I know it's hard to watch the destruction and starving children but we must. Please don't look away www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

Hope all Indivisible groups get the memo. Thanks to Leah Greenberg

it's really shocking and disgusting. it's genocide denial; it's a repulsive attack on free speech. it's shameful. and the students speaking up are courageously demonstrating what a commitment to education and truth really looks like.

Editorial cartoon in today’s SF Chronicle!!

Ben Cohen is an old white guy worth $150M. He has no need to risk his comfort & get arrested for protesting a genocide all the way in Gaza. But Ben has values lacking in most people of his wealth & privilege—empathy, humanity, & justice. Ben Cohen is what a true leader looks like. God bless him.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

The essays in this episode of Time Magazine are truly timely and important reads. I highly recommend them to you. I also am shocked and grateful that they published them at this point in the history of the USA. time.com/magazine/

From what I’ve read this woman is Jewish and holds an Israeli passport. This bonkers conflation of criticism of Israel with anti-semitism is destructive on so many levels

BREAKING: A new Gaza solidarity encampment is being built at Yale, one year after dozens were arrested here. They demand immediate divestment from Israeli weapons manufacturing. Despite the Trump admin abducting activists like Mahmoud Khalil nationwide, hundreds of are here anyway. FREE PALESTINE!

In a brief order, the court directed the Trump administration not to remove Venezuelans held in the Bluebonnet Detention Center in Texas "until further order of this court."

Watch. Share. Watch together. www.avclub.com/no-other-lan...

Mahmoud Khalil addressing the judge today: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

JUST IN: Khalil was detained last month after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he had determined that Khalil's activism was antisemitic.

The decision in Abrego Garcia seems to be 9-0, calling his deportation illegal but directing the lower court to clarify what “effectuate” (as in, bring about his return) means. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Why didn't Booker in his 25+ hour speech, or the many congress people speaking today at hands off rallies mention it?? www.theguardian.com/world/2023/o...

Today the Netanyahu regime once again unilaterally broke the ceasefire, bombed Gaza, and killed at least 112 more Palestinian civilians with the majority being women and children. And in response the US Senate voted 85-15 to send Netanyahu more bombs to drop on Palestinians. This is genocide.

Here are the 15 Senators—all Democrats—who voted to stop arming Netanyahu: Murphy (CT) Hirono (HI) Schatz (HI) Durbin (IL) Markey (MA) Warren (MA) Van Hollen (MD) Smith (MN) Kim (NJ) Heinrich (NM) Ray Luján (NM) Merkley (OR) Kaine (VA) Sanders (VT) Welch (VT) The other 85 voted to fund genocide.

A slide about the death toll in Gaza “could be perceived as antisemitic.”

Absolutely horrifying. Thanks to Qasim for providing link to contact our representatives. open.substack.com/pub/qasimras...

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Genocide.

Nearly 2000 signatories (and counting) by US Jewish academics on this open statement against the politicization of Jewish identity as a pretext for eroding communities, institutions (e.g., academia), and democracy (e.g., disappearing people)... docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The deportation of Dr. Alawieh is a shocking and disgraceful violation of due process and the rule of law. The Trump administration’s lawless targeting of people with legal immigration status warrants the strongest possible condemnation.

We don’t if they were gang members, only that Trump’s DOJ says they were. But they’ve had no trials. They are “accused.” They are “alleged” to be members of a gang that Trump has named. And now they are vanished. This is an actual nightmare and we should be up in arms.

NEW: When Marco Rubio abruptly halted foreign aid, cleanup crews in Vietnam were forced to abandon one of the largest chemical spills in the world for weeks. Left exposed: open pits of soil contaminated with dioxin, the deadly byproduct of Agent Orange.

Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too? 🚮

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

some helpful reminders: -not all jews support israel -criticizing israel is not the same as being antisemitic -being pro-palestine does not equal being pro-hamas -arresting someone for being pro-palestine is a violation of the first amendment -violating someone’s first amendment rights is bad

Mahmoud Khalil did everything MAGAs claim they care about: He followed the law, got his green card legally, got married & started a family, had no criminal record—but because the party of free speech didn't like HIS free speech, he's abducted & set for deportation www.qasimrashid.com/p/ice-abduct...
