the basics: fascism thrives on fear. they want you to be silent, to self-censor, to do less. you will not recover whatever ground you concede. the moment calls for caution, not hysteria. courage, not cowardice. if the objective is fear, be unafraid. dissent.
NIGER SUMMIT ENDS WITH PALESTINE SOLIDARITY MARCH
Niger hosted the historic ‘Conference in Solidarity with the Peoples of the Sahel' on 19-21 November in its capital, Niamey.
Socialists worldwide representing popular movements, labour unions and peasant organisations attended alongside hundreds of Nigeriens.
The summit aimed to build international solidarity for the Sahel's anti-imperialist revolution that has thus far booted the French and US militaries from Niger and the French from Burkina Faso and Mali.
However, delegates did not forget other ongoing struggles, such as the Palestine liberation movement, so the conference concluded with a march in the streets to express their support for the Palestinians, who have endured a relentless and US-backed Israeli military onslaught that had k*lled more than 186,000 people as of early July, according to the Lancet medical journal.

"When we start to paint protesters as people who want to harm the city, in the public's mind, that allows people to justify mass police presence, including police violence and mass arrests," said NYCLU Senior Organizer @isabelle_leyva.

Israel has dropped almost 75,000 bombs and shells on Gaza in 200 days, twenty times more than the US aimed at Iraq in six years of war.
The world's 200 bloodiest days since the Rwandan genocide. It’s not war. It’s genocide.
'The Supreme Court announced that it will not hear Mckesson v. Doe. The decision leaves in place a lower court decision that effectively eliminated the right to organize a mass protest in the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.'
