Reflections after the June 12th March of Disarmament
...I am here to move against
leaving our shadows implanted on the
earth while our bodies disintegrate in
nuclear lightning;
...I am here because I shall not give the earth up to non-dreamers and earth molesters
- Sonia Sanchez
How does one understand a condition so thoroughly and work completely against those of whom he speaks? The harm is mete out in the most sophisticated ways discussed and mulled over by elites who in the end align with class and capital.
Black New Yorkers are 45% of NYCHA residents, 40% of NYC's eviction cases, and 44% of NYC’s homeless population. Mamdani’s privatizing public housing, underfunding Right to Counsel, and cutting housing assistance is a continuation of policies forcing out Black New Yorkers!
NYC Parks threatened to call the NYPD on elders, moms with kids, neighbors with pets, during BXMA’s free food distro.
The neighbors and community held their ground and won the right to stay!

On October 23rd, a multi city protest was conducted to boycotts of the new Apple iPhone. From D.C., to Belfast, and Malaysia, protestors implored customers to reject hyperconsumerism enabling the exploitation of Congolege people, and called for their freedom and Palestine's 🇨🇩 🇵🇸
There's no such thing as a "good cop" when they all make it easier for their fascist conspirators to beat up unarmed civilians while pointing a grenade launcher in their face, sexually assaulting people during random racial profiling stops, and kidnapping families from their cars
Despite how happy I am for Brazil, the hypocrisy of the international applause is hard to ignore. The same actors cheering Lula’s 4th term called Chávez a dictator for it and vilified PSUV for “human rights abuses” while turning a blind eye to Lula’s troops committing rape and war crimes in Haiti. Lula is afforded their sympathy because he maintained neoliberal economics, played nice with Noboa and Jolani, blocked Venezuela from BRICS, and aligned with U.S. intervention abroad. This election result is, without a doubt, a victory for the sovereignty of Latin America against egregious election interference. But not all those applauding are cheering for our sovereignty. And, as yet another Latin American country joins U.S. mercenaries in Haiti, it’s pretty gross that certain ‘human rights activists’ (especially the Latin American pachamama libs) ignore the stain on humanity that was MINUSTAH simply because it was in service of the U.S. interests.
