The IOF are attacking Rafah. 1.7 million people are currently in the zone labeled a "safe zone," and Israel is now bombing that zone from the sky, planning a ground invasion. So far, there are 60+ dead. Fourteen houses and three mosques were bombed. And after all we've seen, our leaders do nothing. Power to resistance. We must keep doing what we can. Write, post, organize, act. Free Palestine.
The ground invasion of Rafah has already begun. Keep posting, keep organizing, keep acting. If you haven't posted, organized, or acted yet, start. Act to end all empires. Act to end all occupation. Act to free Palestine. Fight like hell for the living, mourn those we've failed.
Willamette Valley folks! This weekend, Corvallis, Oregon will be home to a real killer event! A hoard of wonderful folks and groups like No Bonzo, Detritus Books, PM Press, Crimethinc, Mid-Valley IWW, and many more will be tabling for the Heart Of The Valley Anti-Capitalist Bookfair. Plenty of informative events, workshops, and book talks. If you're in the Mid-Valley region, stop on by!
There will also be a memorial on Thursday the 18th at 6:00 PM (18:00) for fallen forest defender and wobbly Tortugita at Westminster House off Monroe. Come by and help celebrate a beautiful soul!
Hey IWW Central! I'll go back to paying "dues" when you go back to "do"ing stuff! Heyooo boom roasted
(Small text: For the purposes of this agreement "stuff" does not include threatening to ban people for sharing articles critical of IWW insiders.)
Like some of the "articles" in question... are pretty fucking stupid. [And also] you probably shouldn't threaten to ban people so quickly, simply for sharing them. Makes one wonder which parts of these stupid articles would inspire such a response.
@sidereal My branch and a few others have resolved to work autonomously of GHQ unless we have to involve them. It's just not worth the trouble to gentle-parent our continental headquarters.
I don't have much experience with the weird content policing within the IWW (I'm too lazy to use InterWob) but it sounds just so 💀.
@sidereal Very much to all of that, yeah. I'm hopeful about the IWW, but it is sorely in need of some humility and seriousness. Getting back to actually organizing with a working-class vocabulary would be a good start.
Talk or condemnation of Oct. 7th without the context of the last seven decades of Medinat Yisrael's violence is shallow, uncaring, unserious, and imperialist.
No form of Palestinian resistance, or any colonized folk, has been seen as acceptable. "Not this way" is not the rebuttal of peace you think it is.
Being a terrorist means nothing when the countries calling you terrorists are on stolen land, stolen by terrorism.
Antisemitism and Islamophobia have been on the rise for decades as well, and those must be fought tooth and nail alongside the fight against apartheid, imperialism, occupation, and fascism.
