This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

I just read this piece and found it spot on. TLDR: Non-violence is a way of life, a way of resistance, and critical for our new world that is possible. MN is showing us how. open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...

On his first day in office, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani revoked all of the executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after his indictment in 2024 — including measures that sought to crack down on pro-Palestine protests and advocacy.

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia. Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

In #Advent, the Christian hegemony of the US is on full display. Christianity has been co-opted by & for empire for millennia. It persists, it needs rebuke. And “Christian Zionism is the foreign policy of Christian nationalism.” - Jonathan Brenneman #FreePalestine Put #Christ back in #Christianity

I refuse to let this era be defined by the sick villains and spineless cowards. We are surrounded by everyday heroes and they will keep emerging.

1/3 If #Advent can invite deeper spiritual practice, perhaps it can femmifest #Hope #Peace #Joy #Love within us. Hope in a world that is rapidly melting and fracturing requires discipline. Hope might be an internal vision that is required for kindom [sic], the beloved community, & a free Palestine.

Watch the whole thing. Absolutely chilling.

#Hope #Peace #Joy #Love Each of these has a shadow side, too. Hope, or stagnant optimism? Joy or cover for real feelings of grief and loss? (Conditional) Love. And Peace? Are we just keeping the peace, or really willing to make peace? #advent #FreePalestine #ceasefire #complicity #solidarity

How Fascists Are Using Jews and Palestine to Advance Their White Supremacist Agenda Fascists are using Israel's genocide to promote both anti-semitism and Islamophobia, pitting minority communities against each other, to march towards white supremacy. thelefthook.substack.com/p/how-fascis...

“Solidarity with Palestine reflects the very realities that queerness is not just about sexuality or identity but about dismantling oppressive structures globally, and that is a common understanding within queer liberation and Palestine liberation movement.” Palestine matters to queer folk. 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

My exposure to the #keffiyeh for decades was primarily thru mass media. Images of endless conflict, men with guns in headscarves. But it is also a symbol of #hope and #solidarity for #Palestine. An ancient textile worn by farmers. Art connected to land: fishnets, olive leaves, trails. #advent #hope

“To #hope in Spanish, #esperar, means to wait in apprehension of either good or evil.” - Rev. Miguel De La Torre This #advent I hope for true & everlasting peace for #Palestine. And I often feel hopeless & #powerless. Hope is making a way out of no way. @xians4palestine.bsky.social #boycottchevron

Mamdani isn't Middle Eastern. You racists are too dumb to even racist correctly.

So wise! And a helpful read for those who struggle with pleasure-work balance

The first Democratic governor who sends their state troopers into an ICE field office to free someone ICE has kidnapped is going to be president in four years.

What those ICE officers did was ASSAULT on US Representatives. May they be so charged. Let’s go @balint.house.gov, please exert your oversight on any and all ICE facilities or leased facilities in VT. Don’t back down. This is second mile time. #WWJD #AbolishICE

I’m old enough to remember that there was no Dept of Homeland Security prior to 9/11. That was another moment when fear was used for the fascist, billionaire agenda. Everyone loves Sen. Leahy, but I believe he brought the ICE data processing center to Williston, VT. #shame #AbolishICE

MOHSEN IS FREE!!!! Federal Building, Burlington VT

Happening now: we sit vigil for the release of Mohsen Mahdawi. #freeMohsen #freeThemAll #stopICE

TOMORROW: curious about how to stop financially supporting the regime? Come to the National Tax Strike info webinar 4/29, 8 pm ET. Folks have been participating in war tax resistance for decades. Learn from them what it's like to strike, the risks, and protections. us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Locals: On Monday, 8 workers were detained by armed Border Patrol agents on their farm in Richford, VT. Tomorrow (4/24) at 6pm, we'll be rallying at Burlington City Hall to demand their freedom. Sign the petition to add your voice– actn.et/36HLvri0 – and SHARE WIDELY #resist #stopice #fiercelove

I have tried to follow #popefrancis guidance when asked for $ on the street. Give, look the person in the eye, and offer your hand. I did this today. We talked about the pope. I passed by the man again later. He said, “I’ve been sick since I was 16. Schizophrenia. I don’t want to bother nobody.” 🙏🏻

Good Friday is the story of a man unjustly arrested and rushed to judgment. Diana Butler Bass tells it for our time, using only pictures from the last two weeks, and it hits so heavy open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

Hey St. Albans, VT, make good on that sign: All Are Welcome Here #freemohsen #freespeech #freerumeysa #stopice Hundreds stood on this rural road outside the Northwest State Correctional Facility in the cold and snow to protest the abduction of Mohsen Mahdawi tonight. #resist

This Tax Day, we're left wondering 1) How will the Courts hold this administration accountable for refusing to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from an El Salvadorian gulag and 2) How can we as people of conscience financially support a government that does not respect or uphold our Nation's highest law?

Happening now! #freerumeysa #freespeech #btv #fiercelove #loveyourneighbor

I share this because I want to lift up the heroic #serenity of this woman, Elsy, grabbed by ICE thugs. She knows her rights. She sweetly calms her daughter. She is dignified. She does not deserve this. Her calm presence outshines these armed cowards in face masks. #shameonthem

To my MAGA neighbor: I don't think we've had a chance to meet, but I believe we both live in X, if we are on the same email forum. Because we are neighbors, and not just anonymous people on the internet, I thought I'd let you know that I received your message.

I’ve been trained well in the Spectrum of Allies. In a campaign, we focus on who can be moved into action, and we ignore active opposers. This is #resist 101. But what about loving our neighbors? All of them. #recovery teaches me love myself and my qualifier/alcoholic. So MAGA neighbor, what now?
