Excellent read: “[Coretta Scott King] was a committed international peace activist, helping to found the Committee for a Sane Nuclear Policy in 1957 & serving as a delegate for the Women’s Strike for Peace to the 1962 Disarmament Conference in Geneva.“ https://open.substack.com/pub/prisonculture/p/coretta-scott-king-and-looking-backwards

Yesterday, SCOTUS ruled that Virginia can purge citizens from the voting rolls just 6 days before Election Day, while voting is ongoing. If you know folks in VA, remind them that same-day registration is available. Wherever you are, check your status and vote early. Also, law is an illusion, I guess, so do more crime! If the ruling class can, so should we! https://www.lawdork.com/p/scotus-conservatives-allow-virginias

Actually reading Georgia State Representative Ruwa Romman's speech makes it clear how much of an easy win this would be for the Democratic Party. It's full of hype for the Party and hopefulness and is exactly the kind of thing that fits into a DNC-type event. True unforced error if they continue to resist having any Palestinian voices centered https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2024/08/dnc-speech-uncommitted-movement-harris-walz-ruwan-romman/

On April 15th, people from over 30 cities around the world will launch a global economic blockade answering the call from Gaza to fight for a liberated Palestine
75 years & 182 days into this US backed genocide, we must take collective risk beyond symbolic acts of solidarity

We will not cooperate with the police
If a blockade in one city faces repression, we will respond in solidarity in other cities

Join us in organizing towards our collective liberation

APRIL 15th: Coordinated economic blockade for a liberated Palestine 🇵🇸

Join the evolution from symbolic marches to direct action.

We commit to a coordinated multi-city economic blockade to block the arteries of capitalism and jam the wheels of production that facilitate colonialism & genocide.

Our collective liberation is tied to a free Palestine. Another world is possible.

@Chicory @tzimmer_history finally, it reverses the power relationship. The leadership of the Democratic Party has far more power than some voter appalled at our government materially supporting genocide, yet the podcast offered no critique of the Dems’ broad strategy of catering to imaginary “centrists” and abandoning their activist base, which has proven to have electoral implications no matter how naive you want to believe individual voters are

@Chicory @tzimmer_history Mason’s comment at the end about it just being about “selling” Biden the candidate or that uncommitted voters would “consider … Trump as successful” is actually a complete misread of the uncommitted voters and general criticism from the left of the leadership of the Democratic Party, both in terms of the sentiment and in terms of the broad strategy and specific tactic in the primary vote casting

@Chicory @tzimmer_history instead, Mason & Zimmer trotted out the low hanging fruit of tired “lesser-evil” arguments without really engaging with the strategic and tactical calculations of “uncommitted” voters, especially at such a critical time. If they were going to address this, I’d hope they’d bring the same rigor they often do, but this wasn’t it (there’s also no treatment of increased police funding, breaking a railroad strike, etc.)

Minutes after the IDF fired on Palestinians trying to get to food aid, Israeli National Security Minister Ben-Gvir again called for the end of humanitarian aid to #Gaza and characterized the IOF soldiers who fired on a hungry crowd trying to get bags of flour as "heroic fighters" https://aje.io/gs2k6y?update=2740481 #FreePalestine

I'm running a 5k early next month to raise money for UNRWA. Please donate if you can, since all the major world governments think it's better to fund genocide than humanitarian aid https://getinvolved.unrwausa.org/mkranz #FreePalestine #unrwa #gaza

It’s absolutely ghoulish that, a day after the ICJ ruled that “Israel must take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” Israel began a campaign to cut off support to UNRWA. So far, the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland & Finland have suspended funds going to the aid organization #freepalestine

What a horrifying material reality that gives rise to sentences like this one: "Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians remain in the path of the fighting in northern Gaza, despite Israel’s repeated calls for them to evacuate to the territory’s south, which is also being bombarded." https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-war-gaza-news-11-2-2023-6a398d4aeba979aef24960efc31eb772

I am running a marathon distance on Sunday and am dedicating the first 25 miles of it to solidarity with the people of Gaza (the length of the strip). I'm asking friends to donate to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund and I'm going to match the total contributions and then have my job match that donation. I am organizing this on FB, but, if you reply or message me with how much you gave independently, I'll match that, too https://www.facebook.com/donate/306718878826983 #FreePalestine #Gaza #Marathon

I also keep thinking about how Israel and Zionism is a trap for Jewish people, binding out safety to a European settler colonial effort necessitated on the displacement of indigenous people. Whether Palestinians or Jewish people die, gentiles win 5/5

Laced within we’ve got anti-semitism and Islamophobia tinting everyone’s vision. I have thoughts on how Zionism has even colonized Jewish identity so that anti-Zionist Jewish people are either silenced or called “self-hating,” but that’s for another day 4/5

On the other, we’ve got the consistency, scale, breadth, and power of Israel’s violence (as well as its resonance with other colonial struggles) 3/5
