A group of Civil Defense and Palestinian Red Crescent crews in Gaza disappeared when they went to Rafah on a rescue mission. A week later, the bodies of 14 first responders were found dead and buried in the sand by the Israeli army. mondoweiss.net/2025/03/the-... #Palestine #Israel

Yup

Seems bad

This will definitely convince the students that Israel is a legitimate democracy

When you’re going after Quakers that’s a sure sign you’re on the wrong side of history

Making bird calls from the next stall over to you and wiggling a stick in the toilet tank to generate the gentle lapping of waves. You deserve a calm stay here, friend. Let my sounds make this an oasis for your day.

New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants social media for "a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador. /technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

another student was disappeared at the University of Minnesota

No one: Kash Patel:

“The order he signed behind closed doors puts Vice President JD Vance, who serves on the Smithsonian Institution’s Board of Regents, in charge of overseeing efforts to “remove improper ideology” from all areas of the institution…” apnews.com/article/trum...

billionaires are already not needed for anything and yet we've hardly made any progress getting rid of them. we should really focus on that.

"Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this" newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

"Parents can't find food for their children... [as] Israeli Forces continue bombardment." No humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks, says UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini, the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/2brjf3

It's been fully memory-holed, but Marco Rubio was elected to the Senate as a Tea Party candidate. He'll back whichever tendency within the Republican Party that seems ascendant and likely to move him ahead. Right now, that's fascism.

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

Either you find this disgusting, or you are disgusting. There is no in between.

petulantly making photos of their pathetic nazi rally into anime. getting a time machine and sending andrea yates back to when this guy was a kid and telling her to just do whats natural

Steve Buscemi will return as Nikita Khrushchev in "AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY"

congrats to everyone who equated anti-genocide protest with supporting hamas

SCOOP—State Dept. now requires "enhanced" social media vetting for student visa applicants suspected of "ties to terrorist orgs/activity" or applicants who previously held a visa starting Oct. 7th, 2023. Source: "Pretty clear immediate target is anyone who participated in pro-Palestinian protests."

This appears to be the op-ed Nick Ambeliotis, Fatima Rahman, Genesis Perez, and Rumeysa Ozturk wrote, with the endorsement of 32 graduate students, calling on Tufts to divest from Israeli apartheid and genocide. A few hours ago, ICE arrested Ozturk to deport her. www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2024...

She was targeted by a doxxing website and the US government used it to disappear her. canarymission.org/individual/R...

I don't care what side of the Israel-Palestine conflict your sympathies lie on, snatching up people with a valid student visa for the crime of writing an OpEd is naked fascism and if you don't oppose this you are a threat to this country's most basic values

There was one singular person the Trump team wanted to kill. They thought they tracked him to his girlfriend’s place, presumably in a civilian apartment building in Sana’a. So they dropped bombs on the neighborhood and leveled the building. Reactions from the group: “amazing job” “Excellent” “👊🇺🇸💥”

One week of US strikes in Yemen under the Trump administration killed at least 25 civilians, including 4 children. 55% of strikes hit civilian sites. Targets bombed included: medical storage facility, medical centre, school, wedding hall, residential areas & Bedouin tents mailchi.mp/f747387e081f...

Leaked Messages Reveal what US Doesn’t Want You to Know about Its War Plans #palestine #palestinechronicle

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

The US Academy refused to offer a statement of support for a Palestinian director it had awarded an Oscar to while he was being illegally detained and tortured.

The Vice President and the National Security Advisor discussing how they pre-targeted a building housing civilians.

🚨Death toll since dawn in Gaza rises to 11, including 5 children After at least 37 Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, and Al Jazeera reports there has been no letup in Israel’s assault overnight and into the morning:

well gosh it seems like the people who are unfit for office are once again demonstrating that unfitness i wonder if anyone in power will do anything to prevent the further confirmation of unfit people to important jobs or if they'll just focus on their real job, keeping the left pro-israel

it is absolutely unhinged that the zionist entity is being allowed to playing UEFA qualifying matches, and pretty pathetic no one has refused to play them yet

‘I Messed Up At Work Again,’ Crestfallen Michael Waltz Texts Wife, National Geographic Editorial Staff

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not security breaches but that the USA is casually and unconstitutionally bombing civilians in a foreign country to protect its genocidal Nazi vassal State.

Over 270 Palestinian children killed in one week by Israel in Gaza #palestine #thecradle

Won't someone think of the regime changers
