On the 17th of January, 1961, the US, UK and Belgium assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's mineral reserves. Remember Lumumba!

When Trump uses ancient law against people in Minnesota, we remember a great woman's quote: “What presents itself to us as bourgeois legality is nothing but the violence of the ruling class, a violence raised to an obligatory norm from the outset.”

To call it any semblance of a ceasefire is embarrassing
At least 100 children have been killed by Israeli airstrikes and ground forces in Gaza since the start of a tenuous ceasefire three months ago, the United Nations said

One year ago, Israeli forces detained Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya after violently shutting down Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza. He remains imprisoned today.
A few weeks before his detention, he told +972, “I will stay inside my hospital until the last moment.”
