Thats good news, but bizarrely he is still required to appear in court on May 6 even though he provided his social security card and birth certificate. But not so strange since we are seeing the growth of a state terror apparatus.

It’s not called “land back” everywhere. But there are strong movements and lots to read about recognizing Indigenous land tenure, land reparations and the need for land redistribution and returning land to communities that have lost land rights. We’d need to know the contexts of interest. 1/2

Be on the lookout for these “brownshirts” in our neighborhood, whatever the color of gear they are wearing. Know what to do.

This is a better shot of the size of the crowd at Powder House Square for Rumeysa Ozturk. Less than 24 hours notice.
