I think it’s fine, to relinquish mine, for the life of our seeds For the weak moves these dudes eat your food like Harpies Not just car thieves, large pleas, came home hardened murderers By the death toll would’ve guessed the threshold was guarded by Cerberus

“One reason various institutions are crumbling and the people in charge of them so unpopular is that the material reality they defend is so different from their own professed values. They claim to value the “rule of law” but only enforce some laws against some people some of the time. They claim to value “public safety” but pursue policies that make most people less safe. They claim to value liberty but jail hundreds of thousands of society’s poorest people solely because they lack access to cash. They claim to value equality but ensure a small number of people control nearly every major decision. They claim to value evidence but pursue policies that defy evidence. They claim to value health but let us all be regularly poisoned and then destroy the opportunity for most people to get quality health care. They claim to value merit but ensure that fealty to power is what gets rewarded in elite institutions. As a result, establishment politicians, university presidents, and pundits are constantly speaking gibberish instead of being real with people.”

[B]ecause reporting on drugs omits the evidence about costs and benefits of drug enforcement from each individual news story […], people in power avoid daily confrontation about why their assertions about their own motivations don’t match the evidence. [And] because people are not informed about the institutional benefits of the drug war to certain political, racial, bureaucratic, and financial interests, they don’t develop an accurate theory of why the drug war is still happening.

"This is a huge nation dominated by the most reactionary and violent ruling class in the history of the world, where the majority of the people just simply cannot understand that they are existing on the misery and discomfort of the world. They have been hypnotized into believing that criticism of the expansionist policies of imperialism is really isolationist or injurious to both the U.S.A. and the world!"

George Jackson, Blood in My Eye (1972)

This is Trey Reed. A 21 year old college student.

He was found hanging from a tree on the Delta State University campus on September 15th at 7 A.M with the police suggesting it was a suicide. The problem with that is the student body, which has stated that he suffered from both arms and legs broken and suspecting it to be a lynching.

No major media outpost is talking about it. There are no flags hung at half mass for him. Hell, there's not even gonna be an investigation, and that not okay. Not to his family, not to his friends.

Don't let his death fly under the radar.

Listen/purchase: Halalalalayya - هلالاليا by Majazz Project / Palestine Sound Archive

“Al Fajer Group was established in Kuwait in 1987, co-founded by four artists: Sima Kanaan (Vocals), Bashar Shammout (Guitar) Jameel Saraj (Oud and Guitar) and Nizar Alyan (Percussion). Al Fajer Group became known for their unique frequencies and the transparency of their sound. The band is rooted in acoustic oud, guitar and percussion and they never used any electronic equipment during their sets. When they were first established they would perform Palestinian patriotic songs, related to the Palestinian liberation struggle. They released their launch album, recorded on reel tapes, during the First Intifada in 1988, after which they began composing and writing their own original music. They were unable to release this due to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, when all the band members were forced to leave the country and could not reunite to release the second album. During the limited time in which they were able to work together, they participated in multiple tours in Kuwait, Iraq, Germany and other locations.”

INLAND EMPIRE (2006) dir. David Lynch

“I found a seed, a little seed, the smallest in the world. And it’s name was Hate. I buried it in my mind and watered it with tears. No seed ever had a better gardener. As it swelled and cracked into green life I felt my nation tremble, tremble in the throes of birth—and burst out bloom and branch”

Dambudzo Marechera, in “House of hunger”
