“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he said in a self-recorded livestream outside of the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC. “But, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.” He then lit himself on fire. He later succumbed to his injuries in a hospital.

Formerly and currently incarcerated organizers in Alabama are striking out against a prison system that they characterize as slavery.
Incarcerated organizers, many of them forming part of organizations such as the Free Alabama Movement (FAM), have been leading the efforts against the Alabama prison system. The specific demands they have brought forward include repealing the Habitual Felony Offender Act, which they argue keeps prisoners, particularly Black prisoners, incarcerated. Other demands are abolishing life sentences without parole, instating mandatory parole guidelines and retroactive sentencing guidelines, ending nitrogen gas executions, and ending the theft of prisoner organs.

#PeoplesHistory | On this day in 1972, the trial of legendary Black Communist activist Angela Davis began in California. Facing unjust charges, Davis built a powerful defense campaign supported by over 300 solidarity groups around the world. With experienced lawyers by her side, Davis consistently exposed holes in the prosecution's case. On June 4, the all-white jury returned not guilty verdicts on all charges - a major victory against political repression. #AngelaDavis
