Our gratitude to Caitlin & Tim for giving a voice to our dissent. We live in very dangerous times. With the media is propagandising as never before - making the abnormal become the normal. A recurring genocide with all its horrors is just a footnote; no questioning of a historical victimhood being weaponised; Trump and his billionaires' obscenity treated as commonplace.

Khalil’s story, as much as he is an inspiration is a warning - a chilling effort to destroy the capacity for critical thought, criminalise dissent and make the 'other' disappear.

We have reached the end point of gangster capitalism with no where else to go but to fascism.

And it is here right now, criminalising dissent, weaponising the justice system, dismantling public and higher education, abducting individuals, corruption, and executing mass deportations with a cold, brutal efficiency. Denying their humanity and dignity by trussing them up, shaving their hair and marching them off to prison in El Salvador. White supremacy at its worst.
