"I don't need guns, I need fire extinguishers!" an EMT screams at police pointing their guns at a man who self-immolated in protest of a US-supported genocide. What an encapsulation of America, 2024.

RIP, Aaron Bushnell, braver than any of us. May your sacrifice not be in vain.

Atef is still living in a tent in Rafah, writing his diaries every day. But rather than wait till these atrocities end we have published his diaries of the genocide to date as an ebook. Foreword by Chris Hedges. All proceeds go to charity (see below):

Join us for this virtual event marking 22 years of U.S. detention of Muslim men and boys at the Guantánamo Bay prison. 30 Muslim men still remain at the notorious facility: most have never been charged with a crime despite spending decades behind bars

This is what 40,000 child slaves look like while working in the cobalt mines of Congo. You don't need to upgrade your cellphone every year, maybe you shouldn't buy that electric car you were thinking about buying and vapes aren't good for our health anyway

In the dark times
we are assured
that this too shall pass
even this too shall pass
yes, that may be,
but how many lives
too shall pass
in the course
of this too passing.

Shout out to @TheRaDR from Sarah Bessey #EvolvingFaith2023 from Life as a Sacred Text newsletter “We can refuse to root for the safety, lives, rights of human beings like they are sports teams. In which there are winners/losers…& safety is a finite resource that must be hoarded.

There is pestilence
now war
and from both
so much death
someone please
go check the stables
to make sure
that famine is still tethered.

BREAKING: Biden admin will waive 26 laws to build border walls through South Texas wildlife refuge & nearby communities.

Biden's DHS will take “immediate action" to speed wall construction, casting aside protections for endangered species, clean water, Indigenous graves & more.
