The words are kidnapping and slavery.

Palestinian journalist Abubaker Abed reports live from the Gaza Strip, where "the corpses of people are now piled up at the morgues, at the hospitals" after Israel's abrupt resumption of attacks on Palestinian civilians.

Israel killed 412 Palestinians in 12 hours. If this isn’t genocide, then genocide as a concept doesn’t exist

Last night, the Israeli military carpet-bombed Gaza, killing at least 404 people, including many children, and injuring over 562 in its renewed attacks in one of the deadliest single-day tolls since the start of the Israeli military's 15-month-long genocide against Palestinians.

israel is committing genocide against palestine and the foundation of the united states is being torn apart to punish the people who think this is bad.

My latest piece @thenation.com is how perilous it is for us Jews to swallow the lie that a criminal regime of antisemites is really “fighting antisemitism”. The reality? Trump has ordered a hit on Judaism. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Israel justifies killing civilians by saying that they are basically *rists who haven't been caught yet or they might be harbouring *rists or give birth to one or grow up to be one or some such bullshit US been saying this about whoever it targets since before there was a US and they still at it

"Whether through Casspirs or the Cybertruck, apartheid’s militarized, cultural, and psychological legacy roams our streets."

To our community and labor movement partners: CWA 7901 is an affiliate of the NW Oregon Labor Council (NOLC), but we *do not* support the letter NOLC sent (linked below) in opposition to @councilorkanal.bsky.social's resolution clarifying "bias" for purposes of the Community Police Oversight Board.

We repeat: neither courts nor laws will halt the descent into autocracy. It won't help simply to identify the ways that the Trump regime is violating precedent, procedure, ethics, or common sense. The only question is how to push back. Where are the pressure points? crimethinc.com/becomeananar...

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

DESPITE. COURT. RULING. This is a pattern.

Marisa is not being hyperbolic, Chuck’s answer on Columbia being stripped of grants is basically “well, they might have deserved it”

In an interview with The New York Times, Chuck Schumer seems to agree with Trump's decision to pull $400 million from Columbia over anti-war protests. He also shrugs off Mahmoud Khalil's arrest and threatened deportation, saying there are "rules" to protests. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/m...

A Hmong American woman who has lived in the Milwaukee area since she was 8 months old was deported last week to Laos, a country she has never visited, and says she is stranded in a rooming house surrounded by military guards. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

I’m so shaken by this.

They're trying to deport my colleague from the med school and holding her without counsel. She was coming back from a visit to her family. If there are ways to help I'll let you know. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/l...

I haven’t cried all week, but her asking him “habibi how will i call you?” in Arabic has me sobbing. Fuck every human who did this. Fuck them all.

A friend just sent - shared without comment 👀

fuck these fuckin' fascists

we are going to see more and more conspiracy and terrorism charges for protest activity of all kinds. and one of the parties we have to thank for that is Atlanta Democrats, who have mercilessly led the charge to cast stop cop city protestors as “domestic terrorists”

The arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is a warning that no dissenting voice is safe. His detention must be seen as part of a broader effort to suppress activism and silence resistance, demanding collective action in response.

Another Columbia student taken by ICE. Shame shame shame

Literally Germany in 1933

They're literally kidnapping dissidents. And these institutions are on about rule of law. It'll be law too when they put us all in camps (you know in addition to all the folks already imprisoned in this nation, immigrant and not).

NEW EMAIL FROM COLUMBIA ADMIN: DHS agents were in two university residences tonight — with two warrants "I am writing heartbroken to inform you that we had federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in two University residences tonight." No arrests made.

this is all extreme. I'm especially struck by the demand Columbia put the Middle East, South Asian and African Studies Department under receivership for at least 5 years

In protest of being required to ditch their guns while entering the Unity Center for Behavioral Health, Multnomah County sheriff’s deputies announced they would no longer provide security for judicial hearings at the Northeast Portland facility.

“If you do it to Tesla, you can do it to any company”💥FINALLY SOME GOOD ADVICE FROM THE PRESIDENT💥

Gov. Tina Kotek fired the longtime director of the Oregon Youth Authority as the agency came under scrutiny for a backlog of mishandled abuse reports.

Terrific and chilling work by @mauriziogro.bsky.social on Ice's expanding surveillance apparatus.

Mahmoud Khalil’s story, told in his own words, from an upcoming film:👇🏼
