DHS & ICE are 22 years old. The idea that they need to be reformed rather than abolished shows the extreme power of propagandization in less than half a generation.

Their power is in our compliance. We can live w/out them. Most of us have.

Israel's plan for Gaza sadistically echoes what the US gov't did to Indigenous tribes in order to ethnically cleanse them from their land via starvation & death marches.

It's really no wonder the US & Israel get along so well...

Lenses for "Reality" on truths rather than Truth.

We don't see reality. Like scientifically speaking, we can't. So what does that mean for the distorted reality that we DO see, how we see it & how we interact with it to form the future?

By looking at how we learn history, we can understand the why and better dissect the nefarious ways in which history is used to shackle us to a particular political present, and future.

The carceral system works hard to keep inmates quiet & the public unaware.

Just stfu and hit play on your phone. The journos in Gaza have the message that viewers of corporate media need to see. Your arguments for why genocide is bad aren't working. Let ppl see for themselves what corporate media censorship & filter bubbles are keeping from them.

Since corporate media refuses to uplift the work of journos in Gaza, the next time anyone is invited onto a network to share even a remotely non-Zio perspective, I challenge you to just hold up your phone and play the footage from Gaza that is being purposefully censored.

The Colonialist Gaze The many witnesses to genocide...

A livestreamed genocide offers up a new frontier of engagement & removal.
Seeing a genocide does not indicate which side you're on. All Eyes on Gaza is a paltry framing for a colonialist gaze conflating watching w/ acting. We gotta do better.

A main propaganda point in the war on terror was to “save the women” in the Middle East…
Today, Noor Abdalla gave birth w/out her husband Mahmoud Khalil bc he was kidnapped for speaking out against a genocide where women hold their beheaded children beneath US bombs.

The state lies to you in the present, why would you expect it to tell the truth about the ppl's history?
Indeed, for the sake of its own preservation, it can't.

Telling our history is grassroots organizing & it'll never come from the state.

Can We Be Honest About Marches? aka parades.

Marches aren't useless.
They're just not useful in the ways most ppl think.
They don't leverage our power & therefore tactically shouldn't take up NEARLY as much time & energy as they do. Let's be honest.
