Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

“We will look back and say, ‘Why did we not do more earlier?” Amnesty's director tells Zeteo.

Mutual aid, sanctuary spaces, sharing pantries, freedom schools, reading collectives, childcare collectives, shared gardens. Just a few ideas of how we keep us safe. We don’t have to give up. But we need to commune. Peace in the struggle. Joy in the fight.

If colonialism might be broadly understood [...] as a project of expansionist racialised capitalism [...] then anticolonialism emerges as the different kinds of resistance to this project.'

The biggest influence on our writing shouldn’t necessarily be a particular thinker but the reality that surrounds us, a reality that calls on us to write the truth in a sea of silence, a reality from which far too many people choose to look away.
