What connects Minnesota, Gaza, the West Bank, and cities across the United States is continuity. A system that refines techniques of control on the most vulnerable populations and then redeploys them more broadly. A system that tests repression abroad and normalizes it at home. A system that treats entire communities as expendable in the name of “security.” 

The same logic that justifies military occupation abroad is used to rationalize policing, deportation, and surveillance at home. That is why calls to abolish ICE, defund militarized policing, and defend civil liberties cannot be separated from demands to end U.S. military aid to Israel. These are not parallel struggles; they are fights against the same architecture of state violence. 

And that architecture depends on fragmentation: on our willingness to see these issues as disconnected, isolated, or unrelated. Refusing that fragmentation and insisting on connection is necessary for any serious movement for justice. Our struggles are undeniably interconnected.
