#HumanRight

i have a lot of compassion for the people who work at our hospitals. they are put into impossible situations by the capitalists who have taken over the boards of non-profit hospitals as another commodity money-maker.

i have no compassion whatsoever for the capitalists.

capitalist values say my life is worth nothing. that people like me should be forced to beg.

Americans need to demand #healthCare be recognized as a #humanRight.

it's the antifa thing to do: no profit for health care.

I think #BodilyAutonomy needs to be a key organizing principle for the #left. It ties together so many issues that seem unrelated: #AbortionRights, #ZeroCovid, #WorkersRights, and #EnvironmentalJustice.

My body should be mine to control, whether that's refusing an unwanted pregnancy, #covid19 infection, working conditions that harm my mental and physical health, or a planet polluted with toxins becoming unliveable due to extreme heat.

There are more issues beyond these that don't impact me directly because of my cis and white privilege, such as #TransRights and #RacialJustice, but I recognize that my fight for bodily autonomy is bound up with these fights. Through the lens of bodily autonomy, there's a lot of opportunities for building #solidarity. Everyone should have bodily autonomy as a #HumanRight.

Why should you care about Human Rights?

It is easy for anyone to become either a violator of human rights, or a person whose human rights have been violated. It is easy to fall into such a faction or relationship by not caring, not knowing, not being aware or even self-aware. Thus, we need to start with self-awareness and educate ourselves on the factual and emotional aspects, paying attention and taking a rational approach. The abuse of power-control relations is simply a matter of time: it begins once we stop caring, once we lose our compassion for other human beings.

As long as the web will sell you the "privacy services" (i.e. #Facebook planning to sell not-tracking premium accounts), you will not really own your #privacy (are you going to chat with premium accounts only?).

Privacy needs to be a #HumanRight. That's the only way to get real privacy.

"resisting arrest shouldn't be a crime. it should be a #humanright to resist being arrested"

"When someone is grabbing you and holding you down and shit, resistance isn't even a conscious decision. Your body automatically tries to remain in place against outside forces, and if you've ever just tried to position another person's hands for them or had #someone do so to you, you know it's finicky and requires concerted effort. "Resisting arrest" isn't even limited to active struggle but can be invoked whenever the pig thinks someone simply wasn't submitting as smoothly as they wanted. Add to this the #fact that the degree of resistance is typically impossible to prove, define or even support with any kind of evidence and it is just 100% an intentionally generic nonsense charge invented so they can punish #anybody at all that they've arrested."

@histodons #histodons #palestine Looking forward to going through Anne Irfan's "Refuge and Resistance: Palestinians and the International Refugee System" (Columbia University Press,
July 2023).

From the abstract:

Refuge and Resistance foregrounds how non-elite activism shaped the Palestinian campaign for international recognition, showing that engagement with world politics was driven as much by the refugee grassroots as by the upper echelons of the Palestine Liberation Organization. It demonstrates that refugee groups are important actors in global politics, not simply aid recipients.

The Israeli right really doesn't like the UN. How ironic. Two organizations, in particular: #ochaopt and #unrwa, are regularly attacked by them for either lying (that is to say, bearing witness to #humanright abuse in the #OccupiedTerritories) or simply still existing (a reminder to Israelis what they've done in #1948.)

In developed countries, human rights are important and protected, child labour is not allowed..

Not like in developing and 3rd world countries where greed, corruption is limitless and no rules to protect children.

My main point, don't throw rocks on others when you are living in a house made of glass.

And I know that America is not unique, the difference is that they have a level of freedom to report these to the news and expose them

Harry Belafonte, singer, actor and activist, has died at age 96


This makes me so sad. Sure he was old, but still, it's a big loss for the world to lose such an amazing man.

I admired him since I was very young. Reading about him in some of the few pieces on Iran who actually covered black activists like him.

His songs, became part of my first love to alternative music (from young teenage boy growing up in southern Iran point of interest) and waa delighted to find his albums at the Västerås StadsBibliotrk in Sweden.

His work to fight injustice didn't stop in US, and he fought with all his power against the apartheid regime of South Africa.

He was a great artist and a great man. R. I. P. Mr. Blafonte and thank you for opening my eyes and ears to a whole new wonderful world of music and widen my my narrow interes in my young days.
Singer, actor and human rights activist Harry Belafonte died Tuesday at age 96 of congestive heart failure. He broke racial barriers and balanced his activism with his artistry in ways that made people around the world listen. Belafonte, who was an EGOT holder for his Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, died at his home in New York, his publicist announced.

Style, class and charisma: That was Harry Belafonte as a performer. In the 1950s, his recordings for RCA Victor, which included his iconic version of the Jamaican folk song "Day-O" (also known as "The Banana Boat Song") set off a craze for calypso music. With his good looks and his shirt unbuttoned to his chest, audiences — Black and white — adored Belafonte at a time when most of America was still segregated.
