this is just a masterclass in why you shouldn’t believe news outlets reporting on police violence. just literally ignoring the most clear video evidence you could ask for. the only thing missing is the guy yelling “shooting specifically that woman now.”

Keir Starmer and David Lammy must speak and condemn this interception. All humanitarian aid must be able to reach people desperately in need. The UK govt have been active participants in the genocide. The eyes of the world must be on Gaza. Release the Madleen crew.

Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home. Free Mahmoud.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Really poignant piece of street art from artist TopZ out of Seattle!

Mahmoud Khalil, Trapped in "Immigration Gulag" for Nearly 3 Months, Challenges Deportation Efforts

MERZ: Tomorrow is the D Day anniversary, when the Americans ended a war in Europe TRUMP: That was not a pleasant day for you? This is not a great day MERZ: This was the liberation of my country from Nazi dictatorship

As Gaza faces over three months of Israeli blockade, a group of 12 activists is sailing to Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid. The mission includes the renowned Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who spoke with Democracy Now! live from the Madleen.

"We have to do everything we can to demand an end to these atrocities and war crimes committed by Israel," says Greta Thunberg, speaking from the Mediterranean Sea. She and other activists are sailing to Gaza to deliver badly needed humanitarian aid being blocked by Israel.

When the penny finally drops at just how much beauty & wonder we’re exterminating to serve a psychopathic economic system, who & what will be left to hear it?

Needs more press: -227 kids have died from influenza so far this flu season -90% unvaccinated -kids flu vax rates have dropped from 64% to 49% in past 5 years Kids are dying from anti-vax nonsense and very few are reporting it. mailchi.mp/messages/pan... Thank you: @jennifernuzzo.bsky.social

The damage that the Trump administration is doing to higher education is "absolutely beyond the pale," says historian Ellen Schrecker. www.democracynow.org/2025/5/30/mc...

I am so proud to receive the #1 endorsment of @thenation.com. “Mamdani’s disciplined focus on cost-of-living issues demonstrates a commitment to making New York a city that all its residents can thrive in, afford, and even enjoy.”

The Trump administration is expanding its assault on foreign students, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying the government will revoke visas for many Chinese students. @jameeljaffer.bsky.social from @knightcolumbia.org warns it will do "irreparable" harm to U.S. international standing.

Update: reports today that multiple legal observers were arrested today in New York at two separate immigration courts, for allegedly “obstructing” ICE. Not only that, apparently some immigration courts are barring the public from attending hearings. This mess is escalating fast.

Stop what you’re doing and watch this immediately. Canadian doctors returned from Gaza and are sharing what they witnessed and lived. They are demanding action from Mark Carney. Their testimony is our failure.

Good morning, NYC. We have some very exciting news to share.

Based Bill Burr giving the most based take

My campaign office unfortunately has to hire security as an individual is regularly vandalizing it. This is in addition to a Republican calling our office the “Home of Hezbollah”. Security is an unplanned expense but we want this to be a safe place. If you’re able, help us offset the costs below ⬇️

House Republican Randy Fine has called for Gaza to be “nuked” akin to the U.S. bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and said that “Palestinianism” is “evil” in genocidal remarks following the shooting of two Israeli embassy workers on Wednesday.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

BREAKING: Microsoft Bans the Word “Palestine” in Internal Emails Story for @dropsitenews.com by @worqas.bsky.social and @mazmhussain.bsky.social

They’ve charged Mo Chara from kneecap with terrorist offences. Fuck that. Solidarity with Mo Chara and Kneecap. Calling out a genocide is a moral duty. Fuck any law or cunts says otherwise. #kneecap #speirgorm

It is unconscionable and immoral for the world to allow this horror to take place.  2.2 million people are trapped with no food, water, aid, medicine, and baby formula.  This genocide must end and we must stop being complicit in the mass slaughter of babies and civilians.

Absolutely insane filing. The Trump government is arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because it was part of the lawsuit against the transgender military ban. We are just STEPS away from Russia-style designating LGBTQ+ orgs "extremist and terrorist organizations"

Tens of thousands of protesters wearing red staged a march in the Netherlands to demand an end to the government’s support for Israel. Al Jazeera’s Step Vaessen was there.

Dr. Noor Abdalla, the wife of jailed Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, accepted a diploma on Khalil's behalf during an alternative graduation ceremony held in New York City by the People's University for Palestine.

BREAKING: Al-Awda Hospital has been attacked within its perimeter. Repeated strikes targeting nearby homes have reportedly caused damage to hospital facilities, medical sources tell Drop Site. One child was reportedly killed and four people injured.

In New York City today, marchers carried a tribute to Hossam Shabat.

I recently co-authored & circulated (with @alasianuti.bsky.social ) an open letter against Starmer’s anti-immigrant rules & rhetoric. Over 100 of my UK-based political academics & writers signed it. Read the whole thing here: www.politicalphilosophypodcast.com/starmer

We’ve busted past 431 ppm. The last time CO2 levels were consistently this high was 14,000,000 years ago, when your ancestor was also the ancestor of all chimpanzees, gorillas & orangutans. These are not normal times, & carrying on as normal is the single worst thing we can do.

If watching library workers resist leads you to expect us to save you, you're taking away the wrong message. You should be viewing this as a clear indicator that YOU can and should stand up and push back, too. We need help, not acclaim.

BREAKING: Axios, citing three sources, reports that Israel was targeting Mohammed Sinwar, head of Hamas’s military wing, in the airstrikes that “targeted a bunker underneath” Gaza European Hospital. The outcome of the strikes reportedly “remains unclear.”

Sacred Apache lands are set to be ravaged in the name of “green” energy, economic independence, or whatever the White House proclaims to be its latest justification. In truth, Oak Flat is on the verge of being destroyed for profit, and profit alone.

"“Your agency will be broke by July, over two months before the end of the fiscal year” - Sen. Chris Murphy ICE's parent agency is running out of funds. Any delay - say, by organized parents - that costs them man hours helps drive them into political crisis. news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

The new documentary “Who Killed Shireen?” by @zeteo.com identifies an Israeli soldier as the sniper who killed Palestinian American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. "If you are a journalist operating in the West Bank now, you have to assume that the Israeli military could target you."
