RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.

Israeli military warns access roads to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’s aid distribution sites are now ‘combat zones’.

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Hi @bsky.app I hope you’re letting go of Israel and embracing a #FreePalestine now.

Hi @bsky.app I heard you’re denying the #gazagenocide … maybe we should post Israelis?

And now, an emergency motion for a temporary injunction to keep the government from deporting people in another case to South Sudan. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“You are not fighting Hamas, it’s just women and children” - survivor of the school massacre in Al-Tufah neighborhood of #GazaGenocide

326 Palestinians have died as a result of the blockade and starvation policy imposed by the occupation #Starvation #Palestine

What is happening on here ? 💔💔💔 #GenocideOfThePalestinans

For real 😳 #GazaGenocide

Remembering is resistance #KwibukaTwiyubaka

There will be no peace without justice. Justice is a primary human instinct. Have you ever heard a child who barely learned to speak cry out 'THAT'S NOT FAIR'. That's their sense of innate justice. For there to be peace, there must be justice. End the genocide and occupation! FREE PALESTINE! 🇵🇸 ♥️ 🔥 🇵🇸

Trump takes support for Israel to new extremes electronicintifada.net/content/trum... Well, we were tired of those old extremes.

18,000 documented children killed Over 20,000 children are still missing, still under the rubble or dumped in mass graves… 40,000 orphans Industrial scale … never again 💔 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

an organization cannot do your thinking *for you*; orgs will often fail you as they surrender to other interests. your role, as a member, fan, or party of interest, is to push them to represent your demands. you do not also have to blindly surrender to their un/named interests because they did.

#Gaza 470 days of massacres 💔

#Sudan 500,000 children 💔

It's better than nothing, but it's still wholly inadequate, as he will still have to serve the remainder of his unfair term. And it's definitely Not a Pardon, which sucks big time. In fact, Genocide Joe should go to Hague for his Crimes.

Lots of clarity today

On the scene of the Amazon strike in Maspeth, the NYPD is trying to break the picket, engaging in arrests of union members and engaging in physical confrontations with workers and their supporters.

the normalization and change they’ve been boasting about

First Israeli Apartheid was 'normalized' by Western governments and press. Then endless military occupation by Israel was "normalized¨ by Western governments and press. And now genocide by Israel has been 'normalized¨ by Western governments and press. #BoycottIsrael #Gaza #Israel #Palestine

This is crazy. The US is about to veto its 6th “cease fire” in Gaza…

Sometimes, I get so tired of western liberals and so-called "leftist" types coming into our Leftist community in Amsterdam, to tell us how to organise, who we should work together with or not work together with, and who we should throw out and cancel, etc. You notice it a lot with the Americans.

still relevant.

Western media invented fancy words like "humanitarian crisis" so they don't say that Israel is committing genocide, and "buffer zones", so they don't say that Israel is invading Syria. Everything about the west is built on white supremacy. From their media to their politics, etc. Everything!!

While we're here. BDS has added coca cola to their list which I haven't had since I was an early teen bdsmovement.net/news/coca-co...

patch.com/new-jersey/a... ACLU has obtained documents revealing that ICE is seeking more detention space. One is the 1,000 bed Albert M. “no” Robinson Center (ARC) in Trenton which is run by the private prison company The GEO Group.

None of this should surprise you. Nothing good has ever come from Joe Biden and nothing good ever will.
