Assata Shakur did not die in chains. She died a free revolutionary.

The number of protests she blessed with these words, the number of meetings we closed or opened with this prayer!! I am so grateful for her. Rest in power Assata Shakur. You lived and you died free.

Tweet from Tanisha long with pictures of Assata

β€œAssata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her.
Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken.
Rest Free, Assata.”

are grieving with me at this time.
Sending much love and appreciation to you

"A wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living
I believe in birth
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port."

Charlie Kirk's positions were actually fairly
moderate. And yet they killed him for them and
celebrated the murder. If you or your loved ones
held those beliefs, they would do the same to you
without remorse.

its so funny how so many ppl r pearl clutching over charlie kirk meanwhile dont blink an eye over the thousands of children who die by gun violence each year. or the genocide in palestine. or even when melissa hortman was assassinated in her own home.

Those reading this as approval of Kirk’s killing are reading words that aren’t there. I don’t want to live in a world of normalized violence. Charlie Kirk spent his life ensuring we all have to live in such a world. We do everything a disservice to elide the reality of that.

Charlie Kirk spent his lifeβ€˜s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

All opinions on #charliekirk aside the impact this will have on the political & news landscape is gonna be something else & serve as a huge justification point for whatever madness they decide to implement next for the sake of β€œpublic safety.”

Now Israel's own Supreme Court rules that the Israeli Govt is starving them. Is Israel's Supreme Court now "Hamas" too?

These Are War Crimes. Western Media remains silent & shamefully complicit.

Human Rights Lawyer Qasim Rashid:

Israel’s Supreme Court just ruled that the Israeli Govt is intentionally depriving thousands of Palestinian prisoners of even a minimum amount of food for daily subsistence.

Israel holds ~10,000 Palestinians hostageβ€”without charge, trial, or conviction... πŸ‘‡
