Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

Zohran Mamdani becomes one of the first mayors in the US (and among a small handful of prominent US officials generally) to recognize the Nakba — the mass expulsion and forced displacement of 700,000+ Palestinians. Connected directly with a Nakba survivor:

I will have three affordable pieces for sale at art a whirl in the Alight room at the Quincy building . Fundraiser to support refugees in mn Here’s one of them . Underpriced, so go get it

You’ll ALL be happy to know that I can view my followers again. They reappeared shortly after I made a public post tagging Bluesky about the persistent problem. Maybe “They” did something to fix it. ????

How many deaths so far on this regime’s hands: USAID cuts Detention camp deaths DHS murders Iran, Lebanon, Gaza, Somalia Bombed boats CDC and NHS cuts Health care & medicaid cuts and changes = 1,000,000+ including many paid for by US taxpayers Also: My taxes went *way* up. Did yours?

Hello from Minneapolis.

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” ~ Pope Leo

Sen. Tina Smith plans marathon speech to oppose reopening mining near the Boundary Waters: “I am going to hold the Senate floor for hours to give them every opportunity to change their minds and do the right thing," Smith said.

Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget will take money from Medicaid,Medicare, childcare, and more.

Really excited to start Bluebird, Bluebird from Locke and the highway 59 books. New books to me and I can’t wait.

Congratulations, Hungary!

The Artemis II Mission was also a hopeful event because everyone was competent, everything was based in taking science forward and it wasn’t funded by a cartoon villain billionaire and we aren’t used to seeing that kind of national event from America anymore.

More villages in South Lebanon being detonated by Israel. Israel is the one sharing these videos. They are proud of their war crimes.

This is what it sounds like to live next to a data center

Today 27 shackled detainees were flown from Minnesota to Louisiana. Every ICE Air flight at MSP is observed by MN50501 volunteers - ICE hasn't stopped, neither have we. Data: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-msp/data/

Reminder that as a judge, Todd Barnette appointed many of the Charter Commissioners who are now trying to remove the Minneapolis City Council’s power to approve several department heads, an approval Barnette just failed to get as a department head.

WHY IS EVERYONE DRIVING SLOWLY AROUND S MINNEAPOLIS RIGHT NOW? Why?? It took us 45 minutes to go 6 miles

communications like this from angie craig now are gonna make it hard for her to have an anti party insiders and caucus & convention process narrative when she loses the DFL endorsement to peggy flanagan

how much money does the marine corps lose

At my first U of MN regents’ meeting since 1982. Here with Indivisible Education Action Committee & the Birddogs political action group’s Educational Freedom committee. A watchful presence, also working to connect with alumni who care about academic freedom and the impact of budget cuts

"The world witnessed what happened in Gaza. It’s happening again now. It’s planned, systematic and is happening in plain sight, while a US president threatens civilisational erasure and what’s left of the international order collapses." www.thenerve.news/p/lebanon-wa...

Last year, Dr. Ezequiel Véliz was named 2025 Resident of the Year at UT Health, Rio Grande Valley. Last week, ICE detained him in McAllen, Texas—ripping him away from his family, his life, and his patients.

Beware chatty white men at the Finnish Bistro

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

There is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that the people who make weapons and make billions off the deaths they cause find a reason every few years to "need to go to war and kill people" so they have to make more weapons. We are a very, very sick society.

The big winners in the Iran war: The U.S. "defense" industry and the politicians they keep in their pockets.

I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard. That bird's an asshole! 😂😂😂😂😂 Best with volume up.

Fantastic, glad to see your priorities are in the right place, Mr. Speaker, and I hope you’re enjoying your vacation while the President is threatening to kill an entire civilization.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

All of us are dissociated and dissociating to make it through today. I hope you give yourself and others grace.

How are you coping today?

I don't know if we can stop the terrible things that are happening. But I do know that we can commit ourselves as individuals and communities and societies to seek justice for as long as it takes.

There is something you can do about all of this — make your plans for May 1. This country needs a united show of power, energy, and hope. indivisible.org/events/may-d...

I am not sure people understand the degree to which foreign grad students (and especially Chinese ones) are propping up our universities.

You've already heard me talk about the importance of HCMC--to me, personally, to thousands of people who go there every year, to rural communities whose doctors & nurses & med staff have trained at HCMC. If this is important to you--sign on to the petition. Tell your story about why.

A nuclear armed United States is now an existential threat to the rest of the world

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

The man who watches Trump all day, every day. @atrupar.com spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences. He says it’s ‘pretty bleak’

These are only the deaths that have been made public. Imagine what we’re going to find when we investigate the camps once this regime loses power. Trump’s administration has innocent blood on their hands. ICE must be abolished, & its agents prosecuted so that this never happens again.

Rex nails it. Cancel the correspondents dinner.

"'If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day; if you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime,' but you have done neither. You have stood before us and eaten fish after fish, and chided us for our greed as you have done so.

In-flight WiFi is nice. Can’t wait to get home and paint signs for tomorrow morning’s Earlybirds rush hour protest.

The answer will surprise you!

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.
