We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

Every elected Democrat - not just in California but nationwide - should be on TV and radio today telling this story to the American people and condemning Trump’s DHS agents for trying to round up first graders in elementary school.

@melissagiragrant.com on LA: "It’s nearly impossible to figure out what compliance is supposed to look like when police are launching weapons of war on the public. In such a gross imbalance of power, the police are the ones really drawing the lines."

In 2020, Trump wanted to use lethal force on protesters. Defense Secretary Mark Esper stopped him. Now, as Los Angeles rises up against ICE, Pete Hegseth leads the Pentagon. This is the scenario many warned about: a president surrounded by yes-men, with no one left to offer restraint.

Is any journalist going to mention that when Dutton talks about "young Australians" he never mentions education. Ever. The man has no vision for an intelligent, engaged, educated Australia. He appeals to anger, fear, division and ignorance. #auspol #AusVotes25 #education

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.
