🇵🇸 We’ve been taking action to shut down arms factories in Britain supplying Israel — but who exactly are we & how can you get involved? (THREAD)

NPR reported that Israel says these people were arrested, stripped of their clothes & forced to kneel for long periods in the cold winter, simply because they refused or were unable to abandon their homes & flee to south #Gaza, thats their crime: refusing to be forcibly displaced

Land back also means the fertility of the land, a total divestment from everything as it is. Land in her aliveness is incompatible with capitalism. It means practicing a different relational politics to all life, time, space, predictability etc to cultivate & sustain wholeness

In 2024, please read and re-read Frantz Fanon. And always remember that "Colonialism only loosens its hold when the knife is at its throat".

This is why the IDF is killing any journalist that flies a drone over Gaza, they don’t want the world to witness the sheer scale of the genocide…🇵🇸💔

There are going to be times when we just don’t have any answers to messy relationship endings. We have so many contracts to meet people and sometimes they choose not to grow and rise to the occasion. Release the contract. Put it in the fire and let it transmute.

I often think of Francis Weller's 'Wild Edge of Sorrow', when he says 'what if the hollowness we feel, is the prolonged absence of bird song?' What this means as diasporic & dispossessed ppls to lose our native music of place, it to be replaced with things like sirens and sighs.

Movies about the future are more likely 2b about an apocalypse than a new society where ppl dont worry about rent/bills, & have the access 2food, health care & education they need Why? Cuz most movies present capitalism as already being that way. Hard 2 show the difference

Health is structural more than it is individual bc our structures deeply inform our choices, realities, livelihoods & longings both individually & communally. Towards life-affirming infrastructures as public/collective health-against oppression which is anti-life & living worlds

if the artists you are lifting up right now refuse to acknowledge or speak up on the genocides taking place why do you continue to support them? I dont understand. why are we praising whose on top of country music charts of a country that is currently committing genocide?

Man. To paraphrase Jasbir Puar’s Terrorist Assemblages, any identity can be conscripted into the nationalist project, and the danger of inclusion into national imaginaries is becoming a narrative of American exceptionalism, which enacts and requires the violence of empire.

"Ecology does not end at the border of our property, the national border of a country, or the border of the body's skin. Ecology is multidimensional and universal. We each affect the entire global ecology and the world in turn, affects us. There is no separation." Tasfir of Yasin

I was born a Black woman and now I am become a Palestinian against the relentless laughter of evil there is less and less living room and where are my loved ones? It is time to make our way home. —June Jordan, ‘Moving Towards Home’

I was born a Black woman

i have lost any and all respect for your silence at this point. if you can remain a silent spectator while this kind of evil is amidst. i don’t care if you don’t use social media, don’t care for platforms, rarely speak out in public… If you have been made aware of this horror…

James Baldwin: "You always told me it takes time. It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time. my uncle’s time, my brother’s and my sister’s time. My niece’s and my nephew’s time. How much time do you want, for your progress?"
