Tonight is the eve of Eid al-Adha which is colloquially called the Big Eid. The ‘small’ one being the one that follows Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr). Thinking of the poor, hungry and terrified on this night. Those who can’t celebrate. Stop the war. Stop supporting it. Stop the indifference about it.

On Dr. John Carlos's 80th birthday, we should look to the 1968 Olympian who raised his fist on the medal stand for an important lesson, writes @edgeofsports.bsky.social.

Parents and teachers in southern California are urgently asking for help to find a fourth grader who is being “held captive” by immigration authorities in Texas.

I'm looking forward to having Neve Gordon on the Trauma Code on WBAI 99.5 FM NYC today at 2:00pm to talk about his article in NY Review The Shame of Israeli Medicine archive.md/Z7Izp

Talked to Israel's Channel 13 News about #Gaza. I've said it before: the Israeli media is far more open than our own.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

Yall I just don’t understand. We’re grown adults. We should be discussing jazz, food, traveling, destroying capitalism/patriarchy, rainbows, mermaids, and unicorns

Had a good discussion with @rhodesben.bsky.social on Pod Save the World about #Gaza. We can stop this insanity anytime we like, all we have to do is stop sending the weapons. youtu.be/6aoTBgtQw5k?...

Yea. This is not good.

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.

My statement on the charges filed against me:

Forced starvation. Unrelenting bombings. Attacks on healthcare. These are all tactics the Israeli government is using to carry out its latest escalation of its ongoing Nakba — the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. 🧵

“It’s not just the story of war, it’s also the story of hunger.” As Gaza endures its 77th day under total siege—with no food, water or medicine allowed in— a woman in northern Gaza opens her makeshift home to Drop Site contributor and photographer Abdal Qader Sabbah. Abd Sabbah | @dropsitenews.com

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

they’re withholding this student’s diploma for acknowledging genocide. wild how every higher ed institution I’ve ever engaged with is policing thought crimes among its students

One thing that's worth noting: This student didn't even say the word "Israel." A simple recognition of Palestinian suffering was enough for an American university to withhold this student's diploma and "pursue disciplinary actions"

NYU s official statement in response to the attached 2 minute speech is absolutely shameful.

A consistent problem is funding.

ICE detains union organizer Alfredo Juárez Zeferino without charges, using immigration enforcement as a tool to silence labor activism under the Trump administration. #ICE #LaborRights #Immigration #PoliticalRetaliation #Project2025 #C2C

For the thousands who converged upon Wyman Park Dell, the opening roar of Turnstile’s new single “Never Enough” wasn’t just the start of a free concert; it felt like a collective exhale. baltimorebeat.com/photostory-t...

Baltimore: there are ICE agents questioning people in Waverly this morning. Be careful and know your rights.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Just saw @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is in Newark now demanding release of Ras Baraka. That’s my mayor!!

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”
