To not rest is really being violent towards your body,
to align yourself with a system that says
your body doesn't belong to you,
keep working, you are simply a tool for our production.

7 Million People in the Democratic Republic of the Congo Are Now Displaced https://t.co/Ir2SuX2q55

[AJ+ @ajplus]

D.R. Congo’s first democratically elected prime minister – Patrice Lumumba – was the hero who helped liberate his nation from Belgian colonial rule. But 7 months later, he was assassinated by a group backed by Belgium and the U.S. 64 years after his murder, no one has been found guilty. But the last living suspect accused of orchestrating Lumumba’s killing could be taken to trial.

May anniversary of Haitian independence (Jan 1 1804) inspire us to deal the last blows to colonialism. For a free Palestine. A free Congo. A free Kashmir +

May anniversary of Zapatista uprising (Jan 1 1994) inspire us to fight for everybody & everything. Liberation, revolution.

This happens every day in Gaza and around the clock, yet we’re expected to focus on the hypothetical fears of privileged elites and billionaires instead of simply stopping a genocide.

It’s been 12 years since Agnes Wanjiru was found dead in a hotel septic tank after a night out with UK troops in Kenya. Will she ever get justice?

This is our mistake, to think we look forward towards death. Most of death is already gone, whatever time has passed is owned by death .... We die, everyday ~ Seneca

I don’t think anyone will ever be able to fully comprehend the extent of intergenerational trauma that is being created right now as we speak. This will be a stain on the history of humanity forever.
