PLEASE PLEASE DON'T STOP SAYING THEIR NAMES. DONT LET THE CONVERSATION WITHER, WHEN ITS ALL THEY HAVE. IT'S NOT HARD.

THE CONGO REPUBLIC, PALESTINE, SUDAN, SYRIA, UKRAINE, AND ANYWHERE ELSE. THESE ARE PEOPLE. THEY DESERVE TO BE TREATED LIKE IT.

All eyes on Rafah and no one is free until everyone is free. I would've added a whole lot of other flags but then the space wouldn't be enough.

My sister said something to me earlier today that further solidified the idea that generations before mine have been constantly made to feel intimidated or afraid of this government and the horrible people who work for it and push its agendas. “They’re watching your social media if you’re not careful about what you say they won’t allow you to get a job or be successful.” Is one of the main things they’ve taught my sisters generation. I told her that you couldn’t intimidate a generation of people who’ve never had this countries protection, care, or protection. I couldn’t give a fuck less if I’m being completely honest with you right now. There’s absolutely nothing this country or the people in it could threaten me with in order to make me shut the fuck up about what they’re doing and the shitty choices they’ve made as a collective. You’ve told generations of Americans that if they don’t shut up and submit to what you’re doing and pushing that their family members would need to move into a state of fear and be afraid for them and that they should be afraid for their livelihoods, their success and their ability to create and build foundations for themselves and it’s about time people get to hear that loud and clear. The fear mongering and the oppression and the silencing of people in this world has got to stop and you only stop cycles of behavior by no longer participating them and changing the way that you behave and react.

They’re trying to make your children uneducated and ignorant by stopping the creation of educational television programs and creating shows and media meant for them that start fucking with their minds from an early age, our teachers are severely underpaid, the curriculum in schools is lacking, they pass laws to take race theory out of the curriculum and stop teaching about the history and oppression of people of color. They ban and attempt to sell apps to American companies so that they can better censor the content that over 1 billion people are consuming every single day that has allowed the truth to spread faster than lies for the first time since this country was founded.

You fucked up letting our generations students with progressive and out of the box ideas into Ivy Leagues to climb your elitist ladder and subjecting generations of individuals to generational trauma and oppression. People have been waiting over forty years for this generation to come into existence. We’re here now. It’s too late.

Thd Kurdish women fighting ISIS

All-female battalions of Kurdish soldiers have been instrumental in fighting ISIS

"In Syria, the women of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) have been recognized for their all-female fighting force. This force, known as the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) have been heralded for their bravery on the battlefield. Al Jazeera reported that Kurdish soldiers from the YPJ had singlehandedly killed over 100 Islamic State fighters.[1] In the defense of Kobani, it was reported that up to 40% of the resistance fighting force against ISIS was made up of Kurdish women."

By the way, 98% of Kurds are Sunni Muslims.

I wish people would stop talking about "World War III" as if it's guaranteed to happen. Like it's just the natural upcoming progression of the human race. You should not want it to happen. The US and the Israel colony project keep kicking at other countries in a blatant attempt to start a wider regional war, and we cannot keep acting like this is something either of them should just be doing

We as a population need to keep asking for this to stop, for Western nations to stop bringing violence to other countries for reasons that don't make any sense to the public. "But they could attack us any minute?" But didn't we attack them first? The only way this is going to get better before it gets worse is if we are all vocal about criticizing Western leaders for enabling the colony. Everybody should care about the Middle East right now: World War III has been treated as an inevitability, even a meme, for far too long, and it's going to be used as a justification of escalating regional violence. The only way that'll stop is if we, all together, point out the US's meddling and destruction in other countries and go, "Hey man, this fucking sucks; stop that"

No matter what we have to trust that the people suffering will get help. We can help them. It's a strenuous and difficult thing when people are suffering. But we must believe that health and welfare increases, because we know we can do something about it

The French cement giant started operating in Syria just before the civil war erupted. When Islamic State took over the region, Lafarge paid them protection money so it could keep trading. The consequences are still playing out Again and again, Bruno Pescheux made one point to his colleagues: no one must know what their company was up to. Secrecy was paramount. In 2013 and 2014, Pescheux ran the Syrian subsidiary of Lafarge SA, the French company that was then the world’s biggest cement conglomerate. As a civil war caught and spread, the company struck a grim deal: to pay millions of dollars to Islamic State (IS), the world’s most notorious terrorist group, treating it as a strategic ally. These payments bought IS’s blessing so that Lafarge’s factory in Syria could keep making and selling cement – even as its European executives left the country, its local employees got kidnapped, and bombs and gunfire tore up the region. Lafarge bought raw materials from IS-approved vendors, supplied IS with cement, and paid them to squeeze the competition – in this case, cement imports coming over the border from Turkey. In mob jargon, this was more than protection money; in MBA jargon, the company optimised for IS. The managers in Lafarge’s Syrian subsidiary knew all too well what they were doing, and they tried hard to hide it. Once, while referring to vehicle passes that IS issued Lafarge’s trucks, Pescheux emailed a go-between to say that “the name of Lafarge should never appear for obvious reasons in any document of this nature. Please use the words Cement Plant if you need but never the one of Lafarge.” At the time, the factory, in the town of Jalabiya, was one of more than 1,600 that Lafarge ran in 61 countries. But this was no distant outpost going rogue, unnoticed by headquarters. Executives in Lafarge’s offices in Paris were complicit in the relationship with IS, as dozens of internal emails and documents show. On such evidence of wilful collaboration with IS, the US Justice Department filed criminal charges against Lafarge. (The company merged with the Swiss cement giant Holcim in the summer of 2015, not long after IS finally annexed the Jalabiya factory for itself.) Lafarge pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to terrorist groups – the first successful criminal prosecution of any company on this charge in the US. In the autumn of 2022, the Justice Department fined Lafarge $778m. One prosecutor described Lafarge’s acts as a “staggering crime”. The penalty threw open the doors to still more legal trouble. A group of more than 800 Yazidis, represented by Amal Clooney and other lawyers in the US, is suing Lafarge for its aid to IS, which murdered, kidnapped and raped thousands of members of this religious minority group in northern Iraq. Others who have suffered IS’s violence have filed separate lawsuits, including US journalists, aid workers, military service members and their families. “None of the $778m fine imposed by the Justice Department went to any of the victims,” a lawyer in one of these suits told me. “And this is a deep-pocketed defendant – not a random front company for al-Qaida.” These are civil cases, though, so even if Lafarge loses them, the consequences will be all too familiar. A corporation pays an affordable sum in damages. The court issues a stern scolding. Onward to business as usual.
