@wizard_bisan1 has called for a global strike!!

You might be wondering "what does this look like for me?" And truly it's going to look a little different for everybody because this is not an organized strike. But one day with our collective endurance and willingness to divest from the system it will be. So this is what it could look like for you till the 28th

1. You can call out of work or school for the week or as many days as possible.

2. Try to only buy the essentials, preferably with cash.

3. donate money to mutual aid efforts @mansourshouman7 @unrwa

5. cancel subscriptions!

6. call your representatives!! @5calls

7. pull whatever amount of money you want out of your bank account.

8. Post about Palestine!!! Post from journalists on the ground like @hindkhoudary @nooh.xp @belalkh and others in the diaspora @anat.international and @gazangirl @sbeih.jpg

9. Attend protests and demonstrations.

10. Wear your kaffiyeh proudly!

11. Continue to talk to friends and family about the 🧬ocide happening in Gaza and the West Bank.

12. continue boycotting #starbucks , #disney / #marvel, and mcdonalds!! check out @bdsnationalcommittee to see what else you can boycott

“I didn’t know what a fool they had made out of me until I grew up and started to read real history”
- Assata Shakur
(Assata: An Autobiography)

“Ignorance is always correctable.”
- Neil Postman
(Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Discourse In the Age of Show Business)

I thought I understood this kind of paradigm shift six years ago when in the wake of George Floyd’s murder at the hands of officer Derek Chauvin we were called upon by Black people across the country to educate ourselves and join in a fight for a better world where Black lives mattered. Then after Oct. 7th when asked by Palestinians to educate ourselves I began to understand the magnitude of the capitalist system we all live under. At that point I was forced to look up at the world outside of my countries borders and the material conditions that had led us all here witnessing on our phones daily a live streamed genocide of the Palestinian people by Israel in Gaza.

I had to reckon with the reality that while I fed, clothed and held my child, oppressed mothers around the world couldn’t, whether that be easily or at all, because their children were being harmed and murdered by my government. I’ve never felt more culpable in my life which is why I refuse to stay silent. My soul would eat itself alive if I simply tried to ignore and move on. Imperial propaganda is strong. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised I woke up fully after Oct.7th. I’m still getting over the anger with myself for not seeing it all before but I take solace in knowing that if I can wake up others can too and I believe they have especially here in this Disneyland of American privilege.
In honor of Black August I encourage you to please read Assata’s book “Assata: An Autobiography”. As the unfinished story of colonialism unfolds around us we must all start our de-colonial journey somewhere because fascism has always fed on our ignorance. To remain ignorant at a time like this is profoundly selfish and individualistic. by @dandylion42

“Ultimately we cannot see our way clear to requiring Alabamians to cast their votes in the 2026 elections under a districting plan tainted by intentional race-based discrimination”.

This is what the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, a three-judge federal panel, wrote in their preliminary injunction issued this past Monday May 25th, effectively thwarting the Republican parties attempt to dilute Black Alabamian’s votes through obvious gerrymandering.

However this has not stopped Gov. Kay Ivey from voiding the recent primary election results for Senate Districts 25 and 26 and setting special elections hoping to win the seats for the republican majority.

It’s obvious that the fascists in power and billionaire class desire a return of the same Jim Crow laws and restrictions that allowed for racist segregation and disenfranchisement in the South for decades. This is why we must organize and unite as a society to bury the oligarchy that fuels this exploitative and corrupt system. Only when We The People control our own destiny will we ever see a real change in this country.

We must unite together to bury the capitalist class that supports imperialist suffering across the world and work to plant a new tomorrow.

Slide 1-3 are photos of a tshirt print design.

Slide 4 is a "Bury Jim Crow" Labour Youth League commemorative pin and the inspiration for the above "Bury The Oligarchy" print design. The LYL were a Marxist/Leninist youth organization affiliated with the Communist party and established in 1949. They worked to mobilize the working class around civil rights and workers rights. by @dandylion42

"The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality."

-James Baldwin

You should be silent when children are sleeping not when they're being massacred by the Israeli occupying state. Please consider using your voice to raise the voices of Palestinians in Palestine. Speak about the genocide that our us tax dollars are paying for and remember that all the children are our children. Pictured: my daughter and nephew. by @dandylion42
