We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

The best way to incentivize peaceful protesting is: 1) don’t arrest peaceful protestors 2) don’t shoot peaceful protestors 3) cover peaceful protestors 4) prioritize the demands of peaceful protestors instead of corporate interests

Measles is a notoriously contagious disease in the absence of vaccination coverage. Outbreaks have been spreading in Sudan's war-torn Darfur region for a year. @doctorswithoutborders.org has treated nearly 10,000 patients and is supporting mass vaccination campaigns. A much larger response is needed

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive. But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

It's day 20 of the #FastForGaza . Israel is committing more war crimes in order to ensure the people in Gaza starve. We must pressure them to allow in sufficient humanitarian aid. We must stop arming them with weapons until they end the occupation of Palestine.

In the spirit of this great oped, journalists (inc. Goldberg) must recognize that one of Trump’s patterns is: 1. Do something wildly illegal 2. Identify the name of a law 3. Proceed to ignore every limit in that law The pattern is tricking papers into writing “Trump is invoking a rarely used law.”

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.
