Free Greta Thunberg + Freedom Flotilla
"Human rights groups around the world are condemning Israel’s attack on the Freedom Flotilla ship called the Madleen.
They’re saying it’s a war crime. The ship was sailing to Gaza with vital humanitarian aid for Palestinians, who are being starved by Israel’s strict blockade since early March, with 11 activists and one journalist on board. Israeli soldiers in the early hours of Monday — they have not, the activists, been heard of or located since. Those detained include the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg..."

Wes Flexner's interview With Fearless Vampire Killers Author Glen Friedman
wesflexner's rocknroll show
7pm Wednesdays
92.7. / 98.3 wcrsfm.org
Listen: https://anonrocknroll.com/2025/05/14/glen-friedman-fearless-vampire-kill...
One of my favorite sections of an afternoon. I'm eating lunch in my living room while reading a new book: Fearless Vampire Killers….Bad Brains Photographs by Akashic Books———> By Glen E. Friedman.
I now am using a Flex Capacitor. Now, I'm at A7 in the 1980’s New York looking at Bad Brains perform in a space the size of either Skylab or the Legion of Doom. I'm looking at PMA inspiring cultural evolution in the context of rejection of our fascist government.
In Fearless Vampire Killers, Friedman follows Bad Brains from A7 into the L.A. Sunset Strip. A7 is a small NY punk venue. L.A. is where Bad Brains sneak Black Flag on stage because Black Flag was banned because of punk riots. Fearless Vampire Killers is Glen E. Friedman in a moment working for skateboard media while participating in hardcore punk. Punk, and Hip Hop unleashed Bad Brains, Dead Kennedys, Public Enemy, BDP, Beastie Boys etc. Friedman took iconic flicks of all of these icons.
Punk and Hip Hop REJECTED 80s fascism until Hip Hop and grunge changed all of society. Friedman is legendary for documenting our culture’s icons – Dischord, Def Jam, and of course BAD BRAINS.
Friedman included 90 black and white photos from 81-82. Bad Brains Daryl Jennifer, and HR add commentary into Fearless Vampire’s Killers. We witness Friedman's relationship of being a skateboard punk kid at a show and then having his work document legendary moments.
Friedman’s photos inspired organic cultural evolution with the visuals of Bad Brains and later Public Enemy.
"Do you think Hip Hop, punk and skating will defeat fascism again in 2025 via cultural evolution?”

Free Rumeysa Ozturk
ICE KIDNAPPED RUMEYSA OZTURK AND SENT HER INTO A LOUISANA POLITICAL PRISON CAMP
http://democracynow.cachefly.net/democracynow/360/dn2025-0327.mp4?start=...
"Over a thousand protesters gathered near Tufts University on Wednesday after masked plainclothes immigration agents snatched Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts Ph.D. student and Fulbright scholar, from the streets of Somerville, Massachusetts. Surveillance video shows agents approaching her on the streets near her home Tuesday evening and handcuffing her while she screamed for help. Tufts University’s president said the school had no prior notice of her arrest. Last March, Ozturk co-wrote a piece in the student newspaper criticizing the Tufts administration’s response to Palestinian solidarity protests on campus that were calling for divestment from Israel. Democracy Now!'s Hany Massoud and Ariel Boone were in Somerville at Wednesday's protest. “One of our community members was taken by armed agents of the state who kidnapped her from right outside her home,” said Lea Kayali, an activist with the Palestinian Youth Movement. “People are here to stand up for the movement that she was punished for supporting.”
ACLU hasn't posted a petition..
