During Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, amazing to see US media shine a light on the sheer brutality of the invasion & openly blast Israel as an imperial bully. Far cry from the stenographers to power posing as "journalists" in corporate media today. https://t.co/Q2Yk84NNHO

@80Level Great, this is creative resistance against repressive regimes, be that against banned books in e.g., China, Iran, Russia or certain christian nationalist states in the USA, very good!

Stop the continuous Turkish bombing of the autonomous society in Rojava, North East Syria! Turkey uses that all eyes are on Ukraine and that the cynical states of Europe and USA do not care for Kurdish civilians. Long live the Rojava democratic confederalism!

BREAKING: Indigenous peoples in Ecuador again show the way. After leading an incredible nationwide strike for 18 days, they just forced the US-backed President to lower fuel prices and slow oil drilling.

Resistance is necessary. Protest works.

So among the effective nonviolent activist tactics our research team has been studying sex strikes tend to be highly effective.

Maybe we just close up shop til we get our rights back.

Amazing action today at Wells Cathedral by @CClimateAction demanding the end of the Church of England's investment in #FossilFuels @ExtinctionR @XRBath

VICTORY: Palestinian prisoner Khalil Awawdeh will be released on June 26!

He had been on hunger strike for 111 days to protest his indefinite detention by Israel without charge or trial.

We are overjoyed he will return to his family and moved by his courage and perseverance.

[International Campaign for Tibet @SaveTibetOrg]

The first witness, Professor Michael van Walt van Praag, cuts right to the chase: "#China does not have sovereignty over Tibet. Therefore it is occupying Tibet illegally." He adds that countries are required by international law to support #Tibetan self-determination

[Peace Now @peacenowisrael]

We are marching with thousands in Tel Aviv to mark 55 years of occupation. Today, too, is a good day to end the occupation and to move from apartheid to equality; from violence to reconciliation ; from occupation to peace.

Totally agree
