Yesterday, I was in a conversation arguing that the #ProPalestine protests and #StopCopCity and #ClimateChange protests in Europe are all fronts in the same broader fight and are a sign of a rising tide of anger against the global elite.
But I left out an important protest movement that may be most directly targetting the powerful who are destroying our invaluable planet. How could I have forgotten #TeamOrca?!?
“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.” | Karis Nemik (5 BBY)
WEEK 31: Students at Cal Poly Humboldt have organised a tree-sit in honour of Tortuguita. This is a separate action. Other students are still barricaded inside a university building to protest the college's complicity in genocide, where they've been for a week.
WEEK 30: The Marriott Hotel in NYC is holding a recruitment event for the Atlanta PD today. Activists from the encampments and Stop Cop City had some thoughts about it 😂
The person being arrested was "trespassing" in the plaza. Apparently. #FreePalestine#StopCopCity
