Maybe you didn’t personally drop bombs on innocent Yemenis, but the guy whose plane you performed maintenance on did. Maybe you didn’t shoot that 14 year old Iraqi kid who got too close to wire, but the guy you provided medical care did. Maybe you didn’t sexually assault that woman in Okinawa, but the guy who ate in your mess hall did. The vast majority of military service roles are non-combat. Their only purpose is to enable the combatants who carry out the crimes of the American empire.

I officially inform you that we have run out of flour and no food is available. Within two days, the flour may run out completely in the Gaza Strip.

We do not have flour and it is expensive because the occupation prevents its entry.

Donate to save our lives from famine.

Literally an unbelievable video, a bunch of men are surrounding and pushing around this woman in the middle of the street??

“I know how lucky I am, stupid with luck, crammed with it, stumbling drunk. I wake sometimes in the dark terrified by my life’s precariousness, its thready breath.”
