We are coming up on the elections in occupied turtle Island, what does this mean? A brief commentary on what to do if you are voting, and what to do in addition to voting, how elections take momentum from real organization, and why we should not focus on elections as a meaningful tool for change, and of course along with that a brief analysis about how elections came to be a tool of the state for control. We also comment on the victories and continued resistance of those throughout west Asia, specifically, of course, those resisting Genocide in Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait and elsewhere.
