“Always bear in mind, that the people are not fighting for ideas, for the things in anyone’s head. They are fighting to win material benefits, to live better and in peace, to see their lives go forward, to guarantee the future of their children” - Amilcar Cabral

Fascism is 57.5% of Florida voters supporting abortion and the measure still failing. This is minority rule in fascist Florida and what the rest of the country can expect if Trump wins. Florida is the canary in coal mine.
🚨 HAPPENING NOW at #DNC2024 🚨
Packed crowd at the first ever panel on Palestinian human rights that is a part of official DNC programming.
Emotions are high in the room, as panelists share their pain & grief from loved ones murdered in Gaza.
They’re demanding policy change.
Layla Elabed and Abbas Alawieh, founders of @UncommittedMvmt, discuss their exchange with Vice President @KamalaHarris yesterday in Detroit, Michigan and their request for a meeting to discuss the demands of Uncommitted voters and delegates.
When I speak on campus, I ask what % of the pro-Palestine protesters are Jewish. Usually, Jews are overrepresented. Sometimes they're the largest identity group. Maybe folks calling for cracking down on protesters in the name of Jewish safety should consider their safety too
Every time I see a young person who has come through the system to a stage where he could profit from the system and identify with it but who identifies more with the struggle of Black people who have not had his chance, every time I find such a person I take new hope -Ella Baker
We, descendants of Holocaust survivors, call on the world on this Holocaust Remembrance Day to join us in working to end the Israeli government’s genocide against the Palestinian people, enabled and supported by the US government.
Among the most shocking things I’ve seen: Dozens of Israelis blocking humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.
It goes against Jewish values: Jews are taught that to save a life is to save a whole world. It is a sick society to allow this to go unpunished.
It is with profound sadness we confirm that a staff member of Save the Children and his family have been killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

White men chanting "USA" outside of Elbit Industries, the worlds largest weapons supplier to Israel. White men protesting in support of a corporation that makes $6B/year massacring Palestinian families and committing genocide. It's giving MAGA.

Does anyone else find it bizarre that the Israeli IDF spokespersons are largely white, speaking perfect English, like Peter Lerner, who is from London, justifying genocide in a perfect British accent.
Wait.. could it be that… those guys are not from there? Like, colonizers?
This is what Israel’s “democracy” is really all about.
War. Destruction. Genocide. Ethnic cleansing. Palestinians are the primary target but certainly not the only.
Israel is an extension of the Euro-American project of imperialism. Standing with Israel means you stand against humanity.
I’m gonna need the quiet people to start asking more questions. You don’t know enough about Palestine? Ask somebody who does because 1) it’s not as complicated as you’ve been told and 2) we’re all bound together whether you realize it or not.
