Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Dana Nessel is a Democrat. The governor of #Michigan is a Democrat. They are working hand in glove with Trump to raid the homes of organizers fighting against the ongoing war and genocide in #Palestine. "The TAHRIR Coalition...alleges the raid is targeting protesters who support Palestine..."

an entire people is being deliberately starved to death

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

“There is an atmosphere of impunity in Gaza.” Israeli political analyst Akiva Eldar says Israel’s killing of the Palestinian paramedics points to an “atmosphere of impunity” for human rights abuses in Gaza. 🔴 Read analysis: aje.io/57mkmq

"Need the World to Pay Attention": Sudan Faces World's Worst Displacement Crisis After 2 Years of War

I hope people realize just how dire this situation is Literally, no one in the country is safe if the government can whisk anyone away without due process or evidence of crimes Our grandparents didn’t fight in WWII for this country to become the Fourth Reich

if you think this violates the law (and it very clearly does imo), you don't seek an injunction, you seek an indictment, given that the law makes it a class 1 felony. cowardice from the AG, cowardice from the courts, nobody wants the responsibility of actually enforcing the law. cowards all around

One of the defining feelings in American life, for decades now, is elites doing plainly criminal shit and nothing at all happening as a result. It is deranging in a way that virtually nothing else is. Media fixates on perceived street lawlessness but shit like this matters much more in my opinion.

One of the reasons the liberal establishment abandoned MeToo—and joined + solidified the backlash against it, leading to the refusal to call out egregious sexual violence on the right—is because sexual violence doesn’t discriminate by party. There are abusers anywhere there’s power

After another delegate assaulted me at the DNC, I co-led a movement to hold Dem electeds accountable for sexual assault. Party leaders started a whisper campaign questioning my sanity. Orgs stopped donating to the nonprofit I led. Ultimately we got hit with a SLAPP suit that muzzled me for years.

One thing to think about the next time you vote in a senatorial/congressional election: if you're kidnapped because you wrote an essay expressing the "wrong" political views, will this candidate lift a finger to help?

an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law an executive order is not a law

People disappeared off the streets Trans people fighting to keep basic civil rights Disabled people facing mask bans, healthcare & social security cuts Tourists from Germany, UK & Canada imprisoned This is a powerful moment for intersectionality. There’s more of us than there are of them.

just profoundly disturbed by the kidnapping and disappearing of people right off the streets of this country. hard to think about much else—and there’s so much else.

Generative AI is stupid and if you think it can ever replace all of the love, creativity, and humanity that goes into crafting a work of art - be it visual, written, or performance - then you're stupid, too. And hey, if it ever does become sentient? Then it doesn't deserve to be exploited, either.

The biggest problem with putting plans for bombing Yemen in a group chat is that THE UNITED STATES HAS BOMBED YEMEN ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED TIMES SINCE 2002, NOT INCLUDING THE ILLEGAL CLUSTER MUNITIONS AND OTHER WEAPONS WE GAVE THE SAUDIS TO ALSO USE TO BOMB YEMEN. WE SHOULD STOP BOMBING YEMEN.

This was Hossam's last post on Instagram. Demanding accountability for Israel's attacks.

Remember when we were all gaslit the first time they bombed a hospital? Now they’re at it all the time and there’s silence from many of our governments.

Think it’s important to highlight how everyday violence of the U.S. criminal legal system is making what ICE is doing possible: this man was convicted of a crime at *16*; he was *pardoned*; when ICE came decades later they claimed the conviction made him a felon w/ no recourse against deportation

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things: you don't get to talk about it. you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story. it's *always* shut the fuck up friday

These attacks on protest and freedoms cannot be fought in isolation or in movement silos. We need broad, brave coalition. Climate, Palestine, labor, migrant, trans and reproductive rights; academic freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of association ... Together we are mighty. Divided we fall.

Good morning! A beautiful day to remember generative AI sucks.

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again: if I don’t speak up about every single topic and bad news event, it doesn’t mean I don’t care. I care deeply and it’s just overwhelming with so much happening. I’m quietly helping others however I can. Many people are too, so give folks a break.

Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children. He's a eugenicist. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING: In a landslide vote, Harvard Law student body passes divestment referendum, overcoming administration attempts to prevent and delegitimize the vote. Harvard Law students overwhelmingly vote for Justice for Palestine and divestment from Netanyahu’s regime. This is historic.

The double meaning of “DEI” makes it easy to claim theyre removing references to abstract ideological-sounding thing -“diversity equity and inclusion” - & media will repeat this uncritically when they’re actually removing references to anything that suggests anyone other than white men are important

A swarm of cops dragging away a rabbi protesting the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil says everything you need to know about the Trump agenda. Trump doesn't care about Jewish safety - he's focused on taking away our right to protest. Not in our name.

NEW: Late last night, DHS came to Columbia with 2 warrants & searched student residences. Hours before: Trump admin tells school that to *maybe* get funding back, it’ll have to address “anti-Zionist” discrimination & expel students for Hind’s Hall protest (which Columbia did do yesterday).

Five years ago, Breonna Taylor was murdered. She should still be alive. We will not forget. #SayHerName

also a demonstration of how over-caution can easily become dangerous. sometimes the less risky move is the bold and aggressive one. milling around like a lost sheep when a knife-wielding maniac is charging at you is not averting risk

Can’t stop thinking about all the people who’ve lost their jobs. Losing your job in this country, it’s like annihilation—not least because it usually means losing health care, too. And for so many people, their entire sector has been eviscerated. I wouldn’t be able to feed my kids. It’s terrifying.

PIGS 🐽 AREN'T 🐽 KOSHER 🐽

genuinely baffling how many Dems continue to behave as if anyone in this administration will follow the law in any capacity look at fucking Rubio, you’re all going to be making public mea culpas on this vote within a week save yourselves the trouble and vote no on every single thing

something to bear in mind: the us gov't is no stranger to disappearing citizens, esp protestors. they just usually don't brag about it so brazenly. thinking of DeAndre Joshua, Darren Seals, MarShawn McCarrel, Edward Crawford Jr, & Danye Jones today. don't forget them. & don't forgive their deaths.
