Official Release from Daughter on the Passing of Assata Shakur At approximately 1:15 PM on September 25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her last earthly breath. Words cannot describe the depth of loss that I am feeling at this time. I want to thank you for your loving prayers that continue to anchor me in the strength that I need in this moment. My spirit is overflowing in unison with all of you who are grieving with me at this time. Sending much love and appreciation to you all, Kakuya Shakur

BLIND ARCHINE Dashboard If you feel rage and despair, good. That means you are human. That you know the difference between right and wrong. That means your conscience is intact. That means you yearn for Palestinian life to thrive. Let that rage move you. Let that grief become action. Because Palestinians don't need our thoughts and prayers. They need us to break the siege. To support the infrastructures of survival that they have built. To move money from the imperial core towards life-making in Gaza. To raise hell. To organize. To act. Your grief is valid. But grief alone won't save a life. Solidarity might.
# BLIND ARCHIVE Dashboard Hold that fire close. Let it burn away the numbness, the helplessness, the lie that there is nothing more you can do. There is so much you can do. Every dollar sent, every fundraiser link shared, every protest joined, every conversation interrupted to make sure that someone has said "Palestine", every war , every war machine sabotaged, every system disrupted β these are just a small handful of the cracks in the walls of empire.
# BIND ARCHIVE Dashboard = These are lifelines to the living. Refuse the story that tells you your power is limited to bearing witness. You are not a spectator to this. You are a participant. Your choices matter. Your solidarity matters. The genocide depends on silence, despair, and resignation. So let it find you ungovernable. Let it find you loud. Unrelenting. Impossible to ignore. Gaza is not gone. The people are still there. And they are still fighting. Meet them in that fight.
New post on Blind Archive: βTo Starve a People: Gaza & the Settler Biopolitics of Healthβ
TLDR is let your grief & horror become action. Give all the material support you can directly to Gazans.
The genocide depends on despair. Let it find you ungovernable. Loud. Unrelenting.
