April 20, 2025 - Armed group "Defense of the Rights of French Prisoners" (DDPF) carried out an arson and automatic weapon attack on the home of a prison officer in Lyon.
The group offers bounties in exchange for addresses of prison personnel; from âŹ1000,- for normal prison guards up to âŹ5000,- for the address of the highest-ranking prison warden. [video]
my personal argument for open borders is really simple it just boils down to "i believe restricting human movement and barring certain people from certain places on this earth is a human rights violation"
i mean this. everyone should be able to walk freely between mexico and the united states, fuck an ID, fuck a passport, fuck a visa. it's land, continuous, uninterrupted land. the soil on one side of the fense has the same geologic makeup of the soil on the other. we drew this invisible line in the sand, we can wipe it away with our feet together. it is well past time the world organizes en masse for our freedom of movement.

Katy Perry's $28 million space mission... Is there anyone left who hasn't followed what happened with the all-female space crew? I don't think there's anyone left who hasn't, as everyone thinks women are weak and unable to do the impossible, but the world hasn't looked at the extraordinary woman here in Gaza, the woman who carried the remains of her beloved son in her hands and screamed and screamed, calling and calling, but no one responded. So she had no choice but to bury him with her own hands... Everyone thinks space is far away, but what's truly far away is the humanity of the world... I want you to help a woman who takes care of two little girls, her husband is injured, and she lives in a tent. She tried hard to spread her campaign, but she hasn't received any donations yet (please be the first to donate to her)
And help this mother who lost her fetus in the bombing and endured pain and hunger. She is a woman who needs support
I honestly donât know how to answer when someone asks, âHow are you in Gaza?â What should I say? That weâre okay while our loved ones lie beneath the rubble? That weâre holding on while we have no shelter, no food, no medicine?Even the simplest question has become too heavy for our hearts to carry.
I write this from deep within the darkness, hoping for a glimmer of light. Your donation could give us a chance to survive.
Please donât turn away from my family. You can donate through GoFundMe or directly via PayPal. Even the smallest support can mean the world to us.
ive posted about this campaign before but unfortunately it hasnt gotten a lot of traction. i can personally vouch for this fundraiser, my irl friend who i have worked with on palestine solidarity stuff is organizing it.
abdul al shanti, a taxi driver, lost everything he had when the genocidal israeli army bombed his home. his family has been displaced many times and every displacement is expensive and exhausting. theyre currently living in a tent with no access to basic necessities
abduls daughter was born 10 days before the war and she suffering from skin diseases and needs medicine which is extremely expensive. this money will also go towards his elderly mother and other older relatives that heâs sheltering with.
you can read abduls own words on his experiences in this genocide on his instagram shantiabd, which you can follow to keep up with the campaign
in addition to the bombings which just massacred so many people tonight, the blocking of aid resulting in high prices and unavailability of medicine and food is genocidal tactic of the israeli army meant to exterminate people, like the nazi ghettos. your donations can help this family survive, so please dont hesitate to donate. if you cant, share this with someone who can
Hi, my name is Sandhana. I am helping my friend, whose home has been destroyed in Gaza ci⊠Sandhana Siva needs your support for Help A
Zionists not wanting to be compared to nazis is amazing maybe if you didnât practice ethnonationalism and endorse genocide you wouldnât be compared to ethnonationalist genociders
President Donald Trump said tech-specific tariffs are coming soon, dampening optimism over an electronics exemption and underscoring that no
Trump meets with Bukele: The Trump administration and El Salvadorâs President Nayib Bukele made clear during an Oval Office meeting today that the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador wonât be brought back to the US. White House officials have argued itâs up to El Salvador whether to do so, despite a Supreme Court ruling that the US must âfacilitateâ his return.
Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: When his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. âThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, âNo, heâs not the one,â like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, âTake him anyway.'â
That moment marked the beginning of Wilmerâs search for answers â answers heâs still waiting for.
Meet the Jewish parents whose families have split since October 7
Two months after October 7, Sarahâs* eleven-year-old daughter Talia* quietly deposited the Star of David she had been given as a baby on her motherâs dressing room table. It was not a casual gesture. The previous week, she had told her mother that she was resigning as a Jew.
...
âAfter the big march against antisemitism in London in November 2023, I kept a big Israeli flag in our kitchen but it would regularly disappearâ says Sarah âWhen I asked Talia if it was anything to do with her, she confessed and said she didnât want her best friend, a non-Jewish girl and frequent visitor to our home to see it.â
...
Dalia*, an Israeli and Israel activist in London, knows all about the yelling that often accompanies in this inter-generational rift.
âMy daughter has screamed that I am a Nazi and I have called her a kapo which I regret but I am horrified by the anti-Israel sentiments that come out of her mouth.â
Her 22-year-old daughter works in the arts and Dalia thinks this is part of the problem. âBeing anti-Israel is an article of faith in her professional circles and if you are dare to stand up for Israel, you are bullied.â
Could cry you know. I could cry and I do feel like crying but uh. What's the point? I am just speechless that people can donate and reach $75000 in a day on a scam but when requested to donate to a fundraiser, a huge portion of fandom bloggers will accuse the families of being scammers and bots.
