Toni Morrison - Friendships. We have to see our friendships as a means of survival - the same way our bodies depend on food and water, our bodies depend on communities. The friendships and communities we cultivate makes life liveable.

‘I ain’t gonna condemn nobody for doing righteously what they need to do.’ When we are dying in every way possible because of these imperialist tyrants we will not condemn those who choose to resist in order for us to survive and live. This is a principled position!

On Thursday APD, the FBI, GBI, and ATF executed three search warrants and made one arrest in pursuit of evidence related to an act of arson on police motorcycles. Thursday evening, a journalist asked if organizers [condemn] the arson. @Maryhooks from @CopCityVote responded:

The turning point isn’t that the police are now attacking professors and students. The turning point is that we are connecting our struggles against a fascist imperialist police state. We know policing was designed to oppress and repress now it’s time to organise against them.

Abolition isn’t a theoretical abstract concept - it’s necessary for our survival because the police will continue to brutalise and murder people within our communities because it’s roots are violent not broken but oppressive. It’s designed to oppress us.

To start a genocide to pause a genocide and restart a genocide is psychologically warfare. Israel is a wicked blood thirsty apartheid regime that has the goal to ethnically cleanse and destroy the Palestinian people. You cannot pause genocide! Why is this even a debate!

After nearly 5 months of occupying Deptford Town Hall, we @GoldAntiRacism have successfully fulfilled all of our demands, when people have doubted us, when @GoldsmithsUoL used violence to silence us, students of colour conquered and WON! #goldoccupy

May you all be held accountable in this life and the next for having Iftar with the very politicians who have blood on their hands - the politicians who have caused Palestinians to starve and be murdered. You broke your fast with the oppressors do you have no shame?

Once again these people are so disconnected from the struggles and organising happening on the ground. Defund the police is just a theoretical concept - a slogan to them. For us it’s a necessity to our survival - our existence. 1/2

. @michaeljswalker arguing against ‘defund the police’. At Glastonbury… Range of opinions here! Says you need to focus on creating a more equal society first and that it’s putting the ‘cart before the horse’.

The more we organise the more the imperialist forces will attempt to repress the organising which is currently happening - let’s bring people into our movements not deter them.

We can mobilise numbers we have seen that at Peckham today but we need to become more organised and more militant. The fascist police state will become more violent as we organise for our liberation meaning we have to be more prepared. So many thoughts today. 😭

There’s no other option but to resist by any means. People went through the bureaucratic processes and learnt that nothing changes through corrupt politicians. Mass strikes, disruptions in every sector, walk outs etc must happen now. Everything needs to crumble.

On a serious note, Lewisham suffers from high levels of poverty and inequality. The 29 tonnes of carrots being dumped on the ground shows Goldsmiths lack of care for the wider community and the impact/violence of gentrification in the area.

The imperialist killing machine that is criminalising and killing us banks on the constant divides made through ego based discourses. We are not afforded time and we don’t have time - we need to be organised! Respectfully some of us need to stfu, learn and organise and relearn. 2

Now you want to show sympathy for Palestinians because you see them just as victims. Palestinian resistance will still continue until Palestine is liberated and free. Your sympathy means nothing if you do not stand with Palestinian liberation by any means necessary.
