This is what democracy looks like! A people united will never be defeated. We want federal forces out of DC NOW! #WeAreAllDC #FreeDC

It’s all so stupid and evil, developed by the worst people for the worst reasons.

If you can't come up with a winning message about how the power mad dunce emperor marching federal troops into peaceful cities is bad, you should not have a job in politics

The prolonged public torturing of a single man because the state cannot admit to its errors is not something that occurs in a free country

The explicit plan is to ethnically cleanse Gaza with US help while the whole world watches.

we have an elite impunity problem (globally, but the US is certainly no exception) and nothing will get better until we deal with this

Today, the World Food Programme stockpiles inside Gaza finally ran out, 54 days after the Israeli military banned aid supplies to the area. Unless Israel’s blockade is ended or broken, civilians in Gaza will eventually start dying of starvation in large numbers. www.wfp.org/news/wfp-run...

Today marks one month since US greencard holder Mahmoud Khalil was ripped apart from his US citizen pregnant wife, forcibly disappeared, and taken into ICE custody thousands of miles away, all for exercising his constitutionally-protected rights. #FreeMahmoudKhalil

Video obtained by my colleague Farnaz Fassihi shows how the IDF deliberately attacked, over several minutes, a convoy of ambulances and other emergency vehicles in #Gaza. #Israel wrongly claimed that the vehicles drove without emergency signals and headlights. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

And the mid/long term plan is to expel Palestinians from Gaza, occupy it permanently and settle there. The Trump "plan" created a tangible horizon of ethnic cleansing and the Israeli right wing is moving towards that horizon, even if actual expulsion may take years. 2/2

Statehood for DC on demand and without apology

One of the disturbing reactions to the Mahmoud Khalil arrest is people making things up that he did to justify it that even the Trump admin doesn't claim he did. People just see him as the *type* of person who did the things they're mad about, so punishing him for it is acceptable. Lynching logic.

If organs of state security and demagogues and mob leaders are acting in concert to crack down on dissent it is unequivocally fascist. I don’t mean this to be a polemic: it's the only appropriate term from political science and theory for this practice. www.unpopularfront.news/p/the-abduct...

Anyway, we can't go on like this. Culture has to rescued from the fascists, the tech bros, all who want to drown us in profitable slop. A country in touch with the best humanity has created, where people can make a living broadening and adding to that canon. This is the America I want.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

A U.S. greencard holder of Palestinian origin, active in Columbia's student encampment, was arrested by ICE yesterday from his home, separated from his 8-month pregnant wife, told his greencard would be revoked, and taken into custody. America today. apnews.com/article/colu...

Israel is resuming its illegal Gaza siege. Israel and Hamas agreed to a 3 phase framework in the final days of the Biden administration. Israel alone is refusing to move to phase 2 of that agreed framework (release of all remaining hostages and ending the war). www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

President Trump’s comments tonight suggesting a US Gaza takeover are a call for a crime against humanity & should be unequivocally rejected & condemned by world leaders & American lawmakers regardless of party. Statement from @nancyokail.bsky.social ↘️

🧵 THREAD: Our reporter spent the past year reporting inside the State Department, trying to answer the central question of Biden’s foreign policy: How did the U.S. let Israel get away with widespread horrors in Gaza?

This reporting is so utterly damning. www.propublica.org/article/bide...

Once again, the IDF announced its intention to reduce Gaza to a “city of tents” after October 7th. The Biden administration could have responded: “nope, no U.S. weapons for that.” Instead, this: www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

This reporting was over a year in the making. Our investigation into how Israel weakened its own internal rules on killing civilians in Gaza, to allow for one of the deadliest bombardments in the 21sr century: www.nytimes.com/2024/12/26/w...

I'm not a legal expert, but it seems to me that Israel is clearly carrying out the forced displacement of civilians from northern Gaza (in accordance with the "General's Plan"), which is a war crime and a crime against humanity: wapo.st/4gQi0Yt
