We don’t have to “be allowed.” We ARE absolutely able to defend ourselves and the earth. It is righteous, human, and necessary to destroy and block data centers. Death to technofascism is LIFE to the people. We all must learn to be flames and be ready when called upon.
There are a series of videos of incarcerated people in America flickering their cell lights on and off as the only means of communication with the outside world which makes this clip feel so bleak that I can’t see even a fraction of a joke in it
As fast as you guys cleared up that you didn’t stand with the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of
Israel, you should mention how Nikki Giovanni didn’t like you guys for your lack of solidarity with Palestine and withdrew her film from your program.
Beloved poet, children's book author, and civil rights activist Nikki Giovanni passed on Monday, at 81. From her rise in the Black Arts Movement to the fight against book bans to her love of the stars... (1/2)
Another day begins but this time we no longer have one of the greatest minds of all time. Nikki Giovanni, I can’t say anything more than thank you.
Inna Lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un
all I want for christmas is
-arabs understanding the existential threat turkey poses to the region
-kurds understanding the existential threat zionism poses to us
-everyone understanding that israel and turkey are like a married couple, they talk shit but can’t live w/o e/o
Assad has fled. A humiliated tyrant who made the honored Syrian people into a global refugee story while murdering hundreds of thousands at home.
Today your joy is our joy oh Syria. May Allah give you just rule and prosperity in the days ahead.
And may every tyrant fall. Ameen
The leftists who can’t understand that all empires, even those against the US, can also be evil are now bringing up Saddam Hussein after seeing Syrians happy.
I feel like the line between caring about your safety as a woman and sounding like a fascist that thinks all working class men are these uncontrollable beasts is clear no?
The consciousness of the working class is rising and we are collectively understanding that our enemy is the ruling class. Our enemy is imperialism. Our enemy is capitalism. Our enemy is US, UK, Israel and all imperialist states and we must resist and organise.
The Kurdish Red Crescent (@HeyvaKurd) are actively calling for donations. They are currently the only NGO providing aid to the 200,000+ refugees arriving into Tabqa and Minbij, and will inevitably be responsible for building longer-term camps for them. Please donate if you can.
I actually cant stand the way you guys talk about women and music and tv and love and alcohol and movies and writers and friendship and ideas and concepts and shapes and colors and sex and doordash
People have created an encampment outside the Kurdish Community Centre after the police raided the centre arrested community members and harassed and violated people and will continue to do so. Go down to the encampment show support and join them!
Recently I have been travelling through northern Kurdistan, and have met with Kurdish people from all different kinds of backgrounds. They told countless stories of the current systematic oppression and repression they face – especially from the Turkish state –, as well as a history full of massacres.
Destruction and exploitation of the nature – such as unlawful forest cutdowns, sacrificing zones for mining companies and fires – is one of the many tools used as part of the continuous attacks against the Kurds. This often leads to devastation of local communities and biodiversity as well as forced displacement. Erasure of culture and identity, state violence, political prisoners, forced displacement, ecocides and disappearances are just some examples of the discrimination people face on an everyday basis, as well as being denied the right to self determination and freedom.
To build genuine bridges of solidarity in Turkey, autonomy and self-governance for Kurdish regions are essential. The Kurdish people deserve the right to shape their own lives, culture, and communities.
Turkey must clarify its stance on the Kurds and other minority groups by enshrining their rights in the constitution. The government continues to use “terrorism” as a pretext to silence its political opponents. Tens of thousands of politically active individuals remain imprisoned without fair trials. International organizations such as the ECHR, UN, and Amnesty have condemned this and call for their release.
For a sustainable peace and a just future, the Kurds’ right to freedom and autonomy must be respected and the violent attacks against Kurdistan must end.
No one is free until everyone is free. Bijî Kurdistan!

I’m sorry if this means to nobody but Springfield at night time truly is the closest thing to capturing stillness and loneliness in a television show. All that purple and blue. Just perfect.
In 89% of the forests, they planted non-Indigenous plants and trees which wreaked havoc on the ecosystems and made it near impossible to farm because animals couldn’t graze on the new shrubbery.
So much more to say but for now and always: Free Palestine
This becomes even more disgusting once you remember that in 1977, Israel declared Za’atar a ‘protected plant’ and made it illegal for Palestinians to pick it but Za’atar, like most herbs, requires it to be cut back in order for it to grow stronger.
Not the first (or last) case of Israel conveying a false sense of concern for the environment or enacting ‘conservation projects’ to conceal their ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and destruction of the land.
