Boston BDS shutting down the Capital One café in the Seaport right now. The demand: divest from Elbit Systems, who manufacture drones and weapons used by Israel to commit genocide.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk says she's had 4 painful asthma attacks in ICE custody, and not only is her asthma going untreated but a nurse tore off her hijab, saying, "You need to take that thing off your head." www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...
38. Once they finally took me to the medical center, the nurse took my temperature. She said "you need to take that thing off your head" and took off my hejab without asking my permission. I told her you can't take off my hejab and she said this is for your health. After a few minutes I put my hejab back on. But they did nothing to treat my asthma and gave me a few ibuprofen.
39. I had a third asthma attack at the Louisiana facility. Again, this happened in the cell and other woman knocked on the window to get the attention of the officers. I was told that the nurse would come to the cell to see me. She took me outside for a short bit and told me that it was all in my mind. She finally took me to the medical center but I was not treated for my difficulty breathing. The nurse left the room and didn't answer my questions
40.I had a fourth asthma attack on Wednesday March gth around noon. I used my inhaler and waited for it to pass. I was in pain and very scared but I didn't ask to go to the medical center because I don't feel that they address my medical needs.
41. I don't feel safe at the medical center because of my prior experiences there.
They complain when I go there and speak to me in an insulting and condescending manner. They also write information in my medical records that is not accurate. The doctor and nurses there are rude and uncaring.

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone. “It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.

I refuse to surrender to misery. What we fight for must be better. You know the phrase "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution."? It's attributed to anarchist Emma Goldman, but is a paraphrase of a longer paragraph from Goldman’s autobiography Living My Life:
Text: “At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement,” Emma Goldman writes.

It is long past time to set aside our fear and access our outrage. Please know that we can build something better than this.
When we talk about abolition, when we talk about systemic oppression, when we talk about revolution vs. harm reduction: this is what we’re talking about.

We’re talking about systems that were never going to save us because they are too wed to oppression. We are talking about representatives that have never had any intention of representing us.

We’re talking about the foundations of fascism that have been long built and have only been strengthened in recent years by our desire for comfort over liberation.

It is long past time to set aside our fear and access our outrage.
