AARON BUSHNELL 1999-2024 "I will be no longer complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine." I always get emotional when I think of Aaron Bushnell. He reminds me of so many of my radical brothers and sisters unable to live with the injustices so many accept as normal. PS. I tried out the new alt text feature on Jerboa. Let me know if it has any issues!

Voting is Not Harm Reduction An Indigenous Perspective February 2020 – www.indigenousaction.org Zine format printable PDF download: [Voting is Not Harm Reduction Zine-FINAL-PRINT (9.8MB)](http://www.indigenousaction.org/wp-content/uploads/Voting-is-Not-Harm-Reduction-Zine-FINAL-PRINT.pdf) "When proclamations are made that “voting is harm reduction,” it’s never clear how less harm is actually calculated. Do we compare how many millions of undocumented Indigenous Peoples have been deported? Do we add up what political party conducted more drone strikes? Or who had the highest military budget? Do we factor in pipelines, mines, dams, sacred sites desecration? Do we balance incarceration rates? Do we compare sexual violence statistics? Is it in the massive budgets of politicians who spend hundreds of millions of dollars competing for votes? Though there are some political distinctions between the two prominent parties in the so-called U.S., they all pledge their allegiance to the same flag. Red or blue, they’re both still stripes on a rag waving over stolen lands that comprise a country built by stolen lives. We don’t dismiss the reality that, on the scale of U.S. settler colonial violence, even the slightest degree of harm can mean life or death for those most vulnerable. What we assert here is that the entire notion of “voting as harm reduction” obscures and perpetuates settler-colonial violence, there is nothing “less harmful” about it, and there are more effective ways to intervene in its violences."

The label on the matches says "L'Éclatante - Revolutionary Matches - All Cats Are Beautiful" and one match is lit with a large flame.

Palestine Action says its activists early on Tuesday invaded Elbit Systems’ highly secured Bristol research and manufacturing hub, using a prison van to smash through the outer perimeter. https://freedomnews.org.uk/2024/08/06/palestine-activists-crash-prison-van-into-elbit-research-hub/

transcript [text overlaid on several pictures of benches and outside windowsills. the benches have bars, or gaps to prevent someone from sleeping on them. text reads "Ban anti-homeless arctithecture"] sauce: https://mastodon.social/@AnarchistArt/112901196516297447 Hostile architecture is among the symptoms of the hostile modern city, where neighbours never say hi, and people die on the streets as people walk passivly by.

"Tenth text in the series commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Zapatista uprising. This time, the author gives relevance to the concept of the non-binary “otroa” of Zapatismo because it focuses on the other, the external, the discriminated, in order to establish a political definition from that place."

New mod here (seemingly) Welp, hope this is the light at the end of the tunnel, and for a few more good posts forwards Source: https://masto.ai/@sarahbecan/110222455185516824
This video by Inrangetv talks about the worst mass shooting in American history. The title card shows an AR15 but the subject matter is the Wounded Knee Massacre.
I have decided that new moderator (including a new head moderator) are needed for the future of this community. I will step back into the position of moderator that I had previously held. If enough people demand I will consider stepping down completely. I apologize for any harm that I have caused to this community.
Spicy title, I know, but please read on. I'm not using the phrase "mental disability" like an ableist liberal would. This isn't an insult, it's an examination of psychology and appropriation.
kittenzrulz claims that the takeover of this community was entirely over links getting burned out. [this](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/14636441?scrollToComments=true) post would appear to contradict that. furthermore, they completely disregarded my points in the questions i asked, particularly around the ideological motive around the changes they made [when giving feedback](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/9788444), and failed to respond when i pushed them on the point, despite posting elsewhere. i would argue that both the mod of this community, and the admin of the instance, are hostile to anarchist and leftist politics, and cannot be trusted. recommend finding a new instance.
I have chosen to abandon all the major changes I had planned. This post will be used for feedback and suggestions. Since I'm the only mod I need community feedback.
In all seriousness, Joe Biden has ended his campaign for reelection. He has not stepped down as President 🤞.

The youtube channel Mossy earth is a project not driven by big investors, but small investors - you and me and they're restoring nature all over the world, in small projects. For me it's one of my happy moments looking at their projects and seeing that good things are actually happening in the world! <3

Is it similar to the waves of feminism?
