It's a marker of intensifying repression that Colin & Urooj got just over 1 year for molotov'ing a cop car in the 2020 uprisings, but Casey Goonan just got 20 years for similar acts during the genocide uprisings. Maybe too obvious to need saying, but the gap is so stark.

This. we’ve gotta recognize that criminalized & oppressed people’s social relations, expression, beliefs, + aesthetics are central to how they are criminalized, ie targeted by the state as appropriate targets for violence & captivity.

Criminalization secures the most brutal ways the state punishes expression and bodily autonomy— they are not separate but interlinked. But criminalization itself renders criminalized people outside the frame of reference for “free speech.”

The Global Sumud Flotilla is demonstrating the efficacy of tactical nonviolence in forcing a political crisis over the Gaza genocide. They are putting Israel on the back foot and forcing states to act. These brave comrades deserve our full attention, solidarity, and support

Not enough people are talking about this. My village and a few others were officially annexed this Saturday, now a part of “Israel,” Palestinians living there no longer have a Palestinian ID number and need a permit to live and travel on their land, and it can be revoked anytime.

🚨This is the post-9/11 ”anti-terrorism” infrastructure (surveillance tools, fusion centers, data-sharing networks, etc) being weaponized against a domestic “left.” It also telegraphs some of the weapons (conspiracy prosecutions, stripping 501c3s, freezing assets) they’ll use.

This isn’t in the top 10,000 most important issues but the fact that this is NOT a Baldwin quote—but instead something Robert Jones, Jr. (handle “sonofbaldwin”) tweeted—yet gets attributed to Baldwin like every day on this site… feels so much more bleak in the post-literacy era.
