The Palestinian people are rising up after 75+ years of occupation & ethnic cleansing by the apartheid state of Israel.
Now is not the time for “progressive” liberals & armchair “revolutionaries” to make demands for “peaceful resolution” from the comfort of the imperial core.
Electoral politics is a dead end. When so-called "progressives" take office, they undermine movements and whitewash state violence instead of fighting it.
LAPD seen here providing support for federal agents raid of MacArthur Park earlier today.
Public officials keep lying about the city's involvement with federal operations in Los Angeles. Expect this to continue to increase leading up to the 2028 Olympics.
In Blood In My Eye (1972), George Jackson said that the aim of a united left in the united states should be "the defense of political prisoners, and prisoners in general." Why?

“We Are Terrorists” Says US Army Veteran Josephine Guilbeau
As a former counter-terrorism officer, Guilbeau breaks down the process by which the Minab school bombing in Iran had to occur & expresses her outrage about the lack of any accountability.
"When you remove the people from a location, you're not just separating people. You are taking the heart and soul of the place. You are taking the community, which is the essence of any place. My answer to that violence is, see what people will do to get that back.

On March 24 and 25, 2021, Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell ordered the militarized eviction of the community that lived at Echo Park Lake for 18 months.
O'Farrell is gone, but the eviction's legacy of criminalization and displacement continues in his former district and beyond.

The struggles of unhoused and undocumented people are more interconnected than you know.
An estimated 10% of unhoused Angelenos are undocumented.
While ICE kidnaps people off our streets every day, city officials continue to sweep encampments and enforce anti-camping laws.
On March 10th Inglewood PD killed a Black man down the street from SoFi Stadium. His family has still not received any answers from police about what happened, please spread the word. RIP Bryan Bostic. https://t.co/q9e4pYUKkk
Our coalition of 50+ mutual aid, tenant, community self defense, and abolitionist organizations made a simple demand to @hugoforcd13:
Repeal Mitch O'Farrell's 41.18 zones.
Hugo continues to refuse to commit to this demand. We will continue to take action until he does.
Yesterday, organizers representing 50 community groups, including several Community Self Defense Coalition member groups, presented an urgent and simple demand to Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez:
Repeal Mitch O’Farrell’s 41.18 criminalization zones.
Was Malcolm X’s grandson also assassinated? Malcolm Latif Shabazz was killed in Mexico City in 2013 in what media portrayed as a bar fight over an unpaid bill, but his supporters blame on “US and Zionist intelligence networks.”
■ Raised in a family torn apart by COINTELPRO and his grandfather’s assassination, Malcolm Jr had a rough childhood, and discovered revolutionary Islam while he was incarcerated.
■ He studied Shia Islam in the seminary of the Sayyeda Zainab shrine in Damascus, then embarked on a journey of activism in the US, also visiting Venezuela, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Libya, meeting with leader Muammar Gaddafi a week before the NATO attack began.
■ As he became more public and vocal, he faced increasing federal surveillance and targeted arrests, and warned he was a target for assassination. At 28 years old, he was killed, and there still aren’t clear answers.
