“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age
“If there is to be any proving of our humanity it must be through revolutionary means.”

We cannot succumb to the dominant narrative about criminals because the state can label anyone as a "criminal" anytime it wants. This is especially so for authoritarian regimes, which the US now clearly is
Please stop saying: "but they're not criminals." It doesn't help but increases the harm
It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty
Nog een keer maar.
RIP D'angelo. Black Messiah is a top 5 of all time record.

Looks very interesting! Is your talk available online?
Deze onderzoeker wil dat we de Andrew Tate-beweging zien als terrorisme: ‘Hij is heel gewelddadig en echt gevaarlijk’
After a spree of destruction (right to asylum, education, culture, complicity in genocide...) and incompetence, the far right government in the Netherlands has fallen.
A moment of relief. Before more hard work of turning the political tide away from this death cult, towards solidarity and life.
De parodie voorbij.
Qowed dan.

Een van deze verzetshelden is de Arubaan Boy Ecury. Boy Ecury (1922, Aruba) kwam in 1937 naar Nederland en vestigde zich in 1942 in Tilburg. Door verraad werd hij gearresteerd en op 6 november 1944 gefusilleerd op de Waalsdorpervlakte. www.doorbraak.eu/13-mei-tilbu...
Ondraaglijk.
“Nooit meer” heeft alle betekenis verloren in de mond van zij die zich niet met hand & tand verzet hebben tegen de lijn van Den Haag (ttz twee kabinetten, niet ICJ of ICC) mbt Gaza en Israel. Die zich laf schuilen achter “stille diplomatie”, “neutraliteit” en wat nog.
Never forget.

I know everything is on fire but please do not forget that people are starving, not because there is no food, but because that food is blockaded. Food. Is. A. Basic. Human. Right.
