Reposted from .thread - Too often we come home demoralized by the oppression we see every day. We want to do more to fight back against the inertia that allows oppression to exist. Sometimes we are able to do more — often we’re not. In this three part series we want to explore what it means to constantly come up against our capacity. We want to expand on how positioning oppression as something individuals can or should dismantle alone is a trap wielded to maintain the violence we resist. We want to identify how our willingness to make a difference in the world is used to beat us into submission by constantly refunneling our energy into hierarchies that don’t deviate from the status quo but rather reinforce it. And finally, we want to share how we’ve navigated the sadness we’ve felt both inside and outside movement spaces, and share some lessons we are carrying forward.
✨
Stay tuned for Part II and Part III (to be posted tomorrow and next Sunday). We felt it would be too text heavy to post all three parts at once, but if you prefer longform reading we will be making these pieces available on a website and by PDF, so stay tuned for that. Shoutout to for co-writing sections of this series too.

Reposted from dschool - As the bombs drop on Rafah. As the ice caps melt. As the police beat and jail us for protesting genocide. As the horrors mount, we can get caught in a trance, unable to move, unable to think, unable to get out of bed. Incapacitated. It’s the power of shock, the depression that soon follows, the weight of powerlessness, which becomes fear. There’s no more hope here.

I believe that struggle is impossible without hope. Not hope in better days. Hope in each other. Hope in the invisible web that connects us. It’s what reminds us of who we are, strengthens our gut, and gets us ready to face whatever is coming at us. When I see Palest!n!ans facing the horrors they’re facing, I see this connected hope. They are connected to life, even in the face of seemingly total death.

I wanted to make this post and throw some tangible things in here, because we need all of us, and so if you’re feeling totally unable to move, maybe doing one of these things, or several, can help you find that hope again. Love you.

Reposted from .anarchism rchism - Waves of mass activity come and go. It’s incumbent on us to keep a level head, think strategically, and not overextend ourselves.

A military coup in the Global South, and the US wasn't directly involved?! Astounding!

Of course it hasn't stopped Israel from selling weapons to the junta, though... Or China. Or Russia.

The “Government” of Myanmar has made a tourism ad, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative!👉 Help us keep governments honest:🔹 Become a Patron: https:...
