I just don’t get what’s so difficult to understand. Police don't prevent crime. They come after a crime is committed. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunities for communities and neighborhoods that need them.

you may read about the ill treatment of black American soldiers by their own army in the book FORGOTTEN.

while haiti is in the news so much this week maybe we should all take a moment to discuss the fact that their economic destitution is entirely due to being forced to spend ~80% of their federal budget every year for 150 years on reparations to france for freeing the slaves

With nearly $900 billion — just one year of the Pentagon's budget — we could house every homeless person in the U.S. for 121 years.

This is why reporters don't want to speak to the designated spokesperson. They know they'll get a cogent, thorough explanation of what the movement's demands are and that's disappointing for reporters hoping to portray an entitled hateful mob.

‼️ALL OUT TO CCNY‼️ the Gaza Solidarity Encampment is holding strong despite threats from CUNY admin and NYPD to attack the students and sweep the area

[CUNY4Palestine @Cuny4P]

We need everyone in and around NYC to come to CCNY by 4pm!

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

BREAKING: City College of New York has launched a Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

Per release, “Organizers at CUNY draw on the legacy of the 1969 CUNY student protest movement, when more than 200 Black and Puerto Rican students de-occupied campus buildings at CCNY… for 17 days.”

Two weeks ago I wrote a viral thread about Black women in the 2000’s repurposing + recycling after a woman in sports praised her for “showing that women’s sports merch doesn’t have to be hideous”. And THIS is why I spoke up.

Welcome to Gaza

[tan 📌 palestine resources @sodaberrie]

so bisan has called for another global strike on the 21st, and since people complained that last time was "without enough notice" here's some ways to educate yourself + prepare for the strike this time around:

[missfalasteenia @missfalsteenia]

Gaza is now flooded due to Israel shutting down the sewage system.

We are witnessing yet another phase of this genocide. Starvation, infection, and diseases.

Just because you've stopped talking about it doesn't mean it isn't happening.

[Hind Khoudary @Hind_Gaza]

My friends texted me today asking for liners and pads.
We have been searching for pads for days but can’t find any.
Can you imagine having your period without pads, tampons, nor liners?
What will you do?
Feminist on this world to you still exist?
