The village of #LĆ¼tzerath, in Germany has become a crystallization point in the global fight against coal and other #fossilfuels.
š§µ (1/9)
(2/9) It is on the brink of the biggest coal mines in Europe which are owned by the biggest #CO2 emitter in Europe, the fossil fuel megacompany #RWE.
(3/9) The village was occupied by climate activists for 2,5 years to stop RWE from digging the coal under LĆ¼tzerath in solidarity with the fights of indigenous and most affected people in the #GlobalSouth

THREAD: Brutal account of police violence & more from a land defender at #FairyCreek. He has bruised ribs & torn muscles & tendons, & says police left people in nearly closed paddywagons in 37C direct sun for hours. This is on you, @jjhorgan & @mikefarnworthbc. #oldgrowth #bcpoli
@jjhorgan @mikefarnworthbc .."I am absolutely gutted this morning. My arrest and the arrests I witnessed on Tuesday were some of the most brutal I have seen or experienced in over 30 years of civil disobedience. I have been tuned up by the cops before but, never that bad simply for saying no.." #FairyCreek
@jjhorgan @mikefarnworthbc .."My body hurts in places I had forgotten that I had, and I can't stop crying every time I see another kid dragged through the dirt for standing up for something they believe in..." #FairyCreek #oldgrowth #bcpoli #policeviolence
#InternationalWorkersDay honors the immigrant organizers unfairly convicted of conspiracy for participating in a wave of worker protests known as the Great Upheaval throughout the 1800s.
But #MayDay's history reaches back farther, and its demands are yet to be fully met.

Agricultural workers throughout Europe (pagan peasants) have celebrated #MayDay as a day too holy to work since at least the 4th century; which is when #Beltane, as some called it, was first mentioned in Irish literature.

#MayDay was a time workers put away their tools & gathered flowers, danced, feasted, held ceremony, built fires, shared libations, and celebrated community.š»šš„
Because workers weren't grinding away making profits for a boss, many May Day celebrations were criminalized.

1. A year ago,millions of #HKers flocked to streets to oppose #AntiExtradition bill & #PoliceViolence. It was the time when demonstrations, protests, strikes, petitions, forming human chains & singing #GlorytoHongKong were permitted

2. One year later, #Hongkongers and the world bear witness to #Beijing's growing direct control on the cityās vanishing liberty. Ordinary citizens are stabbed by pro-#Beijing mobs, smashed to the ground and arrested by #hkpolice just because they sing in public.
3. This is the time when teachers are fired for refusing to censor students, and even a satirical show was halted for mentioning #policebrutality.

THE NICEST FREAKINā FAMILY just moved in across the street 3 weeks ago. Single mom, four kids, 7 mths pregnant as a surrogate for her best friend, Iāll be calling her Mama cause sheās the cutest preggo lady I have ever seen, 5ā1ā and like 110 lbs.

Our neighborhood is...kinda rough. Poor people, lots of drugs, but more or less everyone leaves everyone else alone and gets along fine. This family moves in, I immediately go over to say hey, and turns out Mama and I get along GREAT. NICE people. Fab kids.
As #BlackLivesMatter protests sweep across the UK we are told that #racism & #PoliceViolence is not as bad here. Well it was only luck that meant the #MetPolice didn't murder 62-y/o #MillardScott in April:
#NoJusticeNoPeace /1
#NoJusticeNoPeace /1
Also in April a #WestMidlandsPolice officer was filmed beating a young black boy to the ground and kicking him - another incident that could have resulted in a death. The #police & the state are institutionally #racist in the UK too. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englanā¦ /2
And the stench of #racism spreads to the right-wing of @UKLabour too where @Keir_Starmer is blocking action against racist staff, MPs & others like @EmilieOldknow & @IainMcNicol exposed in the #LabourReport. And he has the gall to #TakeAKnee. Sickening. /3
The case for Black Lives Matter should be applied globally and the push to defund police should be extended to the US military.