Hard Truths about the Hands Off protest on April 5th
on a politics of delusion, hypocrisy, and comfort
As the media quibble over whether Saturdayâs âHands Offâ protests brought out millions of peaceful protesters or just hundreds of thousands, I think itâs vital to speak more seriously.
It is far too late in the game to forget:
Up until three months ago when they were pushed out of power, the Democrats were deporting more people than the last Republican administrations and upholding a border policy that kills over a thousand people a year
The Democrats consistently fund and arm genocide, and they bear a huge share of the responsibility for the murder of over 100,000 Palestinians and the displacement of over 2 million more
The Democrats turned their backs on trans people at the drop of the hat, at a moment when lethal threats against our trans friends, family, and neighbors is growing on every front
The Democrats did almost nothing to stand up to the rampant xenophobia coming from most media; they were even too cowardly and too racist to make the instrumentalizing, self-serving argument that âprices would go up and our economy would collapse without immigrant laborâ and instead pitched themselvesâaccurately for onceâas anti-immigrant
The Democrats and their huge host of non-profits were more effective than the cops in pacifying and obstructing the anti-police, anti-racist movements of 2009, 2014, 2020, through bad-jacketing (âthe rioters are actually cops/militia members/privileged white peopleâ), the criminalization and silencing of the people who actually made up those uprisings, candlelight vigils and media-focused parades led by Black politicians and figureheads backed by white money, promises to defund the police that they reneged on once the rioting died down, reforms they knew would do nothing, leaving real people vulnerable and unable to defend ourselves even as the far Right was provoked and energized
The Democrats have made sure the only mainstream alternative to climate denialism is counterproductive greenwashing and green energy investment, fueling genocide and massive scale mining while also causing greenhouse gas emissions to continue rising past the point were billions of deaths and extinction of half the species on the planet is now our likely future
Every step of the way, through incompetence, cowardice, or profit-motive, they have made it easy for the far Right to shift the political center line into ever more dangerous territory
It is insanely delusional to believe that the Democrats are capable of changing in a meaningful way, and it is insanely delusional to trust them. They are guilty of genocide, mass murder, mass incarceration, impoverishment, bloody wars, and oppressive politics. The system they uphold, the system they promise can be reformed if we just trust them one more time, has condemned this generation and the next one and the next one to a future of unimaginable suffering, danger, and poverty.
I say this as someone who depends on Medicaid and food stamps, both of which I am more likely to lose under the Trump administration: the political distance between Democrats and Republicans is not enough to make a difference between death and survival, between humiliation and dignity, between oppression and freedom.
Any older folks reading this who think the Democrats deserve another chance, or theyâre the best alternative we have? You probably did alright under the economy of the past half century. Well guess what? Your kids, your grandchildren, and your great grandchildren are all f*cked because the system you think can be reformed has been enslaving, bombing, genociding, ecoding, deforesting, pillaging, and exploiting for the last 500+ years and now itâs time to pay the piper. Nowâforget getting a mortgageâthe conditions for life on this entire planet are becoming increasingly inimical to basic survival. The signs of this, the data, the peer-reviewed reports are everywhere you look, yet you have your heads so far up your asses because I guess itâs comfier that way that you cannot see basic realities that are factually indisputable.
I say this with a lot of love (honestly I tend to like old geezers more than a lot of these screen-addled cyborg zoomers) but also with a lot of rage: if you cannot own up to your profound wrongness and dedicate the rest of your life to fighting for the possibility of a future, just die already if itâs the only way you can keep from painting these Institutions of Death with a thin layer of naĂŻve legitimacy.
And while Iâm hating, letâs share the hate: young people, people my age, everybody: learn your fucking history.
Nonviolent movements have not worked one single fucking time to achieve a transformative, radical change in society.
The Civil Rights movement? Wasnât nonviolent. People in Birmingham turned their backs on MLK, beat up the pigs, and burned all the white businesses to the ground.
The antiwar movement in Vietnam. Nonviolent? It would take an absolute racist to come to that conclusion. It was the Vietnamese killing tens of thousands of US troops, and then radicalized, discontented troops, refusing orders and killings hundreds of their own officers, that ended that war. Peaceful hippies didnât accomplish shit.
Independence in India? There were riots and armed struggles for decades before the British left.
All the big publishers, movie studios, and public broadcasters put out huge productions about how amazing nonviolence is, about Gandhi, about MLK, and they do it to erase the deeply complex, contradictory, and diverse resistance movements that have actually existed, so that we donât have a history to learn from. Meanwhile, if you write a book laying all this out, only the tiniest of presses will consider publishing it, and you can expect to get stopped at a lot of borders for the rest of your life. And no, itâs not because there are errors in your citations.
Authoritarian political parties? Marxism? Ecosocialism? Are you kidding me? These things are making a comeback? Learn your history! Revolutions lead by political parties only recreated the oppressions they were fighting in a slightly altered form. Marxist revolutions were capitalismâs best friend throughout the 20th century in all the marginalized, less resourced countries where private investors were dropping the ball, focusing on short-term parasitism rather than building up the state institutions capitalism needs in order to function.
