“Activists who disrupt the flow of weapons to a genocidal regime may violate petty criminal statutes, but they uphold a far greater law and a more profound human imperative: to protect a people and culture from annihilation,” she wrote.

When Juries of 12 randomly selected citizens have heard evidence of why people have taken #directaction to advance climate or racial justice, or to stop #genocide in #Gaza, they have repeatedly reached not guilty verdicts.
These verdicts are deeply embarrassing to the government and the arms and oil industries, contradicting the narrative that the public supports the ‘crackdown on protest’.

" #PalestineAction has won permission to challenge its controversial ban by the UK government under #terrorism legislation. In a major decision, the High Court ruled that the proscription of the group should be reviewed."

Louis Rossmann is a hero. More of us should take this kind of direct action. Standing up, resisting, this is the way we make things better. We work together because no one is going to save us from a system that seeks to maximize profit at every possibility.
We save us.

Today in Labor History July 17, 1944: Two ammunition ships exploded at Port Chicago, CA (now known as the Concord Naval Weapons Center). The explosion killed 322 sailors, including 202 African-Americans assigned by the Navy to handle explosives. The explosion could be seen 35 miles away in San Francisco, across the Bay. In response, 258 African-Americans refused to return to the dangerous work, initiating what would be known as the Port Chicago Mutiny. 50 of the men were convicted and sentenced to hard labor. 47 were released in 1946. During their court proceedings, Thurgood Marshall, working then for the NAACP, prepared an appeal campaign, noting that only black men had been assigned to the dangerous munitions loading job. At the time, navy had over 100,000 black sailors, but no black officers. Beginning in 1990, a group of 25 Congressional leaders began a campaign to exonerate the mutineers. However, Congress did not exonerate the men until 2019.
In the 1980s, activists regularly protested at the Concord Naval Weapons Center against U.S. arms shipments to the Contras in Nicaragua. These shipments were supposedly secret, and illegal under the Congressional Boland Amendment. The base shipped 60,000 to 120,000 tons of munitions each year to U.S. forces and allies, including the Contras. On September 1, 1987, a weapons train deliberately ran over veterans who were blockading the tracks, including Brian Willson, who lost both of his legs, and a portion of his frontal lobe, in the collision. Days later, activists dismantled the train tracks. And for years after, activists maintained a 24-hour vigil at the site. The FBI had been surveilling Willson for more than a year as a “domestic terrorist,” even though all of his activism and protests had been entirely nonviolent. The train crew had been told to not stop the train, even if protesters were on the tracks.

I LOVE THIS.
An underground group calling themselves the San Francisco Bay Area Bench Collective is installing unsanctioned benches at bus stops. The city can’t be bothered to install them, so these folks stepped up and did it.
City officials interviewed by NBC moaned and groaned about who’s gonna clean the benches and what about liability and that makes me love this group even more.

🧵 3/3: I erroneously mentioned a decision from the #SupremeCourt earlier regarding #PalestineAction. The case has only reached the Court of Appeal, denying a suspension of the proscription until a wider legal challenge takes place on July 21.
This changes everything: it means that legal recourse is not exhausted and that time to put pressure is NOW.

🧵2/2: #women form the bulk of pensioners & women don't like to see #babies dying of hunger, gun shots or bombs unleashed by #genocide. #Starmer is a cynical imbecile who underestimates the power of women and I trust he will hopefully soon be caught out for #complicity & general hostility towards the people who he owes his mandate to (Go #ZarahSultana!). In the meantime, find creative ways to support a #FreePalestine, #Israel's legal accountability for its #warcrimes in #Gaza & UK #freespeech

This is neat...
Now with a lot of helpful replies. Using metal tubes, like brake or compressor lines, can help make your craft project even neater! 😉
