Remembering Jimmy Carter as one of the only US presidents who spoke honestly about Palestine.
“The word ‘apartheid’ is exactly accurate…much worse than they were in South Africa by way”
Goodman: Why don’t Americans know what you have seen?
Carter: Americans don’t want to know
Jimmy Carter called Israel an Apartheid state, said Hamas was willing to negotiate fairly but Israel refuses to do so and instead wants to continue its genocidal occupation, and the Israel lobby destroys any politicians who dare go against it. Watch all the liberals erase this
We've long suspected that Spotify was recruiting fake artists and juicing them in its algorithm and placing them on the most popular playlists. Liz Pelly collected the internal docs + other evidence to finally prove it.
From Kenya, to Uganda, to Bangladesh, to Palestine, to Haiti, to Yemen and across the globe. A win for the people is a win for the world.
Solidarity with everyone resisting oppression & tyranny. 🤍🤍
I've told this story before: every 7th of July Prof. Wangari Maathai would attempt to plant a tree at Uhuru Park's Freedom corner to agitate for change. Every Saba Saba she'd be clobbered by police. More than 20 years later her "children" are at Uhuru Park. #lestweforget
When we say "all struggles are connected," it's not a cute metaphor. It's a strategy to win.
Our only strength is our numbers and solidarity—and yet, that is more than enough. If we're serious about winning, we need to first understand these connections—then join hands.
Thread:
It's not an omission - it was done on purpose, and its fate is a symptom of how securitisation and statism conspire to erode community and public life. The main public square in the Nairobi city plan is supposed to be where KICC sits.
as we wake up, kenya is under de facto martial law. a massacre took place in Githurai, the numbers of injured from yesterday’s protest and death toll is rising, the president has called all citizens treasonous and made public he ‘will continue to lead’

@FinUncovered@rigathi 8. People are tired of being played. The @GovtOfKenya is following their Western leaders - keeping them happy, skimming off the top and putting the onus on the people to repay. & the US won't call #Ruto out as they're getting everything they want ($$ & military bases in #Lamu 🫂)
1. Kenyans are reasonably fed up. #rejectfinancebill2024 comes with history. Behind the door is the 🇺🇸 steering their puppet #Ruto in exactly the direction they want. A multi-layered crafting of “good international relationship” has lead to the gutting of so many lives.
Even if you'd have given me a million dollars before this week I would never have said that this would happen in Kenya. The ricochet effect of the arrogance and the violence with which the president and his advisors have pushed a population that was already tired led us here.
Shooting and killing people armed with whistles and smartphones. On live TV. This is something only a murderer can do. Jesus. No one can pretend they didn’t see it. It’s there for all to see. #RejectFinanceBill2024
