A new message from my friend Tasneem in Gaza is below. Every day, it gets worse for civilians, more frightening, and more difficult to obtain food of any kind.

it's very funny seeing people pretending Tulsi Gabbard is not going to be on board with a war that could kill thousands of Muslims

If ICE weren’t a government agency, it’d be up on RICO charges by now. Coordinated attacks on immigrant communities, warrantless detentions, and even targeting elected officials. This ain't law enforcement—it’s tax dollar-funded terror.

The curfews in LA are about filling up jail cells, not about "Law and Order". Your police and military and many of your Dem reps are complicit to the whims of a dictator and I have very little faith that these people are doing their best to protect us.

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

If they’re going to charge municipal officials with assault for requesting to see a warrant, I don’t see the benefit of ensuring all anti-ICE actions are orderly or “peaceful.” You can be an elected official calmly invoking procedural norms, they don’t care.

If you haven't read Orwell or Bradbury, now's the time to do so. What DHS is doing w/ their latest Lander post is screaming Groupthink. It feels weirdly hyperbolic to write this, but believe your own eyes. Believe what we all saw. (Not screenshotting the post, because why help lies spread? 🤷‍♀️)

i don't think police should shoot anyone but it is always wild to me that these white mass-murderers are taken into custody "without incident" while unarmed Black and brown folks get shot in the back with their hands in the air and get charged with "assault" for bleeding on the cops who beat them

if lander gets charged with resisting or assaulting an officer, remember that the vast majority of these charges are completely made up. cops use them to instill fear and they've been woven into the plea negotiation framework that our criminal legal system operates on for decades.

I think the thing you have to understand about the GOP base’s support for the military occupation of our cities is that they really think GTA is basically a documentary for any urban area of appreciable size.

It's quickly becoming a normal occurrence for Democratic elected officials to be physically assaulted, threatened with arrest, or prosecuted on bogus charges. If you'd recited the litany from just the past month a year ago, it would have been dismissed as hysterical.
