Guantanamo Survivors Fund (@gtmofund) has a legit zakat option. $ will go to brothers (below niṣāb) living through what is functionally phase 2 of Gitmo. Many live in isolated parts of countries like Serbia w/ongoing health issues & outrageous restrictions on everyday life (1/2)
Now is the time to show up in a big way for Maricela Rueda! Funds are URGENTLY needed for her state case!

it's an (unsurprising) bummer that a quarter-century on there still isn't a solid non-orientalist, non-conspiracy theory english-language basic explainer documentary about al-qa'ida
🚨 ACİL | Uzun süredir Türkiye'de yaşayan eski Guantanamo mahkumu Shaker Aamer, ikamet izni uzatılmayarak Geri Gönderme Merkezi'ne alındı.
Aamer'in Suudi Arabistan'a iade edilmesi durumunda işkence, kötü muamele ve hapis cezası riskleriyle karşılaşabileceği ifade ediliyor.
2019'dan beri Türkiye'de yaşayan Aamer'in ikamet izni uzatılmadı ve ABD kaynaklı olduğu belirtilen G-87 tahdit kodu gerekçesiyle Geri Gönderme Merkezi'ne sevk edildi.
Türkiye'de bir eşi ve 3 yaşında bir çocuğu bulunan Aamer'in sınır dışı edilmesi hâlinde ailesinden kopma tehlikesi bulunduğu vurgulanıyor.
Suudi Arabistan uyruklu Shaker Aamer, hiçbir suçlama yöneltilmeden ABD tarafından 14 yıl boyunca Guantanamo'da tutulduktan sonra 2015 yılında serbest bırakılmıştı.

On Tuesday, a handful of MAGA came to an Islamic Center in LA, and the LAPD escorted them around serving as their personal security.
No other group gets this taxpayer funded security.
Too young to grow facial hair, but not too young to sacrifice everything. Suhayb's story is why I've never been okay w dismissing fighters as "acceptable" deaths. Most ppl don't want to fight if they don't have to. This heroic child should never have had to be so heroic.
@industry2africa@NaziaKaziTweets he was on clubhouse during COVID lockdown times, publicly bragging about having a friend in the mossad who would sleep on his couch
the military prosecutor said it is unlikely abu zubayda will ever be charged. his attorneys: “This is a major change in circumstances that warrants he be cleared for transfer.”
Update from #Guantánamo
24 years in CIA black sites and Guantánamo.
Abu Zubaydah went before the Periodic Review Board again. He was not allowed to speak.
The U.S. once called him a senior al Qaeda leader. It later dropped that claim.
After 24 years of torture, abuse, and indefinite detention, there are still no charges. No trial. He remains imprisoned at Guantánamo.
He was one of the first men subjected to the CIA’s post 9/11 torture program. He was waterboarded more than 83 times in one month.
Abu Zubaydah is one of the most tortured men in CIA and FBI history.
Who answers for what was done to him?

re: snitching—contempt for cowardice is an important cultural norm to maintain. it's not about individuals having certain "positions" or ideas, but about bodily discipline, about training ourselves to act/feel/perceive in particular ways that actually enable political survival
something about the intensity of the identitarianism & repetitive use of certain phrases like “sex slavery” def feels artificial/bot-like. like an attempt to move the actual dial the tiiiiiniest bit by pushing the most extreme pro-snitching positions possible (within some limits)
"don't talk to cops" is a simple and reliable way to not self-incriminate, designed to be easy to remember while under pressure. there is a reason why the national lawyers guild and other legal groups teach this. what are you talking about!
