"I'm not, nor was I ever, scared...The harshness of the State's eye on our movement is nothing more than a defensive reaction, a mask from their fear...I will never stop fighting & I will do my best wherever I find myself to be." #FREEJAKHI #FREETHEMALL

A letter from Jakhi McCray to the Movement prior to voluntarily turning in to the feds ❤️
A Letter From Jakhi McCray to the Movement Prior to Voluntarily Turning In to the Feds. 21 July
"It has been one month since the NYPD. and the U.S. government came after me, accusing me of setting fire to police vehicles belonging to the 83rd precinct in Brooklyn. According to them, $800,000 worth of damage was done and the charred remains of the vehicles represented a direct attack on the police. Today, July 21st, I walked into the 83rd precinct and turned myself in.
There's a real chance that I won't see the outside of a cell for years, but I make this choice clear of mind and, in a naive way, hopeful. It's a hope that comes from feeling loved and supported by my friends, my family, and my comrades that have rallied in support of me in wake of the accusations. It's a feeling that I cherish and will hold on to in the, now, uncertain timeline of my life. I'm 21 years old and I know it's normal to be unsure about life and the world, but I want to thank you whether I know you or you're just meeting me for the first time now-for giving me some comfort in all this.

Wow, I can’t believe China accidentally floated a balloon over the US. Here is a totally unrelated map

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This map is misleading, showing US bases that have either closed (such as those in Thailand) or have never even existed (such as Hong Kong, Indonesia, etc) airandspaceforces.com/app/uploads/20… installations.militaryonesource.mil/view-all

In Cuba, a parent’s decision to disown an LGBTQ+ child is considered domestic violence and punished accordingly

I love how my basic human rights like bodily autonomy are decided by 9 judges w/ life terms who aren’t even elected but appointed by Presidents who don’t have to win the popular vote & confirmed by Senators who disproportionately represent white rural states w/ tiny populations.

🚨 BREAKING: Every single country in the world, except the US and Israel, voted to condemn the US blockade on Cuba. Ukraine abstained.

Paris is currently in uproar 🔥🇫🇷 Amid masses of ongoing industrial action, French President Emmanuel Macron effectively pushed through a highly unpopular bill raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 years of age, in a subversion of democracy. (1/2)

If you are letting in politicians to your encampment who condemn the Palestinian resistance and endorse Genocide Joe, you have fully lost the plot. Encampments should be sites of resistance, not Democratic Party photo-ops. BEWARE OF CO-OPTATION.

forcing students into the mental exercise of justifying/rationalizing genocide because of its supposed “positive effects” itself perpetuates genocide and indoctrinates them into supporting an imperial war machine. my sister is

It’s great the NYT is covering the most important stories about the Maui fires, like the story of this settler tragically lost her Rolex watch! Really important we center stories of ppl like her who work for luxury resorts responsible for the environmental destruction of Hawaii!

On Friday, Elicia Stratton searched desperately through the wreckage of her Lahaina home for the Rolex watch her parents gave her when she graduated college. Suddenly, her fiancé pulled it from the ashes. “You found it!” she said, choking up. It was damaged but still legible.

Palestinian journalist Mumem Qraiqea, who lost both his legs during Israel's 2008 war on Gaza, hugs & tries to calm down a baby, who was pulled alive out of the rubble of his house bombed by Israeli warplanes. Both are victims of the repeated & bloody Israeli aggressions on Gaza.

Cuba has higher life expectancy & healthier people than the US, where 34 million people go hungry. No one starves in Cuba despite 60+ years of economic sanctions. There are shortages & hardship but the government prioritizes feeding the people rather than the military budget.
