Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

Please share & give to help Khalil's family survive Israel's genocide in Gaza. They're being starved, attacked, & displaced, & donations are slow:

this is a fantastic ruling but it's deeply depressing that the clearest-eyed condemnation of this administration's actions has come from the judges tasked with ruling on their legality and not the press ostensibly tasked with speaking truth to power

‏The aid trap has now killed it by bombing 50 martyrs in a batch of one! 50 civilian people are hungry, but they take a bag of flour and go to his family! Hunger is a crime and killing the hungry after being lured for help, the worst thing that can happen to inhuman humanity

Please share & give to help Nour's family, including her little daughter Julia & son Ziad who are sick & need urgent treatment, survive Israel's genocide in Gaza. They're being starved, attacked, & displaced:

Medical sources at Nasser Hospital report that more than 50 people were killed and 200 others wounded in a brutal massacre by Israeli occupation forces, who targeted civilians waiting for aid in eastern Khan Younis, southern Gaza, earlier this morning.

In Gaza, a bag of flour costs 1700 shekels not for being fancy, but because it’s as rare as the safety we once had. It’s a symbol of our struggle for bread, now more precious than our blood and tears. The pain is more than hunger it’s losing life, dignity,and the simplest things. gofund.me/b948b360

For people with darker skin injured at protests, and the lawyers representing them:

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

It's not "I suffered so you should too," it's "I suffered and no one else should ever have to."

Y'all I'm just tring to survive out here, and do what very little i can to help make a world that doesn't make me feel like fucking dying every single goddamn day. What in the actual fuck.

When Tim Walz became Kamala Harris's running mate, progressives highlighted policies passed. It could not have been possible without Melissa Hortman. -Free school breakfast and lunch -Restoring voting rights for felons -Paid leave Great piece by @gracepanetta.bsky.social 19thnews.org/2025/06/rep-...

Best image of the day:

"They’re all nice people, very nice." - said a friend of the suspected Minn shooter about him and his family this is how people generally react to being confronted with the fact that they know a fascist

scholar of partisan violence/Latin American Dirty Wars here: there is nothing to distinguish this from how people were taken in Argentina, Guatemala, Chile, etc, except that it's all on camera

NEW: A Biden-appointed judge sided with the Trump admin's last-minute argument to *DENY* Mahmoud Khalil's release. Trump admin argued he could be detained for a frivolous charge they gave him *after* his arrest. The judge agreed. Khalil will spend his first Father's Day away from his newborn boy.

For those keeping track, Israel is now attacking and/or occupying: - Iran - Lebanon - Syria - Yemen - And of course the Palestinian Territories It can do this bc it has nuclear weapons and carte blanche from both parties as the US’s proxy to kill whoever it likes and we’ll protect them

Kitchen said he wanted other Australians to be aware that “cleaning” their phones wouldn’t necessarily mean they would be able to get their Esta approved upon arrival in the US. “They had already prepared a file on me and already knew everything about me,” he said www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

I joined @mskellymhayes.bsky.social on Movement Memos this week to talk about the escalation against immigrants and detention expansion. We dig in on innocence frameworks and how they hurt rather than help our efforts for racial and migrant justice. Listen @truthout.org or wherever you get podcasts

I get this instinct but at the same time it was Obama’s “nuanced” approach of targeting immigrants w/ criminal records that skyrocketed deportations and reinforced the idea that immigration is a public safety issue (rather than about labor, family, and refuge) ultimately giving the right more fodder

Also recounted again the story to my dad of visiting the Athens Museum and stumbling across the Antikythera Mechanism. In hindsight, obvious it should be there but it ended up a delightful surprise for me.

Adham managed to get in touch with a few of us. He's okay, but didn't manage to find flour and saw some terrible things during the blackout. www.gofundme.com/f/adhammadi

Mohammed clearly is suffering a very poor connection, but he did manage to let me know that he and his family evacuated safely. Donations are very slow, though, and he's not sure how to get his kids fed. tinyurl.com/4yuyyun5

Taqwa has suffered an almost incomprehensible loss, all her kids except this one baby and extended family too. I'd love her to get some support. gofund.me/b4901a75

WHAT FOX WILL NEVER SHOW YOU!! The news won't show you this because they have a narrative to spin.

Vanished by @sadiahqureshi.bsky.social is such an exceptional book. It traces the history of how Western scientists have understood #extinction, and the political and social implications of that thinking, including on colonial fantasies of replacing Indigenous peoples. I can't recommend it enough! 👏

By yesterday, Israel had killed at least 277 aid seekers near food distribution sites run by US mercenaries in Gaza. Today reportedly another massacre. While many Western leaders are chanting support to Israel.

Are India’s urban battlefields built on this civilisational discomfort with people who are not like us? Is there a phobia about the stranger when it comes to co-habitation? Read Ajay Gudavarthy's column here: scroll.in/article/1083...

What’s wild about the current political use of “antisemitism” (as opposed to its actual instances) is it has nothing to do with Jewish people at all. So much so that an Italian sexual harasser can wield it against a Muslim who is endorsed by a Jewish candidate. It’s just all nonsense.

A friend just texted me from LA that this was happening at the park she was at

Yes, Denmark, follow me.

Many progressives are hesitant to support Gov. Newson because of his obvious, blatant political opportunism. When blatant political opportunism works in your favor, embrace it. Politicians are tools. Use them properly.

Wissam sent me this video of little Ahmed ❤️
