Read this very carefully: *One quarter* of all the people who have died of starvation in Gaza over the past 22 months have died in the past *3* days.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

the single image every genuinely freedom-loving american has been waiting for

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

CNN: “Israel has intercepted a Gaza-bound aid ship carrying Greta Thunberg and other prominent activists, detaining those onboard…” www.cnn.com/2025/06/08/m...

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

We are at that horrifying moment when the word genocide is no longer adequate to describe what the Israeli Govt is doing to Palestinians. When we look at the textbook definition of holocaust, it seems undeniable that what we are witnessing is in fact a holocaust. www.qasimrashid.com/p/holocaust

Today, our client Rümeysa Öztürk was released on bail from ICE detention in Louisiana, and she will return to New England to continue her studies. 📸 Giancarlo D’Agostaro

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races. And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards. I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Don't tell me Mahmoud Khalil standing with Jewish people for justice for Palestine is antisemitic when you pardoned the Nazi terrorist wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" shirt as he violently stormed the Capitol to hang Mike Pence & kill Nancy Pelosi. Shame on the MAGA regime & every silent politician.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

WATCH: “And they haven’t gotten a single permit.” Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social says Elon Musk’s XAI supercomputer is operating 35 gas turbines in MEMPHIS without a permit — asks folks to speak up and show up for an environmental town hall Saturday. www.instagram.com/reel/DIPomGj...

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

Today the Netanyahu regime once again unilaterally broke the ceasefire, bombed Gaza, and killed at least 112 more Palestinian civilians with the majority being women and children. And in response the US Senate voted 85-15 to send Netanyahu more bombs to drop on Palestinians. This is genocide.

"So I confess that I have been imperfect, I confess that I have been inadequate to the moment, I confess that the Democratic Party has made *terrible* mistakes that have given lane to this demagogue." - @corybooker.com More of this, honestly, please. Acknowledge it. Please.

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

“If you want to make sure I stay okay, maybe you could ask the Israelis not to bomb Nasser Hospital again?” Dr. @ferozesidhwa.bsky.social was surprised at the US Embassy’s response after surviving a bombing in a Gaza hospital.

LA Times argues green card holders do not get Constitutional rights because they aren't citizens This is the same fascist logic used to lock up Japanese Americans, deny Jewish refugees, & commit genocide against Black & Indigenous peoples. I debunk with receipts www.qasimrashid.com/p/debunking-...

JUST NOW: Senator Marsha Blackburn (who wants to be our Governor) did a publicity stop at the V.A. hospital in NASHVILLE — so we asked if she supports Trump & Elon slashing thousands of V.A. jobs & services👇🏽 As they fire thousands of veteran federal workers Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DHTtJnH...

NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest “Stop resisting” “He’s not resisting” Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions

New — Rashida Tlaib, Mark Pocan, Nydia Velázquez, Delia Ramirez, Ilhan Omar, Jasmine Crockett, Summer Lee, Ayanna Pressley, Lateefah Simon, Al Green, Gwen Moore, André Carson, Nikema Williams, and James McGovern call on the Trump administration to release Mahmoud Khalil:

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.

I wrote about the biggest rap performance of all time, Kendrick’s positioning of anti-Drake-ness as part of a larger pro-Blackness and justice for Serena Williams andscape.com/features/gen...

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal. Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.

Teachers buy school supplies for their students, pay for their meals, protect them from school shootings, & now protect them from ICE raids Meanwhile SCOTUS says police have no duty to protect our kids from school shootings & instead allows police raids of our schools to abduct our kids Horrific😓

Brave yourselves for more of the like.
