Birds of a feather flock together: A 17-year long European resident of Israel, who is married to an Israeli Jewish citizen and is the mother three Israeli Jewish children, was deported by Israel because she works for UNRW, which is now a proscribed organization under Israeli law.

Canadians whining that Americans are gonna steal the land that they stole from the Natives, unable to see the irony of this during a election that has dropped "reconciliation" as a thing foundational to Canada's claims to sovereignty, the very thing protecting it from America doing a doublestealsy

When people break the law, and their actions are righteous and appropriate, we should applaud them. When people abide by or enforce the law, and their actions are repugnant, we should condemn them. We should never pretend the law is a moral dividing line.

Hamdan really needs help

They deported a two-year-old citizen. They arrested a judge on bullshit charges. They abducted Mahmoud Khalil with no warrant. We have to realize right now that while the law is a tool, it won’t save us. Fascists deal in power, and we need a lot more power. www.jphilll.com/p/they-depor...

Disabled people are worthy of the same rights as anyone else. Yes, even those who can’t work or pay taxes. All disabled people matter!

Me and my little siblings just want to finish our education. It was our parents’ dream to see us grow into educated ppl who give back to their community. But since this genocide began, everything's been so hard. Pls, don’t let that dream fade away. READ MY STORY🙏🇵🇸 chuffed.org/project/layl...

Gaza's healthcare system is teetering on the edge as relentless Israeli airstrikes continue to pound hospitals and its equipment. Among the gravest threats is the shutdown of life-saving operating rooms in high-risk specialties like heart, brain, and bone surgery. 1/2👇🏻 #Gaza

THREAD: Gaza is being starved. By Israel. The UN World Food Programme just delivered its last food supplies to Gaza. Gaza is out of food. Because Israel has sealed the borders for more than 7 weeks.

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

how is this not a national news story that the president governing via EO has no idea what any of the EOs are about till 3 seconds before he signs them

you can explain all of them with it? Trump is a feudalist. He truly believes a select few should rule with impunity and absolute power over their lessers. So do the billionaires who support him. What we have here is a bunch of untitled wannabe rulers trying to speedrun establishing a feudal state

They're arresting judges, now.

Almost two decades since Cindy Blackstock and the Assembly of First Nations took the federal government to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal for knowingly underfunding services for 165,000 status First Nations children and youth, Blackstock says kids are still going without needed health supports.

What, you're surprised? You didn't expect this? Because he's been both showing and telling y'all what he was going to do, and here we fucking are. Some of us warned everyone YEARS ago. We were told to sit down and shut up, because "none of it could ever happen."

He needs a win and he knows that fucking over Black and Indigenous people ( because yess the covers Indigenous folks and @ajijaakwe.bsky.social help me sing) is something you WILL NOT SUSTAINABLY fight why would he not go back to that well

MLK was standing on a balcony wearing a suit. Emmett Til was dragged from his house in pjs Sandra Bland was heading to her new job when she got pulled over Ahmaud Arbery was going for a jog… Nobody had guns, nobody was “dressed like a gangster” Please, shut the fuck up forever.

It ALSO steals Indigenous peoples' private personal info AGAIN, and if you will not acknowledge that very particular [and here prioritized] harm, you shouldn't be speaking on it. Stop erasing us.
