A couple comrades & I made this short documentary in Cuba about the material impact of the genocidal US blockade & the revolutionary resilience of the Cuban people in the face of imperial aggression. Would really appreciate if you watched & shared!
As riots in Minneapolis continue, a center for low-income housing put out a call asking for food donations.
This is how people responded.
There was so much food it became a distribution center for anyone — at all — who needed it.
Humanity.🌎❤️😇
PALESTINIANS repaired the damaged infrastructure bombed by the Zionist enemy, funded by you. PALESTINIANS, with air strikes raining from above, repaired infrastructure for internet connection. How dare you dirty colonizers take credit for that
The restoration of communications in Gaza was critical.
Aid workers, civilians, and journalists need to be able to communicate to each other and the rest of the world. Our Administration cared about this, worked on it, and are glad to see it restored.
we are now seeing making perfunctory changes being made to the superstructure (making art, media, advertising 'less racist') in order to appease protesters and distract from material changes to the base (abolishing cops, prisons, and redistributing capital)
“but my parents suffered under communism!!” says a white republican cuban from Miami whose parents were plantation-owning landlords & left Cuba because their land was taken away from them for the welfare of the working-class
this is the stupidest hashtag. it’s the epitome of diaspora crocodile tears for shit they are not discriminated for. this woman is literally a Brahmin millionaire
Stop making “rlly makes u think 😢 “art”” out of a violent, murderous piece of fascist apparatus that working-class Black & Brown communities are actively trying to tear down and dismantle. It’s disgusting and an affront to their labor & trauma.
Artists installed seesaws at the border wall so that kids in the U.S. and Mexico could play together. It was designed by architect Ronald Rael.
Beautiful reminder that we are connected: what happens on one side impacts the other.

it's crazy to think about how the visual economy of protest that white journalists/photographers often capitalize off of to further their careers enables COINTELPRO-like measures against Black protesters....rest in power to Edward Crawford.
When considering journalism’s role in moments like this, I always come back to this photo.
Richard Cohen, the man who took this photograph, won a Pulitzer.
Edward Crawford, the young man photographed here, died suspiciously two years later.
This installation is in the lobby of the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They're the broken glasses of democratically-elected Marxist Chilean President, Salvador Allende, who was killed in a US-backed coup on this day (September 11) in 1973.
For historical context, IBM literally developed the census technologies for the Nazi Regime & Japanese internment camps. They have been the technological backbone for fascism.
The U.S. continues to advocate for open and free press around the world and accountability for those who attack press freedom. On International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, we honor these brave journalists who continue to hold governments to account.
the use of "banana republic" is so fucking ironic - it literally refers to countries destroyed by the imperialist economic hegemony & murderous exploitation by the United States' United Fruit Company -- mono-cropping (of bananas) a country into agricultural and economic ruin.
Statement by former President George W. Bush: "This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic – not our democratic republic. I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election."
Deaths from the earthquake in Turkey and Syria have surpassed 36,000.
Rescuers are "digging with our nails" to reach survivors — some still being found after 7 days under rubble.
But the UN warns deaths may eventually double, and survivors in northwest Syria "feel abandoned."
Iranians are fearing for their life & impending genocide, destruction, and brutality, and the brazen arrogance of white Americans to joke about it is absolutely disgusting
As the marijuana industry continues to grow, there are people of color sitting behind bars for doing the exact same thing. It's time we changed the system.

the privatization of public spaces is violence. punishing houseless folks for having to live through a capitalist system that left them houseless in the first place is violence.
you see how contact tracing applications aren’t just neutral forms of information collection? GPS-Based surveillance is being used for criminalization of Palestinians for protesting against settler-colonial & Zionist violence
Many Palestinians are receiving this message to their phones.
“Hello!
You have been identified to have taken part in violent acts at Al-Aqsa Mosque. We will hold you accountable.
- Israeli intelligence.”
Israel likely using a GPS system, like the one for corona outbreaks.
If the Betsy Ross Flag, the flag of the American Revolution, is too offensive for Nike to commemorate The 4th of July maybe Nike should go with this... seems to be more in line with their views.
Our brave border patrol agents are getting kicked in the teeth by the media. Please retweet if you appreciate the hard work these agents do to keep us AND immigrants safe & secure. Much of their work is search & rescue of illegal immigrants but the leftists won’t talk about that!
