What do you do when the sound of war is blended with sounds of entertainment…. How do your wounds know to heal when you don’t know if you are supposed to be amused or about to be abused.

These past two years should have been filled with everyone organizing around state terror but instead it was just the masses pretending to be weak so they could be comfortable.

I keep thinking about how there is no here and there. How we watched every hospital and university in Gaza get attacked and destroyed and now we see our hospitals and universities come under fire.There is literally no here and there. Just conditioning of complicity and silence from the bootlickers.

All these white men in power just want to see white men in power and will destroy anyone and everything to see it happen. Thats what we are seeing locally and globally.

It’s actually astonishing how y’all let these Protestant white women elected officials cosplay as Jewish and make a mockery of the real fear and trauma caused by the Nazi holocaust because they have dreams of being in the White House some day.

If violence is to have no place in politics then politics must stop being violent.

First thing, Gainey lost a loved one to community violence and has used that experience as a driving force to do what he can to stop killing and death wherever it may be. For him, it is addressing violence not chasing headlines.

These are journalists and their families being taken right as the ground invasion of Gaza begins. You can say you didn’t care but you can never say you didn’t know.

Activist industrial complex: reducing in police brutality. Getting people housed. Protecting victims of sexual violence. Developing local business owners. Holding corporate exploiters accountable. Refusing to accept crumbs from the master’s table. Being for the people.

You cannot fundraise for a foreign military then say you have no control over international issues. You cannot use your position of power to send millions for bombs and weapons and say you are not responsible for how they are used.
