Remember & mourn September 11

For Balbir Singh Sodhi, murdered in the aftermath of 9/11 attacks. He was murdered by Frank Roque who told his friends he was going to go "shoot some towel-heads."

Remember all the forever wars, black sites, detentions, torture prisons since 9/11.

One of the ways white supremacy culture works in everyday life is through demanding civility at all times from people of color while actively oppressing and exploiting them.

[dr_kang @simi_anne]

This whole thread is a gut-punch.

[Indehisce @indehisce]

We could have changed the world. Normalizing remote work would have reduced carbon emissions, curbed mass infection, freed up space for downtown housing, and put full-time employment within reach for so many more. 1/10

The desensitisation to Palestinian suffering is horrifying.

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Israel's systemic wars on Palestinians in Gaza r not about self-defense but about domination. A pedagogical project with teaching guides, a bibliography w 110 entries, a compendium, and a short film here to help learn and share: https://t.co/B4X554UO2s #Gaza #SettlerColonialism

Overturning Roe and and curtailing McGirt within a week of one another makes it pretty damn clear how Indigenous sovereignty and body sovereignty are interconnected. America has always wanted control of land and of people.

[Nick Estes @nickwestes]

SCOTUS achieved today what white supremacists tried with termination: “Indian country is part of the State, not separate from the State… as a matter of state sovereignty, a State has jurisdiction over all of its territory, including Indian country.” https://t.co/dbkhAutiE9

I’ve been using “structurally underserved,” but this is better.

[Yolo Akili @YoloAkili]

Replacing “marginalized communities” with “intentionally exploited communities”.

Direct funds here, not to political campaigns.

Like so many others, today has been a day of peak climate despair and rage and hopelessness.

Watch this video, let the war cry light your fire, give thanks to Wet'suwet'en and all land defenders sacrificing so much to protect the sacred, and join the resistance.

[Harsha Walia (she/her) @HarshaWalia]

#heatwavebc is stark reminder that we need NO more extraction on Indigenous lands, NO more fossil fuel subsidies, safe working conditions & housing & health for all to END manufactured poverty and vulnerability, and END to imperialism that is already a global climate emergency.

@Thea_QT It’s so tiring. I’m in the same boat right now and I just want to lay in bed.

[dr_kang @simi_anne]

@Thea_QT For me, it’s not just the fact of having to negotiate landing in yet another new place, but also the dread of losing the brief feeling of *being* somewhere—of fitting or not, but having to leave routines and beloved places.

[dr_kang @simi_anne]

my entire book plan so far

[zandashé l’orelia brown @zandashe]

I dream of never being called resilient again in my life.

I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many.

[dr_kang @simi_anne]

@vgshaw Nope. No.
