“Prisoners are valuable. They not only work for pennies for the corporate brands our people love so much, but they also provide jobs for mostly poor white people, replacing the jobs lost in rural communities. Poor white people who are chosen to be guards. They run the motels in prison towns where families have to stay when they make 11-hour drives into rural corners of the state. They deliver the microwave food we have to buy from the prison vending machines.

“And companies pay for the benefit of having prisoners, legally designated by the Constitution as slaves, forced to do their bidding. Forget American factory workers. Prisoners are cheaper than even offshoring jobs to eight-year-old children in distant lands. License plates are being made in prisons along with 50 percent of all American flags, but the real money in this period of prison expansion in the 80s, 90s and early 2000s is made by Victoria’s Secret, Whole Foods, AT&T and Starbucks. And these are just a few. Stock in private prisons and companies attached to prisons represents the largest growth industry in the American market as the millennium lurches toward its barbed-wire close.”

It's important to recognise that what's happening in Palestine, what we are witnessing and what people are experiencing, are not isolated to Palestine.

You may hear people talk about the war in Sudan, the silent holocaust in Congo.

It's because these and so many more atrocities in the world are linked. They are preperuated by the same systems.

[Video Transcript:

So as a Palestinian when I say Free Palestine, I am not just talking about Palestine. I started nursing school in 2015 at Saint Louis, just a few miles away from where Michael Brown was killed by police.

Being in that city at that time, watching Black Lives Matter being born, stirred up a lot of feelings for me as a Palestinian.

I saw a country justifying a child being murdered by the state, in the street. I saw the people protesting that murder being vilified.

Standing there, protesting, watching a militarised police force with tear gas and rubber bullets matching towards me.

And I thought, this is that.

As a Palestinian to understand what is going on in Palestine is to understand the de facto aphartied that black Americans experience here in the states.

It's not an accident that when my grandfather came here, he was told to sit and the back of the bus. And it's not an accident that he marched with MLK.

It has been black and Palestinian solidarity, and it continues to be black and Palestinian solidarity.

Because yes, Free Palestine is about Palestine ceasefire now and the military occupation of the Palestinian people. It's also about resisting the global colonial hegemonic structure.

Because the shit happening there is happening here. If it isn't Palestinian women and babies being killed by bombs in Gaza, it's black women and babies being killed in American hospitals.

If its not Palestinian girls missing in the rubble. It is missing and murdered indigenous women here in the United States.

The rage I feel when I hear the names Michael Brown and Treyvon Martin is the same rage I feel when I hear the names Shireen Abu Akleh and Ahmad Manasra.

That's not to say that allyship is transactional, it is to say that the only thing we have is each other.

There's a reason that when people ask me about Free Palestine, I will point them to books on Black Lives matter.

When I say Free Palestine, yes I mean Free Palestine but I also mean Black Lives Matter, I also mean abolition now. I also mean reparations, I also mean land back.

This movement cannot lose steam, not just because there is currently a genocide being perpetuated against my people. And every minute we don't do something Palestinian lives are being lost.

But because this is a global struggle for justice. It does not start and end with Palestine, we will not be free until all of us are free.

The world is waking up, there has never been global solidarity for Palestine like this.

And we have them so scared. The violence is so disproportional because we are challenging a global power structure. Don't let the momentum die because this is about all of us.

Ceasefire now.

End the occupation.

But know what I mean when I say, Free Palestine.

The AP Interview: BLM’s Patrisse Cullors Denies Wrongdoing | California News

By AARON MORRISON, Associated Press LOS ANGELES (AP) — No, insists Patrisse Cullors, former leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation: Despite allegations of financial improprieties, neither she nor anyone else in leadership misused millions of dollars in donations. But in an interview with The Associated Press, Cullors acknowledged that BLM was ill-prepared to handle a tidal…

There is no reforming this.

A cousin of Black Lives Matter co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, was killed by Los Angeles police after he got in a traffic accident and officers who showed up repeatedly Tased and restrained him in the middle of the street, according to body-camera footage and his family’s account.

Footage from the 3 January encounter released on Wednesday showed that Keenan Anderson, a 31-year-old high school teacher and father, was begging for help as multiple officers held him down, and at one point said, “They’re trying to George Floyd me.” One officer had his elbow on Anderson’s neck while he was lying down before another Tased him for roughly 30 seconds straight before pausing and Tasing him again for five more seconds.

A reminder that police budgets have only increased since 2020. 2022 saw the most killings by cops in America than any year on record. 'Defund the police' is not a political platform, and no major party supports it, which is why there's no federal efforts to reduce police funding and allocate funds to community resources (even though it is proven that heavy police presence does not deter crime and high crime rates are directly linked to poverty and a lack of community resources).

The facts of this particular killing may very well be that Keenan Anderson caused an accident while under the influence, flagged cops down for help, was caught off guard when he was suddenly being treated as a suspect, and got anxious (naturally or as an effect of drugs) due to well cops being cops at him, and started to resist arrest as most Black people do at this point out of fear and the cops tased him to get him to comply.

But here's the thing, people don't need to comply. Cops just need to get control of a situation long enough to detain someone. When you get to the point you're putting a knee to someone's neck, you're past the point you were able to cuff them and get them into a vehicle.

It can never be justified. It will never be justified to kill an unarmed person. It's barely justified when they're armed when a trained cop should be able to shoot someone in a non-lethal area (it's literally easier) to disarm them.

There's no way you can make a case for several officers not being able to cuff one average man with no weapon.

Bedlam

A screen shot from the trailer.

The trailer: https://bedlamfilm.com/

"Why a county jail should be serving as a mental health institution is a question worth investigating--and it gets that worthy exploration in the documentary Bedlam, premiering tonight on the PBS nonfiction series Independent Lens. Psychiatrist and filmmaker Dr. Kenneth Rosenberg directed the film which examines the sad state of treatment of serious mental illness and how we got to this unfortunate state of affairs."

The movie on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Bedlam-Patrisse-Cullors/dp/B08FSNP2SW
