This should be circulated as widely as possible. People need to understand that it‘s zionist Israelis who’re the bloodthirsty criminals. Not Hamas or any other Palestinian group.
Also-take note of the attempt to fuel antisemitism. This is meant to force the diaspora into Israel.

What you are looking at is a conspicuous display of wealth. The guy in the center is carrying a Remington ACR, which is a $2000 rifle, with an Eotech optic and magnifier, which together are over $1000.
These people want their servants forced back to work.
I believe that this is Ayman Odeh, who is one of ten Arab (Palestinian) members of the Knesset. I'm not totally certain, however. Incredibly brave of him to stand up and do this, even if he is a member of the Knesset. I worry about his safety as much as any other Palestinian.
Now to clarify, I know people that have firearms like this, but they saved for a long time to acquire them, and they are treasured possessions that would never be used in this manner.

Yeah, that one has been pretty well known for a long, long time. When people were dishonestly whining about Russians I was seriously wondering why nobody in the media thought to ask why Reagan wasn't impeached, but at the same time, then we would have had to start the Iran war.

And interestingly, the fact that the killer had filed multiple noise complaints against the victim has never made the news- Tired and mistakenly went to the wrong apt, my ass.

Yeah- and a $1/hr raise for 10,000 employees would massively reduce that profit from 11% down to 10.95% or so.

This is why governments fear anarchists. Anarchists will never wait to be told what actions they should take. Anarchists will do whatever they deem necessary to make the world a better place, including self-sacrifice.

It's deliberate. The cops in France were doing this to the Yellow Vests, and the cops in Chile did it to anti-capitalist protestors there too. Way too many eye injuries/exploded eyes for it to be by chance.
Fam- prices are really coming down on magazine fed shotguns. They are for sale everywhere- cheap- and they look cool. There are both AR and AK configured ones.
DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE PLANNING TO USE IT FOR SELF/COMMUNITY DEFENSE!
Here's why:
Much to admire in Killer Mike’s speech. His conviction, honesty, vulnerability. His rhyme and rhythm (‘it’s time to plot, plan, strategise, mobilise, organise’). But especially the way he dances elegantly on the blurred lines between metaphorical and literal perception.
If you are on the left, lucky enough to be employed & somewhat stable, take the check that the fascists have sent you & go buy a fucking rifle. If you watch for a sale, you will be able to pick up a decent AR for around $500 or an AK for around $600.

I'm with you- I'm about as left as they come and I'm armed to the teeth, as well as a huge advocate for weapon proliferation-esp among the marginalized, but I never carry, and would never open carry except in a community defense situation where I was asked to by the community.

People in the comments think this is cool. This is the kind of shit the authoritarian government will send against you when military members refuse to shoot at other members of their own communities.

Even the manufacturers of these munitions state that they should never be fired at head height. The cops want to do as much damage as possible while also being able to claim they were using non-lethal munitions.
You show up w/shields, body armor, chemical weapons, assault rifles-You wanna talk abt indicators?
You sadistic sociopaths escalate every situation because you get off on destroying those who call out your lawlessness.
Protestors are the ones working to restore rule of law here.
Curious about the shields in the crowds? This tweet thread lays out the planning and coordination for these objects. Shields are an indicator that someone plans to fight not disperse.

It is a totally new credit that will appear on your 2020 refund, that was not there in 2019, that is being paid in advance, so it would not affect your normal return amount so long as your income does not change to the point that it pushes you out of the stimulus bracket.
There is actually a US law that says that it is illegal to export cluster munitions with a dud rate higher than 1%. These munitions have a dud rate from 4% (brand new shell under ideal conditions) to 30%.
As is typical, the US government is breaking its own laws.
@MW_Unrest
I am in PA and milk is being dumped here. Not to support the price, but because of people calling in sick at the processing plant. There are a few farmers giving it away for free rather than dump it.
@Trad_West_Arch
Considering that the left wing architecture actually provides homes for people I'll take it.
By the way, how bout you compare that to public housing architecture in the US. See what kind of comparison you get.
This illustrates why repression and punishment only cause liberation movements to grow and strengthen.

Uh- we can change laws. Also-Cops have absolute discretion over who and who not to charge. They use that discretion all the time. So do DA's.

@MW_Unrest
The farmers giving it away may find themselves in trouble. It is definitely not legal to sell raw milk without a license and rigid testing regime, but nobody is sure what the law says about giving it away- so those giving it away are taking a big personal risk.

Yes, it is always about preserving power and the power differential between elites and the peasants. Gotta show em' who's boss.
The police here in the US, as also in France and Chile, are deliberately targeting eyes with these munitions. This tactic has been well documented in France. If you can, buy and wear shooting glasses or goggles to these protests.
Please retweet.
an update: I am permanently blind in my left eye, and the docs absolutely refuse to let me go back to work for they say six weeks. I’m definitely not allowed to be near smoke or gas.
Usually if I had to stay home I’d spend a lot of time amplifying folk but reading hurts today
@_SemaHernandez_
"Civilian" is not a word we should be using when discussing cops, as far as I am concerned. Using that word legitimizes police militarization & the view of the police where they believe themselves to be separate from us, part of the military, & an occupying force in communities.

This badass, along with a bunch of other amazing protestors, was taken into custody by the pigs. They need $ for legal support- please consider helping out if you have the means.
In 2014, Loreal Tsingine, a 27yo Diné woman was shot/killed by Austin Shipley, a white police officer in Winslow, AZ. Loreal was suspected of shoplifting & defended herself when she was attacked by the pig. Shipley was never charged,& the DOJ declined to investigate.
