U.S. & Israeli empire tremble against Palestinians armed only with sheer determination to be free, & a spoon.

@palyouthmvmt protested powerfully at the Israeli embassy to #FreeThemAll, demonstrating against carceral violence & for steadfast solidarity with Palestinians.
"One day all the prisons that have stood in Palestine will fall, & in their place our people will live lives painted by the colors of freedom & dignity."
6 Palestinian prisoners—Mahmoud Arda, Mohammed Arda, Yacoub Qadri, Ayham Kamamji, Zakaria al-Zubaidi, Monadel Naifat—who freed themselves make us hopeful.

District 8 for Justice organizer & USCPR advocacy & organizing fellow Alex reminded us that prisoner should be free.
"We must fight for freedom for all human beings being incarcerated, all victims of state violence & U.S. empire from DC to Palestine, to Arlington Ice detention centers, & immigration facilities across the U.S." -Alex, District 8 for Justice organizer & USCPR fellow
"The carceral system is not here to keep us safe. It's not here to make our communities safe, to make sure we have enough love & care.

Prisons are used as a means of colonial & state violence to protect the interests of the state and the capitalist class."
Onward as we build toward a world without corporate greed & where Black & Indigenous people are not criminalized for conditions of poverty our world creates.

Every prisoner is a political prisoner, & every prisoner should be free.

Enough is Enough

U.S. Air Force member Aaron Bushnell self-immolated at the Israeli embassy in DC yesterday, sacrificing his life in an act of protest against the 38,000+ Palestinians killed in the U.S.-funded genocide in Gaza.

🧵THREAD Image
Aaron's decision to bear the unimaginable to raise awareness Gaza does not go unnoticed. We mourn and honor his memory. Image
We also honor the woman who self-immolated with a Palestinian flag at the Israeli consulate in Atlanta on Dec. 1, 2023. The media buried her story so deeply that we do not even know her name.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters are blocking 5 major roadways in DC & rallying at Union Station to end the genocide.

They’re stopping US gov't war criminals from getting to work. NO BUSINESS AS USUAL! SHUT IT DOWN!

This is 23rd & Constitution near the State Dept.
Power to local activists through @palyouthmvmt, @OFDC_Campaign, DMV @wearedissenters, @md2palestine, @harrietsdreams, @pslnational who are taking a stand today to demand:

#CeasefireNOW
#FundUNRWA
#StopArmingIsrael
#FreeThemAll
#HandsOffYemen
#EndTheSiegeOnGaza

SHUT IT DOWN!
OUTSIDE UNION STATION: SHUT IT DOWN!

Every US gov't war criminal coming to work today will have their commute disrupted. They are enabling Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, including the murder of 33,000+ Palestinians, which is only possible at this scale with full US backing.

RIGHT NOW: 100+ protestors have TAKEN OVER the Senate atrium for Palestine, singing "Ceasefire Now" and "Stop Weapons Now."

MORE FUNDING to Israel = more bombs & weapons to kill Palestinians

The people CHOOSE LIFE, NOT GENOCIDE!

#StopArmingIsrael #AbolishICE Image
The Senate is debating a $106 billion spending package to send:

-$14.3 BILLION to Israel to kill Palestinians
-$8 BILLION to militarize our borders, jail, surveil & deport immigrants

We demand our gov't invest in LIFE, not VIOLENCE.

#StopArmingIsrael #DemilitarizeTheBorder Image
BREAKING: Arrests made as protesters demand a ceasefire NOW!

When our communities ask for resources that actually contribute to our safety and stability, we’re told the money isn’t there

Yet when it comes to violence, incarceration, and deportation, resources are limitless

Nearly 2 years ago, a U.S. federal judge rightfully dismissed a meritless lawsuit filed by the Jewish National Fund against USCPR.

Now as plaintiffs appeal, our legal representation presented Oral Arguments today asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold this dismissal. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Keep strug
It’s important to recognize this lawsuit for what it is: a lawfare attempt.

Right-wing forces use such baseless lawsuits to harass & scare human rights defenders fighting to protect the most vulnerable. This is Lawfare. Jewish National Fund (JNF) v. US Campaign f
This attack is part of a broader effort, led by the Israeli government and its network of NGO allies, to silence those who document Israel’s human rights abuses & demand accountability. Jewish National Fund (JNF) v. US Campaign for Palestinian Ri

The Palestinian people in Masafer Yatta refuse to be ethnically cleansed from their homeland. #DefendMasaferYatta

Today, Israel began the year by destroying 4 Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta, forcing out native Palestinian families who've existed on this land for generations Protest photo with text reading: "ALL EYES ON MASAFER Y
While the new increasingly fascist right-wing Israeli government is now in place, Israel has been brutally killing Palestinian people and stealing their land for decades.

Now, Israel is planning to accelerate ethnic cleansing in Masafer Yatta & expel 1,000+ Palestinian people.
The lack of international pressure, as the U.S. continually fails to hold Israel accountable, is only further enabling Israel's war crimes.

Remember: Our U.S. tax dollars—$3.8+ billion a year—fund Israel's colonial violence, like today's demolitions.

🧵 ALL EYES ON PALESTINE
The Israeli military & armed Israeli settlers are attacking Palestinian communities across Palestine. News from Palestine isn't getting out amid censorship & Israel’s targeting of journalists. Here’s what you need to know about what’s happening right now:
Shu’afat, a Palestinian refugee camp in Jerusalem, has been under Israeli military siege for 6 days.

Over 100,000 Palestinian people are affected as Israel blocks food & medical supplies from reaching them.
Palestinian people across Jerusalem declared a general strike in protest of Israel’s siege on Shu’afat after its residents announced civil disobedience.

In response, Israeli violence intensified.
