Condemning Dana Nessel’s Hypocrisy

A line of UMPD officers in riot gear prepare to violently sweep the Palestine solidarity encampment at the University of Michigan

Originally published on https://whatsleftypsi.com/2025/condemning-dana-nessels-hypocrisy/

Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel, a self-styled progressive who has attempted to build a reputation opposing Donald Trump’s authoritarianism, now exposes her own hypocrisy by weaponizing the legal system to suppress pro-Palestine protesters. Her refusal to drop the politically motivated charges against students and activists at the University of Michigan—despite mass demands to Drop the Charges—reveals a glaring contradiction: She claims to fight tyranny while enabling it. Nessel’s actions align her not with the communities she purports to defend, but with the same carceral systems and imperial logic she once condemned.

Nessel’s prosecution of pro-Palestine dissent is a betrayal of the principles she claims to uphold. Where was this zeal for “accountability” when white supremacists plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor? Where is her outrage over “israel’s” US-funded genocide in Gaza, which has slaughtered over 40,000 Palestinians? Her selective application of justice exposes a dangerous truth: For Nessel, opposing Trump is a political brand, not a commitment to dismantling oppression. When the victims of state violence are Palestinians and their allies, she sides with the powerful.

UMPD Officer’s Home Redecorated

Posted on 2024/11/30 by unsalted

A blurry and indistinct individual with a smiling sunglasses emoji for a face is pictured in front of a garage door spray painted with the words "gaza=kosovo", "fuck 12" and "fuck dpss".

Last night, we visited the home of Milot Goci, a Lieutenant of UMPD. Twenty five years ago, Milot fled ethnic cleansing in Kosovo. Today, Milot is part of the machine that perpetuates the genocide in Gaza. He has overseen the brutalization and arrests of people protesting the University of Michigan’s funding of “israel” and the companies that are profiting from the blood of Palestinians.

We spray painted his garage with the words “GAZA = KOSOVO, FUCK12, FUCK DPSS” and broke a window of his house. We did this to remind those contributing to this genocide that so long as they continue doing so, they are not safe.

Fuck 12. Free Palestine

Towards Another Uprising

Posted on 2024/10/25 by unsalted

Graffiti on a wall reads "war starts here"

At the end of 2010 an individual act of despair in the town of Sidi Bouzid ignited a daring, enraged, and joyful upheaval that travelled through North Africa into the Middle East and beyond. People defied the oppressive systems they had been immersed in for generations and came together in the streets to topple the political elites at their helm. The authorities, at first stunned by this courageous spirit that they couldn’t understand, then unleashed a cynical and brutal response.

This defeat is still being inflicted on the people in the region, and is also felt all over the world by those who stood in solidarity with the uprisings but were mostly unable to overcome their powerlessness as the uprisings were massacred.

The horrors in the region during the last decade are many. To name some that stick most in my mind: Sisi has turned back the clock in Egypt to military dictatorship with the material support of the US. The regimes in the other North-African countries are paving over any sign of freedom while being coaxed by European countries to shut down the immigration routes over the Mediterranean. Without the murderous military campaigns of Hezbollah and the IRGC in Syria, Assad wouldn’t have survived the uprising. The Iranian regime itself brutally oppressed three different uprisings in the country in the last decade. Most people in Lebanon are in a daily struggle for survival because of the greed of its political leaders while mobs at the orders of Hezbollah beat down street protests. Early on in the uprisings, Hamas, who has shot political opponents in broad daylight on the streets of Gaza, culled attempts at an uprising by rounding up protest organizers and threatening them with murder. Leaders in the region understood once again that they can use any means against the populations under their control without real push-back from outside. Indifference, cynicism and opportunism trump moral appeals, and strategic alliances are always in play. The world churns on. For those of us who have not looked away, how can we not see a connection between Assad bombing Syrian cities into obliteration and Netanyahu razing Gaza?

Call for Autonomous Acts of Rage Against Colonization Everywhere on Monday October 14th 2024

Posted on 2024/10/12 by unsalted

A single wolf in the woods, howling to the sky.

