Israel is ilegally stealing land in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and I guess Iraq if you count military bases. Am I missing any? www.dropsitenews.com/p/syria-isra...

there are no "real" new yorkers. "new york" was invented in 1624 by the dutch west india company to sell rice pudding to tourists

Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel won’t withdraw from occupied southern Lebanon (or for that matter Gaza or Syria), declaring that the Israeli army will instead expel its civilian population and bulldoze the border towns. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Cops violently arresting protesters from the Jewish Bloc for Palestine yesterday protesting the selling of Palestinian lands called “the Great Israeli Real Estate”. www.instagram.com/reel/DZkJCxm... There is only permissible way to be Jewish in the UK, and that is one who shuts up about Israel

Overheard from guy on stoop talking on phone: “i just think it would be really cool if: 20,000 angry rabid Knicks fans, secret service can’t hold them back…”

for reference and comparison: conservatively, the United States spent two-thirds of that figure in the *first week* of the war on Iran. it's genuinely difficult to overstate how many world-historical own goals US politics has accumulated over the past few decades

For generations, the federal government enforced civil rights laws with an eye toward remedying historic, systemic discrimination against Black people and other people of color.

NEW: An immigrant rights and advocacy group has filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seeking records related to the agency’s use of Palantir tools. 404 Media first revealed a tool called ELITE and its links to Palantir in January, based in part on a leaked user guide.

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

Tarsis was my roommate the first year i was in nyc, and for the last ten years has been financially supporting their dad after his deportation. He is having medical issues right now, and money is tight. Every bit of support makes a huge difference. gofund.me/16bec4c1d

"close Delaney Hall and free every person in there" is the demand, so direct that (in my experience) some people may miss it rather than accept it

We feel extremely emotional here at the Puss to have fellow travelers and that is why if you are a person with disposable income we are urging you to BASICALLY GIVE METONYMY ALL OF IT (ok or at least just like one Sustainer signup that sounds good too…) metonymypress.com/products/fri...

According to German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul "Israel has every right to be in Lebanon."' According to European Union's Kaja Kallas "Israel has a right to self-defense." According to EU what is bad when done by Russia in Ukraine is right when done by Israel. bsky.app/profile/ayou...

Louisiana is 33% Black and has six congressional districts. Yet in the past 149 years, they've just had 4 Black congressmen. All of whom are still alive. And that's too many for Louisiana's white Republican leaders.

Thinking about this part... "Before the second recess, all four of Louisiana’s Black congressmen, past and present, since the Reconstruction era spoke to the committee..."

It’s telling that Alabama took 14 years to implement Brown (you MUST desegregate) and < 14 days to implement Callais (you CAN eliminate Black districts if you call them Democratic, but you don’t HAVE to).