To all the complainers below: yes, COVID19 is not over and is a severe problem. But so is racism. It is sooo important to go in the streets for this now. Ppl had masks, it was super windy! Berlin has 28 new cases a day right now...
...and of course the police ends the peaceful protests in brutality!! #nojusticenopeace #blacklivesmatter #blacklivesmatterberlin #berlin #DefundThePolice #germany
In recognition of the fortitude of those on the front lines; in honor of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, and so many others whose lives have been cut short by police violence...

"We did this protest... [the police] detained my friend who was the only black man with us.... without giving any reason. They throw him on the ground, start handcuffing him. Weāre all, like, 'Weāre these 15 people... Why are you detaining him?'" #POCbeingPoliced #BLUEFALL
(hella long) THREAD on #bailreform & #PoliceViolence
Hereās the deal: last year NY passed bail reform legislation that mandated pretrial freedom for 90% of folks going through the system. It was a huge win for black people, poor people & the movement to end pretrial jailing.
Hereās the deal: last year NY passed bail reform legislation that mandated pretrial freedom for 90% of folks going through the system. It was a huge win for black people, poor people & the movement to end pretrial jailing.
It also SIGNIFICANTLY checked the power of law enforcement to use pretrial jailing as a tool to terrorize black NYers. The reforms meant that tens of thousands of people now couldnāt be jailed and held hostage just based on an arrest.
Pretrial jailing is a direct extension of police power. The #ExoneratedFive, #KaliefBrowder, #LayleenPolanco are all examples of black people who suffered horrible violence and tremendous consequences from being locked up pretrial as a result of racist cops & racist arrests.

June is #PrideMonth around the world, a time when we honour the historic and ongoing struggles of the LGBTQ* community.

But Pride wasnāt always so celebratory. The first pride parade was organized 50 years ago this month to mark the one-year anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City. Those protests were led by queer and trans people, many of them people of colour... (2/5)

Iāve been thinking about power in systems. In medicine. In police forces. Government. Why there havenāt been mass defections. Why do we stay when the system harms? 1/
The System is made of people. We comprise It. Without us, it ceases to be. Strikes me as a kind of delusion that we donāt denounce and leave even when The System blatantly exploits and harms. 2/
The harm, the moral distress, it touches everyone. We see it daily. And I wonder if we donāt abandon these systems because we ourselves on the deepest level seek to gain power from within. Weāve been conditioned to believe that is the goal. 3/

1/ Q: How is #COVIDć¼19 related to the current #protests, #riots, and #Violence in American cities?
A: The disproportionate impact of the #pandemic on communities of color + the long arm of police brutality are causing fear, anger, loss, grief, and uncertainty.

While some in media have condemnedĀ the protests as violent ālootersā imposing ātyrannyā upon the country, much of the violence is being deliberately instigated by an out of control police force.

THREAD: #PoliceViolence in response to #GeorgeFloydprotest reminds me of use-of-force probs during the Northern Ireland Troubles, where indiscriminate use of ānon-lethalā wpns like baton rounds fueled violence. I wrote on this a while back. 1/ academia.edu/43012392/Drohaā¦
Baton rounds originated in the British Empire; wooden rounds were prepared for use in Hong Kong in the 1960s. With the #NorthernIreland Troubles, officials looked for a ānon-lethalā weapon with more deterrent effect (i.e. more dangerous) than tear gas. 2/
But they thought wooden rounds were too dangerous for use against fellow white people, so they developed rubber rounds designed for āprecisionā use against riot leaders/instigators. Problem was, rubber billets werenāt accurate enough for this. 3/
40 million unemployed Americans. Months of isolation after a botched pandemic response. A hated president who actively antagonizes hurt and angry people who just watched another black man murdered by police. America is a powder keg with an arsonist in the White House.
Peace has to be a pathway to progress. If peaceful, non-violent protest continues to lead to nowhere, I fear we will see more violence.
Cities need to show frustrated Americans that police will be held accountable when they murder. People are sick and tired of this shit.
