Zimbabwean authorities must end the misuse of the criminal justice system to arbitrarily arrest, detain, intimidate and harass opposition members, journalists and human rights defenders solely for peacefully exercising their human rights. #Mbedzi

Bhekimpilo Mbedzi is being prosecuted for posting a video on Facebook calling for people to participate in the planned protest. Zimbabwe authorities must stop cracking down on peaceful dissent #Protest is not a crime. #Mbedzi

We call on Zimbabwean authorities to immediately drop the charges against Bhekimpilo Mbedzi as his prosecution stems solely from the peaceful exercise of his human rights #Mbedzi

They SWAT-raided a man for throwing a hoagie at a cop—because he mocked Trump’s D.C. task force. The jury laughed. The state sent a message: dissent = federal crime. #SandwichGuy #ProtestIsNotACrime

“Imagine explaining to future generations that in 2025, you could be arrested in Britain for wearing a Morph T-shirt. Not for a Molotov cocktail. Not for a weapon. A plasticine man off telly. #FreeSpeech

People in China have the right to gather and speak out peacefully. Authorities must stop using excessive force and respect the voices calling for change. Peaceful protest is not a threat. It's a human right.

New single our today. 60 years old but, sadly, this song still resonates with the current state of our world.

I don’t know how anyone can listen to BBC headlines at 6 today without going mad.

One after the other:

1. The BBC was VERY WRONG to broadcast artists who dare call for harm to be done to Israel’s army

2. Israeli forces have killed & displaced hundreds of civilians in renewed bombing today

The National Guard is being sent into LA for protests that — by all accounts — are mostly peaceful.
This is not public safety. It’s intimidation. And it’s a dry run for something darker. I am Rightly Pissed.
