Palestine & Palestinians have brought us into a new moment of global study and struggle. Sitting both with unspeakable pain and unbelievable hope. Witnessing so much of humanity connected towards liberation and the life-affirming, a global movement against settler colonialism

Racial capitalism breeds carcerality as carcerality maintains racial capitalism. Fascists burning a police car isnโ€™t opposition to the function of policing, but its perceived mobilisation. Policing has always been mobilised as it does currently - to legitimise violence.
