Kenyan protesters are storming into Timba XO multimillion club that's owned by Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi.
stock prices are up today while you sit in your sweltering apartment with no power. Gerardo Norcia and the shareholders of DTE don't work the lines or the call centers they probably don't even live in our communities, but they sure profit off of us. They don't care about you.
Malcolm X April 19th, 1925
We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary
We expect our comrades to act with bravery, commitment, and principle among ourselves and the community. We show up day to day, week to week, with high morale and high discipline. We have an expectation of solidarity and accountability to one another, and do not shy away from..

On March 4, @theintercept published a story about how Kibbutz Be’eri denied a report in the NYT regarding the sexual assault of two girls on October 7. The NYT told us they stood by the reporting. Our story is here:
theintercept.com/2024/03/04/…
Now, the NYT reports on a new video filmed by an Israeli soldier who discovered the girls that completely undermines the NYT report. And the NYT now quotes kibbutz residents as saying it was false.
Yet the NYT has not retracted it on the original Screams Without Words story, which has won a Polk Award and is constantly cited as the definitive account of systematic sexual violence by Hamas on October 7. The NYT has serious questions to answer about how this false story made its way into the “paper of record.” The new story about the video is here:

.@ChinaAmbUN: "Security Council resolutions are binding. We call on the parties concerned to fulfill their obligations under the United Nations Charter and to take due action as required by the resolution. We expect the state with significant influence to play a positive role on the party concerned, including by using all necessary and effective means at their disposal to support the implementation of the resolution. To this end, all harm against civilians must cease immediately, and the offensive against #Gaza must be stopped at once. A ceasefire during the month of #Ramadan is only the first step that must serve as a basis leading to a permanent sustainable ceasefire and the early return of the people of Gaza who are forced to flee their homes." @Chinamission2un
