Friends. @CrimethInc has a spectacular series of guides on protest protection. Because, you know, protesting means cops try to kill you. Even though it’s legal and constitutionally-protected.

In case anyone sees my #GoodTrouble sign tomorrow and asks how they can get involved in holding the #SanDiego Sheriff to account over jail deaths, I made a zine to hand out

I'll be at the 10 AM event in Del Mar. If you are local and attending that one, I'd love to meet up!

Israeli Jewish anti-genocide activist Yael Kahn charged for describing Israel as ‘Nazi'

Former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert agreed with her this week but Starmer regime won’t let that interfere with his war on pro-Palestinian speech https://skwawkbox.org/2025/07/16/israeli-jewish-anti-genocide-activist-yael-kahn-charged-for-describing-israel-as-nazi/

1/3🧵: This is how #protest movements reach a #tippingpoint 🥲. #Edinburgh #university, a #uni that was named in the #UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese's report about #Gaza #genocide enablers, saw its PhD #students walk out en masse from their own #graduation ceremony on Friday. Hear those who think they are the majority shout "shut up" until they come to realise the majority is loudly, clearly and beautifully supporting #Palestine and #divestment.

So, the proscribing of Palestine Action has now led to the arrests of 100 people since the proscription just over a week ago... all peaceful demonstrators.

This is the chilling effect on democracy Yvette Cooper (aided and abetted by most MPs) has bought about... Cooper & her fellow travellers have demonstrated a contempt for democratic protest, that is going to be become increasingly clear.

Rep Wasserman Schultz was shaken after touring #AlligatorAlcatraz.

“We’re packing human beings into kennel conditions, then calling it justice.”

After the delay, the MOC assumed the facility would be somewhat sanitized, but it was revolting:

She just visited & came away shivering: "It's 34 people per cage. They drink, brush, & defecate in the same tiny unit. The photos don't come close to the stench.”
