&gt; “He is one of the most principled comrades I’ve ever known,” said Xylem, who worked with Bushnell to support San Antonio’s unhoused residents.<p>&gt; “He’s always trying to think about how we can actually achieve liberation for all with a smile on his face,” said Errico.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;taliaotg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1761944166693568609&#x2F;photo&#x2F;2" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;taliaotg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1761944166693568609&#x2F;phot...</a>

&gt; Bushnell, who was wearing fatigues on Sunday in Washington, was a DevOps engineer based in San Antonio, Texas, according to his LinkedIn profile.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;aaron-bushnell-875897280" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;in&#x2F;aaron-bushnell-875897280</a><p>&gt; I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the airman repeated, in footage reviewed by TIME, as he walked toward the driveway of the Israeli embassy. “But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.<p>Video <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;taliaotg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1761944158636331247" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;taliaotg&#x2F;status&#x2F;1761944158636331247</a>

&gt; One cop (white shirt, maybe security, it’s not clear) begins spraying him with a fire extinguisher, the cop with gun drawn remains stationary. White shirt yells “I don’t need guns, I need fire extinguishers!” More cops arrive, as do EMTs. 3 fire extinguishes are used.<p>It seems there was some police negligence. Why to draw a weapon on someone self-immolating, instead of helping put out the flames?<p>This reminds me of the &#x27;burning monk&#x27; from the Vietnam war. Impressive.
