Yesterday, Israeli settlers from an ilegal settlement in the West Bank of Palestine did a pogrom against Arabs in the town of Jit. This is what you can read about it today in Walla:

* The pogrom is called a riot and there is no mention of it being "terrorism" of any kind.
* The West Bank is called Samaria.
* The so called Kedumim Council is an internationally recognised ilegal settlement, like all in the West Bank.
* Stone throwing by Palestinians, however, is called "terrorist incidents".

Today, on the eve of the Democratic National Convention, the people of #Boston join thousands across the United States to say with one voice: #NOTANOTHERBOMB.

Join us at the Park Street T Station at 4 pm.

I couldn't find the audio, but some npr affiliate just did a program about this overpopulation concern started in the 60s when this author got on the Tonight Show. He basically wrote about being in a taxi on a crowded Indian street, and all the poor brown people made him say the world is getting overpopulated and will collapse by the 1970s or some other rubbish.

Fascist totalitarianism's “organizational form” was “inspired by the totalitarian party that had first been tested and developed in Russia”. (“Fascism was [is] a desperate attempt to defend the bourgeois economy from the dual threat of crisis and proletarian subversion, a state of siege in which capitalist society saved itself by giving itself an emergency dose of rationalization in the form of massive state intervention.“) “Although fascism rallies to the defense of the main icons of a bourgeois ideology that has become conservative (family, private property, moral order, patriotism), while mobilizing the petty bourgeoisie and the unemployed workers who are panic-stricken by economic crises or disillusioned by the socialist movement's failure to bring about a revolution, it is not itself fundamentally ideological. It presents itself as what it is—a violent resurrection of myth calling for participation in a community defined by archaic pseudovalues: race, blood, leader. Fascism is ... the most costly method of preserving the capitalist order....” (Thesis 109, p 55) (Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord)

@thefinalstrawradio This person had a lot to say about Asheville's racial history and food/community projects and found humor in just about everything!

@softdrink421 I saw some of this movie and thought it might have been inappropriate that the lady kissed the boy to teach him how to kiss the girl.

Before the intense police incursion and taser incident etc earlier, most of the barricade perimeter looked like this as dozens of students carried out a seemingly spontaneous act of mass defiance

The same formation of Philly PD riot police and others are still staged immediately nearby the occupied Drexel green as student protesters who seem intent on staying are taking in a Know Your Rights training from legal observers

A Philly PD officer drew a taser on Drexel students and had to be stopped/held back by other cops during the earlier initial police push before they withdrew back to the barricades - before this clip taken earlier a PPD white shirt was heard yelling in frustration at underlings

Philly PD Counter-Terrorism Operations and other units are moving into the camp after many students present spontaneously began dismantling the barricades

@Niusha picture alt text—animated slideshow with scenes about tortured Iranian children, Amnesty International logos, and "Protect the Protest". It looks like most of the text is written in Arabic. The picture isn't hidden, so take care before clicking on this reply to see the thread.

Twenty years ago today, demonstrators attempted to shut down cities around the United States in response to George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. In San Francisco, for example, anarchists and other protesters successfully blockaded the financial district while a black bloc attacked army recruiting stations. Police responded by arresting 2200 people in that city alone.

Had we succeeded in stopping the invasion of Iraq, we would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives—and likely prevented the rise of the Islamic State, among countless other tragedies. If we had fought harder, it would have been worth it, even if the consequences for us had been severe.

This is the poster we circulated to promote the day of action on March 20, 2003. Let us never underestimate the stakes of our struggles. 🏴
