Did you notice the corporate media blackout of the March 2 rallies for Palestine?
Hundreds of thousands of people across the United States took to the streets for Palestine as part of the Global Day of Action on March 2. The corporate media failed to cover it.

On March 2, hundreds of thousands of people around the U.S. joined millions of people around the globe for an international day of action to demand a ceasefire, no invasion of Rafah, and a free Palestine.
It is an outrage that mainstream media outlets almost completely failed to cover the massive pro-Palestinian demonstrations taking place in dozens of cities across the country.
In New York City, an estimated 50,000 people marched with energy and determination in the rain to demand an end to Israel and Biden’s genocide on March 2.
In San Francisco, 15,000 people took to the streets as part of the global day of action to say, hands off Rafah!
In Boston, thousands rallied and marched in the freezing rain outside of Cambridge City Hall on March 2 to say end the siege on Gaza now!
Thousands of people in Los Angeles rallied and marched outside of City Hall in a massive display of solidarity with Rafah on March 2.
Thousands in Washington DC surrounded the Israeli Embassy on March 2, just one week after the self-immolation at that location of US Airman Aaron Bushnell
The U.S. corporate media is trying to cover up Israel and Joe Biden’s genocide of Palestinians.
Between the continuous lies, the misleading headlines and the misrepresentation of peoples’ movements, mainstream media outlets serve as an arm of the war machine.
The media can attempt to silence our movement, but Biden cannot escape his plummeting popularity and the hundreds of thousands of people continually taking to the streets against his complicity in genocide.
We will continue to disrupt business as usual until Palestine is free!🇵🇸

The corporate media is celebrating the gains made by the "rebels" in Syria in their campaign to overthrow the government. But don't be fooled – these are no freedom fighters. 🧵
The Syrian "rebels" are led by Al-Qaeda.
The Syrian "rebels" have committed terrible crimes against the people of Syria.
Trying to take advantage of the situation in Lebanon, U.S.-backed “rebel” fighters have launched a new offensive to try to overthrow the government of Syria.
Here's why a victory for the “rebels” in Syria would be a defeat for Palestine ⤵️
1. The overthrow of a government at the top of Israel's hit list.
2. Losing a safe haven for Palestinian organizations.
On Juneteenth, we honor the heroic history of the fight for Black liberation & commit ourselves to continuing this struggle today!
⬇️Read more about the real history of the Civil War, the origins of Juneteenth & the enslaved Black people who rose up to demand, fight for & win their freedom.
Both Israeli and U.S. officials want you to believe that the Palestinian resistance is refusing to negotiate a ceasefire, allowing the war on Gaza to continue in perpetuity.
In reality, Israel has rejected or ignored at least a dozen deals agreed to by the Palestinian resistance since October 7. Enough is enough!
The US, a nuclear-armed military power which provided billions to Saudi Arabia's war on Yemen & billions in ongoing support to Israel?
Or Ansar Allah, who holds much power in Yemen & are the ones stopping Israeli-linked ships in solidarity w/ Palestine?
The U.S. government has been clear in their stated intent regarding the anti-Yemen bombing campaign.
President Joe Biden said, “I will not hesitate to direct further measures to protect our people and the free flow of international commerce as necessary.”
It’s not surprising that the US — a capitalist country —would be upset about interference w/ commerce & trade.
But isn’t there something else they could do besides bomb Yemen to solve this problem?
Yemen has been clear they'll continue targeting Israeli ships as long as the US-Israeli genocide of Palestinians continues.
🧵In “celebration” of Joe Biden’s 81st birthday today, here are 5 of the greatest crimes he’s committed over the course of his political career.
1️⃣Biden's participating in the genocide of Palestinians.
Israel couldn’t exist without the backing & financial support of the US.
At least 68% of people in the U.S. favor a ceasefire, yet Biden continues to press Congress for $14+ billion to send to Israel’s war on Palestine.
2️⃣The rise in mass incarceration is directly tied to the notoriously racist 1994 Crime Bill, backed by Biden. The bill resulted in harsher sentences, more prisons & more violent policing.
Today the US incarcerates more people – disproportionately Black – than any other nation.
