Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.
They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid
@AntiRecidivism From November: “California voters rejected a ballot measure to prohibit forced prison labor, in a major disappointment to advocates of criminal justice reform and many of the 90,000 people incarcerated in state prisons.”

We did have footage. But whether it was a photo of a Congolese man staring at the severed foot & hand of his 5 y/o daughter or Dr.s sharing CT scans of bullets in the heads of Palestinian kids, neither awareness nor compassion nor reason has ever halted the colonizer’s violence.
@DrZedZha Statements like “the patient complains of” -they don’t complain, they report.
Noncompliance means either the patient can’t afford to do what you want OR you have not created a care plan WITH the patient. It also means you haven’t asked enough questions about their circumstances

The recent grant of sanction by Delhi's LG to prosecute author Arundhati Roy under the UAPA for her speech made 14 years ago serves as an alarming reminder why this draconian law must be brought in line with international human rights standards. #ArundhatiRoy#UAPA
It reminds me a lot of how the origins of many helping professions and fields were wrapped up with white supremacy, upholding and advancing it. e.g., the invention of Drapetomania - a psychiatric illness that overtook enslaved people and caused them to run away.
Everyone, please keep spreading the word. This crisis isn't going to be resolved quickly. We are going to need some serious solidarity in the days and weeks ahead. #Solidarity#MutualAid
If they marry, after 27 months, the foreigner must leave for at least 6 months. Why 27 months? Because by then they might have a family and by necessity all will leave, Israel hopes not to return. Welcome to the new deranged face of Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Palestinians
🚨NEW ALERT:
Israeli Authorities Resume Plan to Relocate al-Walaja Checkpoint
The new location will block al-Walaja residents’ access to more of their agricultural lands & to Ein Haniya, once the village's social center and now an Israeli recreational destination.

🧵1/4: Our latest visual with @alhaq & @jvplive offers a case study of how the illegal Israeli settlement enterprise is sustained by foreign governments, corporations, & “charities.”
Read this thread for three efforts toward accountability.
Billionaire CEOs didn't just reach Mayor Adams in a private chat urging him to arrest pro-Palestine Columbia students, they also offered PRIVATE staff to help NYPD. The Mayor accepted.
Members of the group also coordinated with Israel's war cabinet, UN ambassador and former PM.
So interesting how funding social security is constantly up for debate but sending billions for genocide and banning talking about said genocide seems to pass through each time.
Big resignation from the Biden administration - an extremely powerful one at that. This section, in particular, struck hard - read it and read it again.
“Because the hardest part of the past six months was feeling totally alone like I was the only one disturbed by the footage from Gaza. The only one who felt like a participant, not just a passive observer, in the destruction there. For six months, I never heard anyone speak about the war in those terms, ever. I felt like I was living in an alternate universe.”
