I've been thinking about this more frequently with what has been happening in Rojava and Sudan rn. Internationalist solidarity requires a principled mental investment in other people's struggles and their history. Interventionalist mindsets stop and end at CNN and Vice articles.

i did not 'incite violence', i just suggested it a lot

Everyday I am Saw Gerraramaxxing

"Kurds are Mossad. Kurds are KGB. Kurds are CIA" Jesus christ do you people ever stop when it comes to minimizing an indigenous people? Fucking pigs, the lot of you.

i know 12-year-olds who can apply a tourniquet more appropriately and competently than ICE

tired: letting SCOTUS continue to rule as the highest court in the land wired: handing over complete control of our judicial system to Scrotus, the bad guy from that Mad Max video game

I wrote about how the Syrian Army offensive in the northeast has impacted people there. I spoke to Syrians in Deir ez Zor, Kobani and Qamishli, as well as analysts and a government official for this one. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

Give me a Rav 4, an SKS, and 1500 rounds of ammo, and I'll live very happily

The fall of the Autonomous Administration would be the victory of barbarism over the solidarity of the Kurds, Assyrians, and Arabs of the region. The Women's Revolution is under the full assault of the STG's US, Israeli, and Turkish backed forces. They slaughter the women & descrate the martyrs.

Turkish pro-Kurd DEM party warns of 'humanitarian tragedy' in siege on Syria's Kobane

es werden gerade öfter linke demonstrant*innen von faschos mit messern angegriffen die soli hält sich irgendwie grenzen ach so die demonstrant*innen in question sind kurd*innen das erklärt natürlich alles

Notre soutien doit aussi se tourner vers le Rojava, aujourd'hui menacé par la Syrie. Un territoire kurde socialiste, démocratique, féministe, antiraciste... menacé par des personnes qui ne supportent pas qu'une alternative au néolibéralisme ou au fascisme puisse émerger. Allez eyes on Rojava !

Kurdistan needs us. Rojava needs us. Wherever you are, however you can. Speak up for Rojava, they are mounting a heroic defense of Aleppo. My friend died defending the Rojava Revolution. It will not be in vain. Her Bijî Rojava! Jin, Jiyan, Azadî!

He was pinned to the ground and his gun was already confiscated by another agent when the shots rang out btw

There seems to be disagreement about whether the ceasefire in Rojava has ended, and HTS may be preparing for an attack on Hassakah, but I've not seen reports of any major fighting yet.

🧊❌BREAKING 🧊❌ 500 #MOworkers and community allies from across St. Louis just rallied to demand ICE OUT of our city! Solidarity with our siblings in Minnesota during their bold general strike to fight back ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏽

this administration is actual real evil. how can anyone approve of this

People drove by. "Oh no! Is everyone okay?" "It's an ICE vehicle" Laughter erupts and people got out to take photos.

Pale-skinned, cave-dwelling troglodyte MLs out here telling me (an indigenous person) to stop supporting the Kurdish Woman's revolution.

You watch Denis Villeneuve movies because you're a film snob, I watch Denis Villeneuve to relax. We are not the same

Since 1991, just three socialist* revolutions* won state or quasi-state power: Nepal, Chiapas, Rojava. Two conservative autocrats, Erdogan and Jolani, work to kill and bury Rojava, and with it Kurdish liberation. How does the "anti-imperialist" left react? With applause for the murderers.

Es wird u.a. es lebe der Widerstand in Rojava skandiert

After the failure of negotiations in Damascus, a general mobilization has begun in Rojava. Youth from northern Kurdistan appear To have crossed the border to join the defence. it feels like 2014 again, complete with horrific executions of SDF prisoners.

A statement of solidarity with Rojava from the Karenni Revolution “ ji Karenni heta gelê Rojava, Di vî wextê gûman û xeteriyê de, Em silav û piştgirtiyê xwe ji we re dişînin.

I fucking can't with the news out of Rojava today. Şehîd namirin, Bijî Rojava 💔

die gespräche zwischen #rojava und #damaskus sind gescheitert. die islamistische "übergangsregierung" führt krieg. es gibt berichte über hinrichtungen und massaker. gegenwärtig ist die symbolträchtige stadt kobanê umzingelt und bedroht. all eyes on rojava! www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

Hunderte Menschen demonstrieren gerade am Marienplatz in München gegen die dschihadistischen Angriffe auf Rojava und rufen "Terrorist Dscholani". #DefendRojava #BijiberxwedanaRojava

Ein Artikel über unsere gestrige Demonstration in München in Solidarität mit Rojava - es war eine kräftige, ausdrucksstarke und emotionale Demonstration. Viele Kurd:innen, die ihre engsten Angehörigen verloren haben, waren anwesend.

Defend Rojava! Her biji Rojava!

Rojava, the largest actually-democratic project in the world, has entered what might (or might not) be a last desperate stand.

The situation in Rojava/DAANES, as I understand it: Yesterday the SDF and the Autonomous Administration agreed to a humiliating ceasefire agreement with HTS (the new government), giving up civil and military control over their areas in exchange for an end to violence against civilians.

Despite the extremely difficult situation, the mood in Kobane is surprisingly good, a relief after days of retreat and the atrocities committed by jihadists, the ugliest face of humanity, following the General Command’s call for mobilization

this is it. this is the way forward.

Look at these evil bastards

this is just straight up murder by the regime

If DAANES were such staunch supporters of the genocidal apartheid state of Israel, you'd think we'd be seeing IOF thugs in Syria's oil fields rn. But we don't. Last think the IDF did for the Kurds was bomb them for no good fucking reason.

Also, love al-Jazeera, but fuck them for only catering to Syrian pundits for analysis of what's going on in Syria rn.

and another point, Jolani does not have supreme command over his forces. Ceasefires keep breaking because his Turkish proxies in the SNA don't want peace. Turkey is turning up the heat on this conflict (confirmed by their drone strikes during the offensive).

About the current situation in Syria rn: We're seeing the start of a new phase of the Syrian Civil War. Most of the withdrawals the SDF have partakes in have been in non-Kurdish majority territory. The real fighting will happen in Kurdish majority territory, and it will be long and drawn out.

you can argue against the state monopoly on the use of force, you can argue against the existing liberal international order, you can make all these arguments all you like, but at core there is simply no way to run a society without a Break Glass In Case Of Emergency that contains a sword
