Aaron Bushnell’s self immolation has honestly really got to me - what kind of fucked up world do we live in where people feel like the only way to get the attention of the government is to set themself on fire? It’s literally insane that there are MULTIPLE ongoing genocides in the world and that somehow this isn’t a national fucking emergency. What’s happening right now truly is cause to reevaluate everything about the world we live in, and yet world leaders deem it not a big enough issue to care

we can’t have let aaron bushnell die in vain. nothing is going to happen unless we all do something- keep boycotting, keep protesting for those who can’t. bombard your leaders with letters and emails and phone calls. honestly at this point it’s become clear to me that history is going to continue to repeat itself unless we stand together and fight the system that allows for this to happen. we need to build something better, where innocent people aren’t massacred and where there are no holocausts, no genocides, no ethnic cleansings and no more unheard “never again”s.
from the river to the sea, and with every replanted olive tree, palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

I just feel like self-immolation is supposed to have a more visceral reaction than this, especially from our fucking leaders…how many more people need to do this drastic act of protest for things to change like I’m genuinely asking, this is completely absurd! Im so SICK OF THIS SHIT

Images from the tribute to Aaron Bushnell outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC. It was destroyed by staff at the Embassy a few hours later.

Seeing people try to label Aaron as mentally unstable, just makes me rage! It's like they can't handle the sheer force of his actions, so they resort to calling him insane. But you know what? That's just a cop-out so they don’t have to deal with the questions and indignations that come from his act!
I dove into Aaron's social media after everything went down, and let me tell you, he was an amazing human being someone, I would’ve loved to know personally. He cared deeply about those who were ignored or pushed aside by society. And anyone trying to water down his message or paint him as some kind of mentally ill person has clearly forgotten what it means to be human.
Rest in power, Aaron. Your legacy is one of courage and selflessness. And to those who want to chalk up his actions to mental illness, let me drop some truth bombs on you: Serving in the military is about sacrificing everything for a cause you believe in. Aaron, being in the Air Force, knew exactly what he was doing. So let's not play the double standard card here, okay? Makes you look dumb as fuck - not that you aren’t but still…
AARON BUSHNELL, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR YOUR SACRIFICE. FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸

I dare you to watch Click the Twitter link to see. Notice the robotlike, preprogrammed reaction to a dying man from the Secret Service agent.

"rest in power is only for black people" "he was mentally ill" "we shouldn't be glorifying suicide" DO YOU ALL HEAR YOURSELVES? AARON BUSHNELL GAVE HIS LIFE FOR PALESTINE. AARON BUSHNELL REFUSED TO LIVE ANOTHER SECOND SERVING THE SAME MILITARY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HORROR AND PAIN PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN FACING AND DEDICATED HIS FINAL MOMENTS TO CALLING FOR THEIR FREEDOM. everything else is irrelevant and if you distract from the ACTUAL PURPOSE of what he did you're doing the zionists' work for them.

Repost from @rafternoon
Rest in power and may your name be for a blessing Aaron Bushnell. 😔
If you’re seeing Aaron Bushnell’s bravery and helplessness in the face of horror in Gaza & thinking you should follow, I hope you realize we need you here with us. We celebrate him but we are also deeply hurt and mourning. I wish we got to know him. To organize with him. And you.
I’ve seen generational impacts of one human organizing, I’ve seen things shift, lives saved, bonds built from just a person using their turmoil, empathy, bravery to join our movements. Aaron is a hero in my eyes but so is everyone on the streets, pushing at work, taking risks.
Life is precious and beautiful and powerful. And if you can choose it, if you’re not forced to end it for whatever valid reasons, I would really celebrate you sticking around. Every day. We need everybody.

Rest in Peace Aaron Bushnell
"I will be no longer complicit in genocide. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest, but compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it is not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal. Free Palestine. Free Palestine. Free Palestine."
On February 25th 2024, Aaron Bushnell, a 25 year old active member of the US Military, self-immolated outside the zionist embassy in Washington, D.C.

"We have power, we just don't hold it. In order to hold it, we have to organize to grasp it collectively." — one of Aaron Bushnell's last posts on Reddit
