this is america

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

in an ideal world the trauma this couple went through *shouldnt* resonate stronger than a latino family terrorized by ice. but we dont live in that world. we live in the real world. so i applaud it when the most minnesota people possible link arms with us and FIGHT like this.

This Holocaust Remembrance Day remember that Jews died because of anti immigrant American policies. Remember it started because Jews & Romani were othered as “not German.” Remember that it began by blaming an other for economic problems. Never Again means Never Again for everyone

The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

some kid on my flight is reading shelby foote's civil war book and i want to tell him to throw that shit in the trash

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Nehls: I would like to quickly address the police officers from January 6th. And I can tell you that the fault does not lie with Donald Trump. It lies with the US capitol leadership team. Fanone: *Coughs: Go fuck yourself*

The 'Israelis' know they're committing genocide.

TNR reports that ICE isn't paying its bills to health care providers and is DENYING CARE to detainees. Tracks with what we hear from visitors to Delaney Hall in Newark who often emerge saying people w/ diabetes, heart conditions etc are NOT getting needed treatment. newrepublic.com/post/205458/...

STARS & STRIPES: “Israeli forces on Wednesday killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza, including two 13yo boys, 3 journalists and a woman— one of the war-battered enclave’s deadliest days since the ceasefire…” Some ceasefire. www.stripes.com/theaters/mid...

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

"Journalist Abd el-Rauf Shaat was killed alongside his colleagues Anas Ghoneim and Mohammed Qishta when an Israeli airstrike targeted their vehicle while they were on duty in Gaza today. The ceasefire is a lie. "( @wearthepeace.bsky.social ) #Gaza #Genocide

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Q: Did you invite Putin to be on the Board of Peace? TRUMP: Yeah. He's been invited Q: Thoughts on Macron saying he won't join? TRUMP: Did he say that? Nobody wants him bc he's going to be out of office very soon. If they feel hostile, I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines & champagnes & he'll join

On ne doute bien sûr pas que le ministre Philippe Baptiste sera aussi prompt à ouvrir une enquête sur l'indépendance de ces trois chercheurs qu'il l'a été à protester contre la tenue d'un colloque scientifique sur la Palestine au Collège de France. (Via @mediapart.fr.)

If you won't acknowledge the most documented genocide in our lifetime there's no way you're going to fight fascism

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Debates continue to circulate—as they should—about the utility of neoliberalism as a category of analysis and political practice. Myself + three other historians wrote a brief overview of how it works in our field for the Royal Historical Society @royalhistsoc.org www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Gen X is at +5 support for ICE while millennials are at -25. Is this at all related to the United States banning lead paint in houses in 1978?

Biden, Harris, and almost the entire Dem party including its so-called “progressive wing”, were so committed to the Zionist settler colony that they rather give the election away than ooppose its war crimes and humans rights abuses share.google/O0sIQCr7hXOS...

1. On this website and others, you will see the most far-left Iranians — people who have spent much of the last two years dedicated to the Palestinian cause — pushing back on those who suggest that the protests in Iran are an organized plot by the CIA or Mossad to start a war.

WSJ identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles since July, leaving 8 people shot with two confirmed dead. Only one civilian was armed—with a concealed weapon. This is happening so frequently that it appears to be an authorized tactic—

Suspect arrested in predawn fire that left parts of Mississippi’s largest synagogue in charred ruins. A fire heavily damaged Jackson’s only synagogue before dawn Saturday—the same house of worship that was firebombed by the KKK in 1967 because the rabbi had been an advocate for civil rights.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Israel continues to kill people in Gaza, despite the “ceasefire”:
