Finished this book and can't recommend it enough. You can read it yourself, help get it in libraries and help get it to prisoners.

Carney calls Israel denying humanitarian aid in Gaza 'violation of international law'Β  | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling for Israel’s control of aid distribution to be replaced amid reports of mass starvation in Gaza.

As people in #Gaza starve, any criticisms of Israel by Western leaders that aren't matched by serious forms of punitive action should be met with contempt and derision.

July 19, 1936: In the face of the fascist military coup, the people of Barcelona, led by anarchist militias, rose in arms. This began a struggle that kept the city free of Falangists until 1938 & opened space for a great experiment in workers' self-management & horizontal political structures. #OTD

Scrolling through the news, I feel like there’s a lot we could learn from Sakai, Butch Lee, and Dhoruba bin Wahad (not that I think they would even be in agreement). Just a thought off the top of my head.
