"The Trump administration has detained a Tufts University graduate student exactly one year after she coauthored a plea for 'the equal dignity and #humanity of all people,' including Palestinians.

"Rumeysa Ozturk, a native of Turkey, was 'ambushed' late Tuesday outside her apartment, according to a statement that her attorney provided to The Boston Globe. Neighbors had seen agents in #UnmarkedCars monitoring her apartment for two days prior to the arrest, the outlet reported.

"'Her arrest comes after the #ProIsrael group #CanaryMission flagged Ozturk for having 'engaged in anti-Israel activism in March 2024.'"

If a drop of water falls in a bucket at the rate of one drop per day, by the time the next drop falls in, the previous one has all ready evaporated, never collecting enough water to even have a sip to drink, much like the drip of support so many that are #disabled and living in #poverty receive, those drips as appreciated as they provide vital support, never flow fast enough to provide actual lasting meaningful relief, leaving those of us that are vulnerable without and often shamed for having to constantly ask for support to live, if for when it rains it could pour and fill the bucket, and provide for many days, so if support where to pour in, and bring true relief allowing those in need the means to live, if only people could see a drop in a bucket only adds up if it is constant, so much this disabled man living in poverty needs, but the random drops often come to infrequently and far less bountiful than what is needed, if only people could truly see the value in helping those like me, You can encourage my continued useless poetic commentary on random thoughts and events, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a #disabled man living in #poverty, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via #cashapp at $woctxphotog or via #paypal at paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…

We cannot rely on the US to protect or nurture the commons. Think of the US as a giant shopping mall with guns. That’s it. That’s the whole philosophy right there.

We want to safeguard the infrastructure of civilisation, we have to do it ourselves here in the EU before it’s too late. And we can start by acknowledging our own failures and redoubling our commitment to fundamental rights and democracy (and not limit our own potential by having every single decision framed by the fucking “Single Market”).

You want to end up like the US? Then let’s keep going as we are. You want something different? We must invest in the commons, embrace our diversity, embrace equity, and move to an inclusive, post-capitalist existence.

It’s up to us. The bacteria in places we haven’t even visited yet that will survive long after we’ve made ourselves extinct – should that be the route we decide to take (because yes, it is a decision) – don’t really give two shits either way.

I love this woman, one of the lonely voices of courage and humanity in the jungle of paid propaganda and hateful screams.

Long time ago, Sweden used to be the land standing up to fascists and imperialist powers and siding with the oppressed and the victims.

That Sweden, was murdered in a cold february night, 40 years ago.

Francesca is the flag bearing woman lighting up the dark world we exit in these days.
