" A pregnant woman and other female volunteers were among more than 112 civilians killed within hours during an attack by #Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the Zamzam displacement camp in North #Darfur, the SIHA Network women’s rights group said on Saturday." sudantribune.com/article299661/

On day 3 of the onslaught, Zamzam IDP Camp is now under RSF control. Mass exodus of civilians from the camp, and mass killings of those trying to escape. The screenshot below is from the Sudanese American Physicians Association, the last message from their team on the ground. #KeepEyesOnSudan

I know I’m preaching to choir but after attending a round table on access to education there is a such a divide in “migration field” between the UN/IOs & the communities & academics. I don’t even know how we discuss this but it’s detrimental to the rights of migrants-Truly two different realities!

Such a wrenching story about the people being sent away to El Salvador, with way to contact family, and the horrific debates their lawyers and families must have to save their lives. By @jonathanblitzer.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Whether it's liberal students booing Charles Murray or conservative presidents sending innocent fathers to die in El Salvadoran torture prisons, there's been plenty of incivility on both sides of the political spectrum.

Also, a woman was handcuffed at a subway station in NYC (Franklin Ave) when she intervened asking why a delivery man was asked to show work permit by undercover agents. There is a video of that.

100 percent. And flagging that, at least at some US airports, there is now a separate immigration line for green card holders. So three lines: one for U.S. Citizens, one for green card holders, one for other passport holders.

These are forced disappearances. The videos look exactly like those from any autocracy. They remind me of my work on forced disappearances and targeted killings in Egypt in 2015. If I learned anything from this research it's that being silent doesn't protect you from becoming a target yourself.

For an article, I'm looking for teachers willing to speak about how Trump's EOs on "radical ideologies," "patriotic" education, etc. are affecting their work, whether that's actual mandates from their district or classroom/workplace environment. Signal and email are in my bio. RTs appreciated.
