the church imagines and actualizes a carceral cosmology. the church built and sustains the prison because it built and sustains hell.

If he won’t even support boycotting Israel, what exactly does he mean when he says he’ll “fight” it?

A Long Island motorist has filed a lawsuit against the Suffolk County Police Department alleging he was beaten during a traffic stop in Medford. According to the lawsuit, after requesting a supervisor and refusing to exit his vehicle before speaking with one, an officer allegedly entered the car and punched him multiple times before officers forcibly removed and arrested him. The motorist claims he suffered a concussion, two black eyes, and other injuries. He was charged with traffic violations and resisting arrest. His attorney alleges the stop was racially motivated, while Suffolk County Police declined comment due to pending litigation.

Reading How To Sell A Genocide, the NYT called every major population centre in the Gaza Strip a "Hamas stronghold" at some point.

They actively worked to militarise civilians in Gaza to justify genocide

Fanon wrote that, the colonised person uses religion to release tensions that should be directed at the oppressor.

The energy that should fuel revolt gets, redirected into the spiritual.

You should have the same reaction if a US military veteran asks for a discount

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.

Just got a message from someone on the ground outside Delaney Hall asking for folks to bring as much support as they can. In an attempt to break the hunger strike, ICE aims to transport the strikers out of the facility tonight. They need folks on the ground to stop them.

Suddenly Zionists are against land confiscation.

[zellie @zellieimani]

Delaney Hall employee telling a protestor that he’ll “murder him”.

If they are saying this on the outside, imagine what they are saying and doing inside.

Israel is still killing babies in Gaza and it’s barely even a news story.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

Per @gbsumudflotilla, 40 received broken ribs from being beaten by Israeli soldiers. 12 reports of sexual violence to date, including anal rape and forced penetration with a handgun.

“Not one single person walking with [no injuries],” said flotilla participant Veronica Otero.

BREAKING :

The UN accuses Israel of committing EXTERMINATION in Gaza.

EXTERMINATION.

Repeat it. Spread it. Let the world know.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

cuba has never been a threat to the us. it’s only threat was being a successful alternative. a country that fought & won its own sovereignty and dignity. we starved them for that & never stopped. between this and the nyt funding piece, we’re manufacturing consent for war.
