovenel Moise.
The colonialism never ended, it just became American.
This is beyond horrifying.
New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.

I have not seen a single mainstream media outlet give this the attention it deserves.
Israel blew up an entire Lebanese town, an ancient place. It should be headline news. There’s footage of it happening.
Imagine this was your town, and you saw every building blown up by a terrorist army to prevent you from ever returning. You would at the very least expect wall to wall coverage. Instead it passes without a word.
It’s not the only town Israel has blown up. And sadly it probably won’t be the last.
if you’ve ever worn black to a protest, used Signal, or carried a first aid kit, a federal jury just decided that can all be evidence of terrorism. a quick thread on the Prairielands convictions from last week, and what they mean for the right to protest in the US:
