The Superbowl protester, Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu, who waved the Sudan and Palestine flag during the halftime show spoke about how he felt he had to act.
“If you see a wrongdoing, you must stop it with your hands, if you can't stop it with your hands, stop it with your tongue, if you can't stop it with your tongue, stop it with your heart, and we know that’s the weakest of faith.

Youth are among the 800 incarcerated people risking their lives on the frontlines of CA’s wildfires—for pennies. Labeled as “rehabilitation,” this is exploitation. Incarcerated youth deserve opportunity, not cages. We demand freedom, not profit off their labor. #AbolishPrisons

#Mexico It’s been 27 years since the Acteal massacre in Chiapas where 45 people were murdered by paramilitaries trained, armed & protected by the Mexican State. The people from Acteal demand perpetrators & masterminds be brought to justice. We don’t forgive, we don’t forget! ✊🏿❤️
ChatGPT is literally accelerating climate change and water scarcity there is nothing that serious you need it for that you couldn’t come up with or ask a regular search engine
Honestly like a lot of y’all gonna think I’m reaching but the resurgence of ableist slurs or any slurs for that matter goes hand in hand with the fact that we are descending further and further into fascism and regressing, truly. A steep decline too.
Start demanding nationalized healthcare, living wages, jobs guarantee, housing for all & a new economic system based on collective ownership. Fight for everything & we may get something. Fight for watered down moderate policies & we get the capitalist oligarchy we have right now.
This is an image of a multiracial police force in a bright blue city locking arms to defend a mega corporation against a union. Perfect encapsulation of the politics on offer from the liberal center.
