Lara Sheehi joins as our therapist with Jon Elmer(successfully pressured by your comments on the Day 467 Sit Rep), Nora, Mikey, Alex, and Joe. Hours before the ceasefire is set to go into effect, we debrief our worry, our awe and pride in the Palestinians, our rage at genocide, why we did this series of so-called "tankie therapy" and why some of us had to avoid it sometimes over the past 15 months. Will this be the last one?

"The Good Shepherd Collective was formed in Palestine in 2017 in response to the restrictive NGO system and its inability to meet the needs of the moment. GSC understands oppression as rooted in the systems and laws guiding civil formation and order. As such, we are an anti-zionist, anti-colonial, and, by definition, anti-capitalist organization. We advocate for justice through a process of decolonization that ushers in a future where the material resources and political process are decoupled from capitalist systems of control and returned to the indigenous peoples.
