Teared up watching my first graders class sing about making a better world and thinking of what this world is doing to Palestinian children today

The People of Los Angeles Can Finally Go Back to Therapy @marinamasako.bsky.social reporting!

The United Kingdom has suspended free trade negotiations with Israel

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

Just thinking about normal gossip introducing me to perpetual stew

I just want my kids to be playing outside and get experience in a team. I don’t want to have to worry about my 7 year old not having fun. I just want mediocre athletes. Where do I find those parents?

Things are happening that cannot be undone. That's why they're so frightened.

Here's a thread of verified civilians trying to survive in Gaza. Their Bsky accounts are constantly deleted, so I’ll post directly to their funds. These are real people, in desperate need of help. We’re their only lifeline due to the aid blockades. Please give if you can and share. 1/17

not to mention this goes beyond Israel/Palestine. if you've spent any amount of time in your life opposing western violence directed at muslim populations, you've been called a terrorist or terrorist enabler.

It's hilarious that people in power thought the students would back down. youtu.be/oE6wK3gB9XM?...

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza kill 70 people, including 22 children, health officials say

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

The MOVE Bombing happened on May 13, 1985. Philadelphia police dropped two bombs on residential homes that killed MOVE members and their children. 61 homes were burned or destroyed and at least 250 people were left homeless.

Nearly 8000 Palestinian mothers have been killed by Israel since Oct 2023

All charges against pro-Palestinian student protesters in Michigan have been dismissed today 🍉

To save runaways from slavery who were trying to make lives in the North “illegally,” local Vigilance Committees formed. They kept watch for slave catchers, secreted away those in danger, and posted placards that outed slave catchers, sometimes hounding them till they left town.

SCOOP: Police shot UCLA protesters in the head w/ rubber bullets @ the encampment against Israel's war on Gaza. Now they're suing. "These attacks also happened in Democratic-run cities and blue states. That is a clear, direct path to what’s happening now with Trump." theintercept.com/2025/05/05/u...

"Her mother carried her for nine long months, through burning nights and weeping mornings, through dust, grief, and sirens. And then, birth. But no life to save. Only silence. The doctors stood helpless, mocked by the limits of their hands."

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

This is a fucking wild thing to post

A war crime, full stop.

A horrible story but god bless this woman so accurately reading the ICE goons for filth here

I check the little screen, I check the big screen, I check the watch screen, I check the tablet screen. I check the screen that reminds me of the good times, I check the screen that reminds me of the better times.

my buddy @resnikoff.bsky.social off the top rope with some actual class analysis www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Last April, South LA Cafe owner Joe Ward-Wallace approached two LAPD officers about a cop he saw driving recklessly in the community. In response, Joe was assaulted and arrested by the cops, denied bail, and held in solitary confinement for days. He is now suing LAPD.

🚨NEW: Wisconsin judge threatens to go on strike in support of Judge Hannah Dugan, arrested by the FBI. Monica Isham: “I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE & sent to a concentration camp without the due process the constitutions we swore to support require.”👏

Hey good news

A song I learned in the 4th grade went “illegal search and seizure is number 4. A warrant is needed to come in your door. It protects your home and your property. This amendment protects both you and me!” They’re trying to change the song.

BREAKING: In a sudden about-face, a DOJ attorney saiys ICE will be RESTORING the status of thousands of foreign students whose SEVIS records were terminated w/o notice earlier this month. The move comes amid mounting losses in courts around the country. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

The reality is that you don't need to go to El Salvador to see absolutely horrifying conditions in jails and prisons.

Sounds like it’s a mistake to leave public goods in the hands of billionaires who can decide at any moment they’re bored and don’t want to support them anymore bsky.app/profile/clar...

Maria works in Oxnard, CA, harvesting blackberries. She shares, "Some might think my job is easy, but it isn't. I get very tired moving my hands quickly all day long. But there is no choice. I need to make extra boxes to earn a little more money for my family." #WeFeedYou

I've shared Sahar's story with you before. Her son, a literal child, was shot in the foot with a quadcopter (do google these lovely inventions if you haven't yet). Odai needs surgery in order to be able to walk again. Please help if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

Canary Mission is a secretive pro-Israel group that's been running an employment blacklist for a decade. Now, they're taking credit for Trump's student deportations — and providing more names for him to target. www.vox.com/politics/410...

Everyone freaked out when dozens of trees were sawed in half in downtown, including Mayor Karen Bass, who said she was "making plans to quickly replace these damaged trees." But the next day she revealed a budget that took a chainsaw to the city's urban forestry department

The Israeli soldiers who killed Palestinian medics last month "fired continuously for three and a half minutes – even from point-blank range – reloading their ammunition multiple times, despite attempts by the aid workers to identify themselves." www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

🚨 URGENT: The FBI and other law enforcement agencies raided multiple homes in Michigan, reportedly targeting a number of student activists connected to Gaza solidarity protests at the University of Michigan mondoweiss.net/2025/04/fbi-...

Last night the Israeli military attacked a school and hospital in Gaza City, killing at least 10 Palestinians and burning one child alive in their sleep. 🧵

SCOOP — The US sent Iraqi refugee Omar Ameen to Rwanda via new diplomatic relationship in which they've agreed to act as a "third country" for deportees unable to be safely returned to their country of origin, per cables reviewed by me. This is first reported instance. Cable indicates more to come.

Just a reminder that people used to put paint and formaldehyde into milk and there had to be a huge movement to get proper food regulation, and without it people will die www.eater.com/2020/1/28/21...

All kinds of woke. And wonderful.

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Absolutely wild that this is being taken even a little bit seriously, by anyone. Unilateral police power to declare, at any time, that it is suddenly no longer legal for minors to be in a public place is not, just so we're clear, a "curfew." It'll definitely be a civil rights lawsuit tho!

I'm running for U.S. Senate. Because in the state that built the American Dream, it shouldn't be this hard to get by. Join me: abdulforsenate.com/go

NEW: i spoke with several young AmeriCorps volunteers around the country who were abruptly pulled off projects building homes, readying forests for wildfire season, and working at food banks Tuesday afternoon. they are now on their way home thanks to DOGE cuts —
