“No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away...”
Terry Pratchett; Reaper Man

Today, the world lost Aaron Bushnell, a brave, noble, and conscientious human being, but his message reached and resonated around the world.

Aaron proved that his conscience's ability to bear the scenes of dead and wounded Palestinian children was weaker than his ability to bear the pain of fire burning his body, so he continued to chant freedom for Palestine until the last moment of his life.

Thank you Aaron, but we will continue to cry for you as we cry for the children of Palestine.

https://x.com/alon_mizrahi/status/1762198831129628829?s=20 an essay on Aaron Bushnell by Alon Mizrahi

If I must die,
You must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
whole looking haven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
see the kite, my kite you made, flying up above
and thinks for a moment and angel is there
bringing back love
if I must die
Let it bring hope
Let it be a tale

To live in silence while children are slaughtered is a sign of mental illness.
#AaronBushnell US special operations forces are currently in Israel and we know US drones are flying over Gaza. The United States of America is a full participant in this conflict. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/us-special-forces-in-israel/

He did it. Aaron Bushnell forced this to happen. He did something so jarring and impactful that the mass media would be forced to report the raw facts about it if they want to avoid internal conflict like CNN and NYT have been experiencing in recent weeks. He left them no choice.

A man feeling such overpowering shame that it becomes too much, and he needs to fight it back with whatever means necessary, to not let it eat him alive; a man suffocated and crushed under the unbearable weight of a broken conscience and broken dreams saw a horrible death as the less painful experience; a man who could not go on living when his government and his people murder thousands of children with absolute indifference.
Such a man made the ultimate sacrifice yesterday

I can't believing I'm saying this, but Aaron Bushnell's last words were just read live on CNN.

his message is burnt into our hearts forever

remember the name. respect the sacrifice

AARON BUSHNELL WAS A PHILANTHROPIST WHO HELPED SERVE THE NEEDY

He helped with the charity “Serve The People” in San Antonio, Texas.

“Aaron was a valued member of our organization and the community who immediately jumped in to help the unhoused and any project that came up.”

“He was dependable and persistent in the mutual aid work he did in a city that was still new to him.”

The phot depicts Bushnell helping on a food stand for ‘Serve The People’.

“I burn my body.
So the flames may blaze
The Truth."

Vietnamese revolutionary poet Tố Hữu’s poem about Norman Morrison who set himself on fire in front of the Pentagon as a protest against the Vietnam war in 1965.

RIP Aaron Bushnell

just want people to know that there's an ongoing vigil at the spot where Aaron Bushnell died. People have been coming by on their own to leave flowers. There are candles available for anyone who wants to light one.

Dont let Aaron Bushnell have died in vain.

He died the way he lived his life : by serving people. May God Almighty be of service to him now, give him forgiveness of all his sins and give him life in paradise . This world wasn’t good enough for him , it didn’t deserve him. 🥀

“Aaron Bushnell was a devout Christian who loved Church Music. His family are affiliated with the Community of Jesus Church, in Massachusetts. “

Aaron Bushnell’s name will live on as an example of moral defiance & protest against a regime of genocide. He gave up his life for something bigger than himself, against his own uniform.

The walls are rotting, people are suffocating & this govt & its institutions refuse to care

Turn my mutilated body into fire，Aaron Bushnell，The last American, a true democracy fighter, a great internationalist, a whistleblower of American imperialism against human atrocities, liberating Palestine and opposing Israeli atrocities!#FreePalestine #AaronBushnell #Palestine

Aaron Bushnell died because he had too much humanity for a world run by people who don’t have any

Whenever anyone points out the harm the US army causes this is said by Americans to absolve the soldiers who commit genocide. These people aren’t innocent victims, they’re complicit, that’s why Bushnell protested
