The (unionized) German amazon workers have said they are joining the picket line in solidarity with their US counterparts.

The union has been fighting for good faith negotiations and a fair contract for over a year. Amazon skipped the December 15th deadline to come to the table.

Remember, the striking workers are not the reason your orders are delayed.

So I checked up on this case, and it turned out his sentence was reduced…

to 55 years.

55 years for a unsuccessful burglary, theft, and the murder of a friend that was killed by police, when his only crime was breaking and entering when he was 15 years old.

This is the most up to date article I can find on it: https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-lakeith-smith-65-years-idUSKBN243246

As of March 2023, his sentence was reduced to 30 years. I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but if you can even just spread his story, please do! It makes a difference.

Can you imagine everything you know and love burning to the ground like this while the culprit taunts you and the world closes its eyes and remains silent?

Speak up about Sudan.

List of people to follow to keep up with the Sudan crisis and the Darfur genocide.

Concentration camp.

They built a concentration camp.

I don't think words can describe what this other than genocide.

For those curious, this was taken at the Oceti Sakowin camp during the No DAPL protests in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The photograph is titled “Defend the Sacred” by Ryan Vizzions. I did not find the name of the subject on horseback.

All eyes on Rafah. We cannot let this lose traction

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’ve seen so many posts of people arguing or being upset over this celebrity or that musician being shitty and supporting a genocide, not to say these conversations of people being held responsible shouldn’t happen, (they should). But if you’re going to spend so much time obsessing over celebrities, the least you can do is spend 2 minutes watching a video of someone who is actually in Palestine.

ALL EYES ON RAFAH

More affluent older white people jeering and making a mockery of this young person who refuses to be complacent in Google's complicity in the ongoing genocide against Palestinian people. The raw materials used to make their products also depend on exploiting Congolese people -including young children, who mine for cobalt. Google, Apple -any company that relies on suffering, destruction, and death of ANY community around the world needs to be stopped. Keep boycotting. Keep speaking up about these injustices.

Apple and Google named in US lawsuit over Congolese child cobalt mining deaths

Dell, Microsoft and Tesla also among tech firms named in case brought by families of children killed or injured while mining in DRC

Under this is large text that says, ‘Why the fuck do my taxes pay for Israeli healthcare and Palestinian genocide?’ Under this is more small text that reads, ‘You’ve been conditioned to think this is normal and it / most certainly is not.’ The second line has large gaps between words.

More information on how your taxes are used to fund Israel here, broken down state by state. $300,000,000 in taxes from New York State annually, when multiple cities in New York have housing crises.

The little boy who died with an unopened packet of biscuits in his hand. The baby girl who died with an uneaten croissant in her fingers. The boy who was playing football with his friend when his head exploded. All those Palestinian children had futures. And now they’re dead.

Do not look the other way. Do not ignore this. Children are dying. The blood of children is on Israel's hands. Israel is not defending itself, it is taking the chance to commit genocide with the world watching.

The blood of children is on the US's hands. The US sends billions of dollars in aid to Israel. The US is aiding a genocide.

Do not look the other way. Every time you do, you stain your hands with Palestinian blood.
