We Said “We Will Block Everything” and We Did: Inside Italy’s Strike for Gaza Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4.

As boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla prepared to set sail toward Gaza, a representative of Genoa’s Dockworkers’ Union declared that if anything happened to the flotilla, workers would “block everything.” When the flotilla was attacked, the reaction was swift: a 24-hour general strike was called.

It’s not surprising that Assata Shakur is not one of the most well-known names in U.S. history – even though she should be.

That is par for the course when it comes to Black heroes, so we must make sure that this Black woman and her relevance to our movement remain visible.

The Global Sumud Flotilla mission is calling on people around the world to pressure their governments to demand safe passage for the fleet as it approaches a designated high-risk zone in the eastern Mediterranean, aiming to break the illegal blockade.

Someone isn't an asshole because they do substances. They are an asshole who does substances.

Being neurodivergent doesn't mean it's okay to use slurs. You use slurs and you're neurodivergent.

Unfriendly reminders that someone's addictions or neurodivergences don't make them an asshole *and* aren't excuses for being an asshole.

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this.

I don’t view it as a Me problem.

Alex, this is devastating.
