The US Empire is guilty of genocide of the Palestinian people, and it has been for a hundred years now
Look up “British Mandate for Palestine”
Sorry, but I don’t care if being fine with Kamala Harris breaking the glass ceiling and stopping Trump from seizing the executive again makes me a “bad leftist”
I’ll be writing anarcho-communist fiction and organizing my workplace while you shitpost from your anonymous accounts

strikes work, and that’s why every powerful person wants you to believe they’re bad
And the hearts have been bleeding
Justice and truth and hope failing
Innocents suffering and dying
Homes and cultures burning
Self-crowned leaders lying
The people shouting
But the world only listens
When empire cries
Cue empire’s propaganda
The wringing of hands and clutching of pearls
For the white and delightsome occupiers
The project of genocide
The talking heads voices shake
After decades of silence
As brown bodies and families and cultures
Were bombed and buried and burnt
The blood on the sand
Spilt by the gnashing
Of the dragon with three heads
Is older than most histories
Renewed again
By empires
For oil
Appalachia flooded by the sea
Eastern sands awash in blood
Streets surging with protests
Halls of power flooded by gold
I have to assume that most Americans
Do not have the dreams I do
Tanks rolling through deserts
Leveling cities
Missiles raining down on tents
Toward me
A pressure of pain
And black
A voice: “this might hurt”
Stitching and wrapping
But I can’t feel or see
Then I die

The fact that Adams is the *first* sitting NYC Mayor to face federal criminal charges actually says more about how law enforcement lets mayors of NYC get away with crime than anything else.
Guess they decided to apply the rules to Adams. Can't imagine why... :)

Yesterday marked one of the bloodiest days in Lebanon's history in 32 years. The Israeli government is fast-tracking its genocidal tactics in Lebanon, emboldened by the lack of accountability for its war crimes in Gaza.
The Lebanese Health Ministry reports that the death toll in Lebanon has climbed to at least 558 people, including at least 50 children and 94 women, all killed by the Israeli military. Paramedics and firefighters were also among those killed. This morning an Israeli strike hit southern Beirut. 🧵

Executing Marcellus Williams is not a flaw of the system, it is the function of the system. Abolition now.

“Like all empires, the harsh and violent forms of control that have been used on the 'wretched of the earth,' have migrated back to the homeland in a time of decay to keep the population in check. The tyranny we have imposed on others is now being imposed on us.”
