"In the dark times, should the stars also go out?"
i remember these was this picture drawn of this event, a chinese citizen drew Arwyn Heilrayne depicted as Lady Liberty - was trying to find it; couldn't.
but found out about the woman (or teenager at the time) who was arrested, Arwyn Heilrayne; who was 19 at the time - according to the video, diagnosed with PTSD.
i just remember this photo because it reminds me alot of the occupy wallstreet protest photo, though the woman in the campus photo is under much distress.
i am not alt texting this, copied and pasted multiple tweets today
EDIT according to the message relay from doubledealer this message is incorrect
words in picture
I think the "peaceful protesting is useless, we need DIRECT ACTION" line still ultimately misses the point in the same way the overemphasis on peaceful protesting does.
We don't need to replace one method with another. We need to step back and actually analyze the terrain.
We need to understand the context, the forces at play, the strengths/weaknesses of ourselves and of the enemy, and we need to come up with an overall strategy given those conditions and THEN choose the methods that make the most sense and best support the strategy.
"Direct action" as it currently takes form is largely an individual approach, entirely reliant on random brave individuals basically sacrificing themselves to the state, without any real support infrastructure, without a rear base area, without much hope of evading capture.
the state is waging protracted imperialist, capitalist, anti-Black, Islamophobic, colonial war.
we will not defeat that without recognizing it for what it is and actually strategizing against it, whether the methods are peaceful protesting or individual direct actions.
I think it is a interesting text, explicitly the concept of taking a step back and doing an analysis of the condition we exist in.
it seems that alot of people are stuck doing the same protest and not building genuine ~~community~~ infrastructure which i think is important
Imperialists bank on predictably reckless mishandling of information. Through the press and social media, they sprinkle around tidbits to fuel wild speculation with aims of sowing division and confusion within the country and internationally.
Online personalities (‘analysts’) run with betrayal & blame speculation and successfully move discussion away from condemnation and action against the original U.S. terror. In their assessment, the blame is within Venezuela and among international allies. They shield imperialism.
Fixating over what cannot be verified, rather than what is and that which can be verified, is part of the enemy's information operation. We've lived this playbook repeatedly. U.S. terror is verifiable and requires a response.
a few commentators suggest a comment i left from a previous tweeter failed to consider that i did not recognize the force multiplier difference between the US and Venezuela, this is correct - i should be more careful in the future reproducing tweet carelessly in the future
in a question, a reporter asked Mamdani if he will retract his belief that Trump is a fascist - Trump says (paraphrasing) "it's okay call me a fascist, it's easier than answering"
trump: pink
zohran: orange
reporter: green
They are starving to demand :
Shut Elbit down!
Deproscribe Palestine Action and end the use of terror laws
End all censorship in prison
Immediate bail until trial
Right to a fair trial
read some calla wash post, comment she made suggests they are going til death,
there was an 80's style Aerobics class held outside an ice facility a few days ago.
analysis from a redd*tor
some are saying this is a case example of tactical frivolity,
or trying to be charitable but disagreeing with application; the "clown army"
this phenomenon reminds me of the 'Somebody needs to do it' video from Taylor Lorenz, if i am to be charitable - there is this hard wall that has been hit with all those in disdain with the USisan government.
I am of the opinion that progressing beyond these current actions such as this ICE "demonstration" would required well built structures that could sustain people, or make them feel confident in their networks for whatever government action thrown against them. All while having a party that exists under the current legal framework that represents their interests - I think of the ETA faction in Spain, with their overground and underground networks, similar things would have to exist for progress to be made.
"no mr trump there is no need to swim."

follows her trend of tweets when biden previously send 2 million to israel

this is a few days old but nobody posted it i think
- Israeli authorities have deliberately inflicted conditions of life calculated to bring about the destruction of part of the population in Gaza by intentionally depriving Palestinian civilians there of adequate access to water, most likely resulting in thousands of deaths.
- In doing so, Israeli authorities are responsible for the crime against humanity of extermination and for acts of genocide. The pattern of conduct, coupled with statements suggesting that some Israeli officials wished to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, may amount to the crime of genocide.
- Governments and international organizations should take all measures to prevent genocide in Gaza, including discontinuing military assistance, reviewing bilateral agreements and diplomatic relations, and supporting the International Criminal Court and other accountability efforts.
this is following the previous amnesty international report that determined that israel is committing acts of genocide in gaza
comradeworkwear was banned from all social media sites after creating a deck with playing cards with names and faces of amerikkklan CEOs, the product was named "most wanted CEOs" creatively named in parody of the Most-wanted Iraqi playing cards which were issued to amerikkkan soldiers during the ameriKKKlan invasion of iraq. the face side of the cards depict amerikkklan CEOs.

In 2023, the U.S. Army Science Board expressed concern that the nation’s industrial base “may be incapable of meeting the munitions demand created by a potential future fight against a peer adversary.”
"there are 2 girls, but because of the ravages of capitalism, the yanKKKee has to line one behind the other, so he can kill them both with one bullet to save munitions."
