In the transfixing world of #AnaTijoux, joy and #protest are perennial lovers. For three decades, the #French born #Chilean#rapper has traveled around the world, offering #refuge for those seeking ways to sing of their #outrage and #heartbreak. At the #TinyDesk, she does the same, featuring tracks from across her catalog rich with #cultural commentary and #political critique.
Burning the Indigenous Population up in their Tents is an old Colonial Technique of Genocide
Just read the opening paragraph of this. IDF using an AI program called “Daddy’s Home”, tracking Hamas militants but striking them when they are home with max number of chidren, family and friends.
“The AI program is set up to allow 15 to 20 noncombatant, civilian deaths for every member of the paramilitary Qassam Brigades killed in the attack. “
@pvonhellermannn This anti tent strategy is used in US urban environments by #IDF trained police against unhoused people when they camp in groups. Activists refer to these actions as “sweeps.” Belongings are confiscated by city contractors for landfill. Lately this strategy has appeared on campuses of higher education where encampment is a #protest. No accident that police attacked University of Chicago tent protest while campers were sleeping. Surveillance technologies are now in full force.
Hundreds of protesters took to the streets across the country in the South Caucasus, blocking roads as part of a “nationwide campaign of disobedience” to demand the Prime Minister’s resignation.
"...soll es bei den Feierlichkeiten, die die #polizei als "ausgelassen, aber friedlich" bezeichnete, auch zu #rassistischen#Gesängen gekommen sein. Auf einem #Video , das auf der Plattform X kursiert, ist zu sehen, wie einige Dutzend #Fußballfans "Ausländer raus"-Parolen skandieren. ..."
#Trump doesn't understand the #Constitution, and he doesn't give a shit about upholding it. The government cannot discriminate, or levy punishments against people on the basis of their beliefs, or participation in #protest. The Founders believed this to be such an important principle that they made it the #FirstAmendment to Constitution. #TrumpIsAFascist, and if given the chance he would destroy our republic in favor of a dictatorial #autocracy.
Die Deutschen sind wieder gut geworden? Die AfD im Bundestag, anti-israelische Studierende oder eine rassistische Party auf Sylt stellen das infrage. http://www.taz.de/!6012715/
"...war gestern beim Pfingstbier in Splietau und ist jetzt sehr verstört. Dort wurde das Lied von Gigi D'Agostino gespielt und ALLE, und es war richtig voll, haben diese Nazischeice mitgegrölt...sieht sich nicht in der Lage, das anzuzeigen...was kann ich tun...?"
Teilzitat heut chat
Detained at a US airport & asked about Israel & #Gaza for 2 hours. Why? Ilan Pappé
Border agents asked whether I believe #Israel is committing #genocide & what I think of popular #protest slogans shortly after landing in Detroit
My initial attempt to find out why I was stopped was disregarded. It was clear the agents were asking the questions & my role was to answer them. So until today I did not officially receive any explanation for detention
"Our society does not have an antisemitism crisis. It doesn’t have a crisis of far left radicalism, Islamist extremism, support for terrorism, or fomenting of dissent by foreign powers."
"... as Howard Zinn said, “Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience.”"
"The problem is that the freaks who rule over us are not sufficiently afraid of us. The problem is that we have not yet come to the collective realization that there are a whole lot more of us than there are of them, and that we don’t actually need to put up with them doing crazy and evil things right in front of our faces."
*Please post info if you find out where the Nanaimo & Victoria locations are. So we can go #protest against these #racist#misogynists who mock rape & murdered victims.
"Here in Australia, as in a number of other countries, a misleading campaign has been led by unelected and unrepresentative organisations claiming to represent the Jewish community. Most of these organisations are uncritical defenders of successive Israeli governments with close connections to Israeli intelligence agencies.
The key claim of these unrepresentative organisations has been that the opposition and protests against the Israeli army’s war in Gaza is led by ‘antisemites’, and that many of the students and other participants in the protests are ‘antisemitic’."
"I was ... deeply surprised and deeply disturbed when I heard that Australian vice-chancellors were going to follow in the footsteps of heads of American universities in calling the police to dismantle student encampments at Australian universities.
Michael Schill, President of Northwestern, defends his treatment of student protesters. Finally, someone pushes back against Elise Stefanik and her likes. Gender, race, ethnicity and expertise are not irrelevant factors. It helps that the president is male, white, Jewish and a legal scholar of free speech. #students#protest
@AndyGER 😉 Sommer auf Sylt – Punker kündigen neues #Protest-#Camp an:
In den vergangenen zwei Jahren campierten zahlreiche #Punk'er auf #Sylt. Sie protestierten jeweils wochenlang. Und dies soll sich diesen #Sommer wiederholen.
