1/ Time is running out very quickly to #stoptheexecution of Tangaraju Suppiah.

Yesterday, Tangaraju rushed to file a review application based on a new legal argument pertaining to why he believes his conviction and sentence should be set aside. 2/ It was an argument that he had not advanced before. It was summarily dismissed this afternoon without being heard by the court. This means there are no more avenues to halt his execution from taking place tomorrow at dawn unless President Halimah Yacob stops it.

THREAD: In Singapore, families get only 7 days' notice before a loved one on death row is executed by the state. This is a small glimpse at the horror and hope they are consumed by as the clock ticks down to senseless state murder of their beloved. Chicken rice, nasi biryani, ice cream soda, and milo-flavoured sweets. These are the foods Tangaraju (Appu) has requested from Changi Prison authorities in the week leading up to his execution.

It's difficult to explain why amongst so many acts of racist aggression and staggering hostility that we have all borne witness to lately, this one made me come undone. Is it the desecration of the prayer bell, that is a sound of great comfort, peace and transcendence? Is it because this is the same bell sound that our friends rang with love at my wedding? Is it that our brother in the video continues his ritual seamlessly, so composed and self-possessed, refusing to recoil or shrink away from this shameful bullying?

Today, another work died, struck by a fallen excavator attachment.

Worker lives matter. Poor lives matter. Immigrant lives matter. If we believe this, how will we protect them? The state and its capitalists have blatantly, unapologetically decided that their lives don't, in fact, matter. Their deaths at worksites and on our roads are not a function of oversight, blind spots, improper training, carelessness or insufficient resources.