“We will need each other to make sure that the flames, if they were to come, clear the area that we will live in together. We will need to clear it of the fuel that would end up repeating the problems we are currently having. We will need to make sure that the seeds, nutrients and soil are scattered beyond our ability to control.” Aragorn

We don’t just want a cease fire, we want the Right of Return for all Palestinian people, for water to flow, and the traditions to stay alive. We can’t get back the countless lives lost, but we can honor and avenge them. And we will.

For the end of the struggle that is settler colonialism everywhere. Where the land is stolen, consent violated, the old ways forgotten – let it burn.

We hope that every colonizer who robs the lives and dignity of the land and the people on it understands that their great-grandchildren, and their great-grandchildren’s children are not going to be here because of their violence and indeterminent destruction.

We will still be here fighting for the next seven generations, but we will never forget the slaughter, and we will remember to make sure those grandchildren stay afraid of all that is wild.

The united states government now “recognizes” indigenous people’s day alongside columbus day. we must make this impossible to reconcile. We will remain illegible to them, and unknowable to all but each other and the stars above, the water below, and all that of the earth fighting back. We call out to the brave and the humble – all that is striving towards life, while defying management, capture, and domestication with a strength they could never know.

find the connections, funders, manufacturers, advisors, politicians, gentrifiers, and all enemies of the people and the earth. you know who they are.

find some friends and haunt those motherfuckers ghosts

Week of rage Oct 7th-14th. Take direct action against genocidal zionists: from the demokkkratic party to arms manufacturers, local pig forces to uni admin"

LET the FLOOD of AL-AQSA DROWN the SETTLER EMPIRE!

Call for a Week of Rage from October 7–14: Direct action in solidarity with the Palestinian Resistance and anti-colonial movements in Turtle Island.

To act alongside the Al-Quds Axis and ‘bring the war home’ requires nothing less than a revival of anti-colonial militancy in this occupied continent. Free Palestine means death to amerika. Continue reading “Call to Action: Oct 7 Week of Rage” →

Date Changed! -> “Fuck the 4th, Siege the Ports”

Posted on 2024/06/25 - 2024/06/28 by unsalted

"Fuck the 4th Siege the Ports" Seattle event flyer, modified to inform that the event has been canceled. It reads "The Seattle "Fuck the 4th, Siege the Ports" action has been canceled. For other cities and comrades that may be planning actions this upcoming week, we hope for others to show out in force and nothing but the best."

UPDATE:

6/25/2024

The Seattle “Fuck the 4th, Siege the Ports” action has been canceled.

We do not think a critical mass can be reached for this action,
so the decision has been made to call it off.

The action had been moved to July 4th, but we still believe this is not attainable.

If people would still like to show up in SoDo they should not expect others to be there.

We apologize for the late notice,
but we believe calling off the action at this point in time is the right decision.

For other cities and comrades that may be planning actions this upcoming week,
we hope for others to show out in force and nothing but the best.

For a free Palestine,
fuck the US forever,
and the Zionist death machine that it keeps alive.

Call for Port and Railyard Blockades on July 1st

Posted on 2024/05/17 by unsalted

Flyer with Palestinian flag background. It reads: Fuck the 4th seize the ports. Occupy and block US ports & railyards. In solidarity with those fighting their own genocide in Palestine, we intend to throw a wrench in the war machine. We call on the below cities to join us. Seattle, Oakland, LA, Boston, NY/NJ, Baltimore, Miami, New Orleans, Houston, and Chicago. Date of action Monday July 1st. From occupied Coast Salish land, some friends in Seattle. Also fuck the police.

(FOR IMMEDIATE AND WIDE DISTRIBUTION)

5/13/2024

As the escalation of the genocide continues, an escalation on our end is demanded.

We call on cities across the U.S. to participate in a collective blockade and occupation of cargo ports and railyards.

To be clear, the one and only goal of this action is to economically affect the US for as long as possible.

These actions will be autonomous and horizontally organized, with a respect for a diversity of tactics.

Plans are already in the works for Seattle, with more info to be announced in June.

We hope the radical orgs, crews, and rebels in their respective cities start planning NOW for a nationwide action on July 1st.

For the people of Palestine,
shut this shit DOWN.
