Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

We Must End the Starvation of Gaza - Buddhist Global Relief A quarter of the way into the 21st century, we would never have expected an economically developed nation to deliberately set out to starve an entire population in a territory under its control. Such ...

How can we end the starvation of Gaza? Here are a few ideas. buddhistglobalrelief.org/we-must-end-...

Hope for the world.

Me: Fascism is bad.
The US Government: That sounds like terrorism.

Portland threatens to evict Ice from Oregon facility over permit violations Records obtained by Street Roots and the Guardian back claim from Oregon city’s mayor that Ice violated a land use permit to detain people overnight

I wrote for @theguardian.com this week (also in print in this week’s @streetroots.bsky.social) on Portland’s investigation into permit violations at the local ICE facility. It’s one tool for a long process that could ultimately provide some accountability, with eviction unlikely, but in the toolbox.

One very wealthy white man got his job back today (along with his 200 staff and production team) because of organizing, boycotts, and collective pushback.

When will we see that same energy for the 320k+ Black women who were pushed out of the labor market?

Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

"Burying the truth of the Confederacy, rewriting its aims and ideas, and ignoring its animating words allowed for the terrorization of the Black population, the imposition of apartheid, and the destruction of democracy." www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Oct. 14 is also George Floyd's birthday. I'll celebrate him on that day.

Just because the GOP is working so hard to stop people from saying it,

this is me saying BOLDLY that Charlie Kirk was a FUCKNG FASCIST ASSHOLE with literally ZERO redeeming qualities.

He was not smart, he was not kind, he was not decent. He made this country worse in every way.

So seriously,

"And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize?"

Antifa

Israel is waging a holocaust in Gaza. Denazification is the remedy The deadly ethno-supremacy inherent to Israeli society runs deeper than Netanyahu, Ben Gvir, and Smotrich. It must be confronted at its root.

"Israel is unleashing a holocaust in Gaza, and it cannot be dismissed as the will of the country's current fascist leaders alone."

"What we are witnessing is the final stage in the nazification of Israeli society."
#Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide

"We have no choice now but to organize and fight back on every level."

Antifa is not an organization but a state of mind. Be more Antifa.

Good, but this is not the first step. Protesters have circumambulated the ICE building, built an Occupation there, faced violence and toxic gas, and have returned over and over to say WE WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS. Finally, a mayor is doing something. Not, as he says, a foregone conclusion.

There has been virtually no news from Gaza in the past six hours due to a communications blackout caused by ongoing Israeli attacks.

This is deeply alarming.

It bears repeating that if you are anti-anti-fascist, you’re just a fascist.

Vaguely designating antifa a terrorist organization is just an attack on the left and anyone who tries to stand in the way of a fascist agenda.

1. starving people 2. denying people healthcare and they die 3. denying people shelter 4. increasing police budgets

Assassination isn't the only form of political violence.

if you fly your flags at half mast for this POS i will not frequent your business. OR CHURCH. VERY CHRISTIAN.

Honestly people who believed the initial @wsj.com lies about the bullets just failed a basic media literacy test.
The WSJ is just printing white wing press releases and if you don’t know that by now I don’t know what to tell you.

U.S. Depression Rate Remains Historically High More than 18% of U.S. adults report depression, with rates doubling among young adults since 2017. Loneliness and financial hardship are key contributing factors.

They say they have pictures of a guy and found a bolt action rifle with bullets engraved with trans and antifa messages wraped in a towel and left in the woods nearby which apparently they "just happened to search". Something that screams plant and makes targeted assassination more likely.

I'm open to the possibility this is real but just for context here's how DOJ was talking about trans people just last week

They don’t even know. Just saying anything.

You can’t scrub away the truth.

And if you believe that, I have a square foot of Yukon land to sell you.
