Mike Davis is still a damn good #storyteller

Why is it that the right, the extreme right, owns the streets and not the left? It’s not like #Europe, where in a lot of countries youth #activism is quiescent or on decline. There are millions of #people like [my 18-year-old son], but who’s telling him where to go to #fight or what to do?

#LipaRadić died at only seventeen years old in her #fight against the #Nazis, but they could not break her heroic spirit.

Lipa Radić was only 15 years old when the Axis Powers invaded #Yugoslavia in 1941. However, this brave young woman joined Yugoslavia's #partisans in the fight against the Nazis - a #battle that ended with her execution at just 17 years old.

On February 8, 1943, Lipa #Radić was brought to the hastily erected gallows in full view of the public. Moments before her hanging, Radek was offered a pardon if she revealed the names of her party comrades.

She responded enthusiastically, 'I am not a traitor to my people. Those you ask about will reveal themselves when they have succeeded in eliminating all the wicked, even the last human, and thus she has been hanged.

Der ewige Kampf ums Überleben.
Tag für Tag.
Nacht für Nacht.

Viele Kinder frieren über Nacht,
Feuer ist eine Frage des Überlebens.

Register for the Belmarsh Tribunal: Free Julian Assange

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7rBuTphpcM
https://act.progressive.international/belmarsh-tribunal/

The #HighCourt will hear the #appeal on #October27-28 in #London, which will decide #JulianAssange's immediate fate. He remains #imprisoned in #maximum #security #Belmarsh #prison for two and a half years, despite #winning his #extradition #battle in the UK’s #DistrictCourt last January. For now all eyes must be focused on the appeal at the High Court at the end of October. #Public #pressure is the only thing that can end the deliberate, punitive #incarceration of #Assange. This is, when all is said and done, the most #important #press #freedom #case of the 21st century.

Just a few days before the extradition #hearing in Julian’s case (October 27-28) and inspired by the #Russell-Sartre #Tribunal that put the US government’s #war-crimes in #Vietnam on trial, we are bringing together leading #lawyers, #politicians and #journalists to put the US government on trial for its crimes in the 21st century — from #atrocities in #Iraq, to #torture in #GuantánamoBay, and the country’s huge #surveillance program.
Talking about the Russell-Sartre Tribunal, #Russel said that the tribunal “represented no state power; it had no capacity to sentence the accused”. But he added something important: “I believe that these apparent limitations are, in fact, #virtues. We are free to conduct a solemn and #historic #investigation, presented to the #conscience of #mankind”.
You are already part of the conscience of #humankind. Become part of the #struggle to #free Julian Assange and #protect other #whistleblowers and #journalists. Protect what is #right and #fight what is so obviously wrong.
Members of the Belmarsh Tribunal, named after the prison where Assange has been imprisoned for more than two years, include #DanielEllsberg, #YanisVaroufakis, #RafaelCorrea, #StefaniaMaurizi, #RenataÁvila, #JeremyCorbyn, #KenLoach, #TariqAli, #SelayGhaffar and many others.

#SrećkoHorvat, cabinet member of the #Progressive #International and one of the founders of the #BelmarshTribunal, said:
“After the #revelations about the #murderous #CIA #plans to #kill a #publisher and #journalist on #British soil, not only the current #US #government but also the #UK government must be held responsible for still keeping Assange in #prison.The #Biden administration should #dropthecharges against Assange and the UK government should #free him immediately and end the #suffering and #torture of a #courageous #man who has #committed #no #crime. In a #society in which telling the #truth becomes a crime, we are all #accomplices of crime as long as Assange is in prison.”

#join #mobilize #organize

#Organized by #TheProgressiveInternational the tribunal will hold its first #physical #proceedings in #London at the #ConvocationHall, #ChurchHouse, #Westminster at 3pm BST, #22October. #register #attend-online

[] So when I am in a familiarly #dangerous situation where I feel #threatened because of my past #experiences, there is a good chance my #reflex is going to be #fight and not #flight and that “fight” might just be a #pint glass over the head when #you put your #hands around my #throat. #Choking someone because they threw a #drink on you for continually #harassing [them] is a disproportionate response. As far as I’m concerned, not #listening when a #woman says “no” to your #sexual advances and failed #pick-up artistry is #equal to throwing the first #punch, and I was sticking up for #myself. I have no #regrets, despite what my #face may look like. The fact I feel like I have to #explain all this in my #defense is ridiculous. []
