The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

we need to abolish this shit

ICE / Border Patrol threatening to arrest a cyclist for following and recording in Chicago

On Twitter, Sky News' account put quotation marks around the word 'dies'. It did not do so here though. Wonder why.

Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi has been executed by Israeli-backed militias in the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City.

The beloved Saleh Al-Jafarawi has been murdered. We are absolutely devastated. For 2 years he reported on the genocide of his people, just for him to be murdered during the ‘ceasefire’

A circulating video of slain Palestinian journalist Saleh Al-Jaafrawi, who was killed by Israeli-backed gangs this evening.

Absolutely horrible news - Saleh was killed today www.middleeasteye.net/news/saleh-a...

I didn’t want to believe it was true. Say his name: Saleh Al-Jafarawi. He had the most beautiful smile. He was not among the 270+ journalists killed prior to the latest ceasefire. He was ebullient that the bombing stopped. And now he’s been killed.

Do Zionists still think protesting outside a synagogue is antisemitic?

I fear that in the debate over protesting Harris we will lose the fact that the person most responsible for the genocide in Occupied Palestine is Joe Biden. The man is not an uwu smol bean grandpa. He attacked Anita Hill and helped put Clarence Thomas on SCOTUS.

Vice President Harris — who served under the Biden administration as it carried out a 14-month genocide and live-streamed slaughter of innocent men, women and children — shouted down protestors interrupting her book tour. Video below ⬇️

Bringing this back. I also want to add one more thing: the people with the most privilege should take the most risk.

while it's fun to exaggerate and tell fibs on the computer, being 30 and being 36 is basically the same

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Holocide

I see the LadySafety Carer Abouter is promoting Nick Cohen, who had to leave the Observer after a years-long series of harassment and gro-*all the editors of the entire British press run in and slam a big red button, releasing the trapdoor and dropping me into an oubliette*

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Everyone's like "they'll just replace Charlie Kirk / Jordan Peterson / Dennis Prager and the machine won't miss a beat" but I haven't seen that happen yet. What if it dies with them? I think the propaganda renaissance is nearly over. Its purpose was served on election day

I agree it’s totally unAmerican (unrelated photo from 2014 in Ferguson)

Beyond the candidates, the entire party reaffirmed and accelerated the framing that republicans gave for the border war. The democrats have been collaborators in justifying the current reign of terror and this is a massive liability in counter messaging now.

I don't want to be a pessimist here but if we are actually serious about this, it would require a deep confrontation with the fact that Biden just aggressively used ICE for four years, then Kamala Harris campaigned on expanding ICE funding while a bunch of Dems voted for a bill that doubled ICE $$

Also, for the same reason: NEVER sign up for or RSVP to a protest. I don't care who is running it. Don't do it. NEVER bring your phone to a protest or action and if you absolutely must, disable all location services and biometrics.

You know, if the Democrats were actually doing a good job of fighting back, I might at least emotionally understand why people are like “don’t criticize their historical complicity” but also they’re a fucking dumpster fire right now

Kind of feels like feds occupying our city for a month, killing one person and shooting another while attacking neighborhoods with chemical weapons and kidnapping hundreds of people already counts as a civil war whether the Guard arrives or not, but what do we know?

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

This is simultaneously not an especially radical theological belief and, politically speaking (especially in the U.S. context), quite a thing for Pope Leo to say. www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/266859/...

*Sees the most Catholic person in the world doing the most Catholic thing there imaginable*: goddamn Pagans!

Here to say that since the ICE crackdown, we've seen fewer immigrants in the hospital and have had them leave, even critically ill ones who would die without treatment, due to the fear of being detained and deported.

Yes of course I agree that millions of people could have voted differently or voted at all but also one single person could have vocally denounced genocide. There were multiple paths to victory.

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

Ummmmm guys I really think we need to think long and hard before abolishing the Schutzstaffel. Look, OK yes, sure, absolutely, there are SOME bad eggs. But, on the other hand, erm, have you considered that this is actually exactly like uhhhhhhhhh....USAID?

If you’ve got an extra screen that isn’t doing anything right now, throw on the Sumud flotilla livestream and play it in the background. The more eyes on it the better, even if only passively.

the thing is it doesn't matter what you do, because what they say you do becomes the reality. it doesn't matter how politely and calmly you voice your disagreement. It will count as terrorism. Their violence is speech, and your speech is violence. There's no such thing as well behaved enough.

There’s no satisfaction in “I told you so” these days. The words taste like poison as they leave my lips. And to make matters worse, many of the people who fought us along the way are convinced they’ve been saying the same thing this whole time. Even you who’s reading this post now aren’t exempt.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

ADL *AGAIN* bends over backwards for Nazis, erasing a resource and database to appease antisemitic scum:

This...out them all

Update on this: The City of Evanston isn't waiting for Flock to take the cams down, and staff have covered them up with bags and tape. Writing up a quick story to post before I go do (another!) citywide site visit to confirm all are covered (Picture taken yesterday by @joergmetzner.bsky.social)

A political party that was serious about defeating fascism, strengthening real democracy, pursuing justice and promoting the common welfare could do a whole host of effective things before sending us each 7000 texts a day asking for more money. But that’s what they think their job is!

You can either represent the will of the working class or the will of AIPAC and your Corporate Donors…. not both. Those Dems who can articulate that, like Mamdani, can easily primary the Centrist Corporate Dems. Go full, double-barreled Roosevelt. Trustbusting & Social Programs

governor threatens teenagers

The plan? Take millions of dollars in bribes from Gaddafi, then launch an international coalition to overthrow your creditor.

The amount of cope and denial from libs in the replies is amazing, this is exactly what happens when you refuse to offer people an alternative to fascism, instead offering them "polite fascism", they pick the more confident overt fascists

Brother we live in a police state take this bullshit back to 2024

The Spanish Navy said Wednesday it is sending the warship Furor to protect the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla after activists said drones had attacked their boats near Greece. This comes after Italy earlier committed to sending navy vessels to escort the flotilla.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️
