One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.

“So do you have to be evil when they recruit you or do they have some sort of a training program?” - my son to a friend applying to Palantir

Grabbed this pic off the National Defense Academy Graduates Against Genocide X account. First night clear. While it's not as cold as in some places, it is still cold... #NoGenocideDrones #No虐殺ドローン Please show up for the solidarity protest on Thursday.

The Sameer Project on UpScrolled: "If donations do not urgently resume and increase, we will be forced to reduce water purchasing and distribution even more than 50%. That means more than half the water is gone, half the access, and more families left thirsty." Donate! chuffed.org/project/help...

People in Gaza need everything you need every day—including a phone.

Yeah, I don’t think the same politicians who gave a standing ovation to Netanyahu during a live-streamed genocide are going to help you with your fascism problem.

I threaded more info including re: upcoming actions in Tokyo & Osaka under the reply here, and now I'm going to bed finally 🙌🏻 If you have a minute, www.japantimes.co.jp/contact-us/ Tell them to interview Hirayama-san. The petition was first submitted in July 2024! So many protests & now this...

The hunger strike against Israeli drones kicked off at the Ministry of Defense in Tokyo tonight. 160 people showed up for the protest. At the solidarity protest at the defense bureau in Osaka (pictured), we had about 27 people. #NoGenocideDrones #No虐殺ドローン

Milwaukee! This Wednesday, January 28th, at 5PM, I’ll be on the panel "Making Zines, Making Change: A Conversation about Collaborating, Publishing, Selling, and Archiving DIY Art." Lots more info in the Alt text. Hope to see you!

In addition to protests at the Ministry of Defense and the Kinki-Chubu Defense Bureau today (6:30-7:30 p.m.) there's also a protest at Kaigai Corporation (company repping the Israeli drones in the current round) in Nagoya from 5-6 (海外物産中部支店) @japantimes.co.jp

“The people are being charged with keeping the peace, asked to stand firm against the federal agents who are disrupting it. This is a sick form of double taxation — your paycheck gets docked so that a guy in a mask can beat you up while you try to calm him down.”

A little less than $6,000 left to raise! Can you chip in?

The hunger strike against the Ministry of Defense purchasing Israeli attack drones starts TODAY. If you're in Osaka, hope to see you at the Kinki-Chubu Defense Bureau. #NO虐殺ドローン

Please share widely. FANUC is in at least 35 countries. If you can’t do the 12th, do the 13th or 14th. Let’s shame FANUC from every corner of the globe till they commit to ending their complicity in Israel’s crimes. #StopFANUCNow

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

Oh, Yuko Ohnari and Koshiro Hata’s Downpour (tr. me) is in here 🥰👦🏻☔️🥳

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me” “There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen” These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

DC to ICE: Get out of our country.

It was so bitterly cold this morning that I couldn't take my fingers out of my gloves for more than 30 seconds without them burning. But I really wanted footage of MN residents shaming ICE/CBP agents to their faces. So I hit "record" with my chin and just aimed my phone at stuff. Like this.

Babies I've encountered in the train or wherever (i.e. we are strangers to each other) have smiled back at me despite an N95 covering most of my face :)

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

Another fact that people outside of MN might find hard to believe: I cannot participate in any kind of observation of ice activities because they will put me in a database, and follow me when I make deliveries of supplies to vulnerable people, so they can abduct them.

🚨 NYC Comptroller Mark Levine would like to resume financing the Israeli gov't and its war machine by buying Israeli bonds w/ NYC's $311B public pension funds, which he oversees, reversing a 2023 halt and moving forward despite Mayor Mamdani’s objections, the Financial Times reports.

Short thread Today in MN is a perfect example of why I ask y'all to subscribe to my human rights advocacy. Corporate media knew MN interfaith leaders were coordinating a historic protest with thousands of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus & non-believers working TOGETHER. And none showed up. 1/3

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

$18 million/week to terrorize people

one of the ugliest things I can imagine your job asking you to do is choose between either spectacularly violating your own moral code in a way that will haunt you forever, or walking away knowing they will just find someone else less principled who is actually thrilled to do the evil thing

genuinely stunning image

In Yokohama, you can get listed in a free career info booklet handed out to elementary schoolers even if you're a company that's complicit in genocide. IHI's all, "We're making the world more convenient with the power of technology!" They deliver F-35 engine parts to the US and >>

Found out that Antony Loewenstein (author of The Palestine Laboratory) will participate via video in the in-house meeting at the Members' Office Building of the House of Councillors being held Feb. 3 to tell the Japanese government (once again) not to buy genocide drones from Israel. #NO虐殺ドローン

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Spark Space is a VITAL mutual aid project that has provided uninterrupted electricity, internet, & shelter to the community—including for hundreds of kids taking school exams—for a year. This is their commitment. Let's meet it. Keep the lights on: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Just released this conversation I had with the queer Palestinian writer Tareq Baconi. We talk about his new book 'Fire in Every Direction', and share experiences as two queer arabs who grew up in two different cities: he in Amman, me in Beirut. I loved this conversation. youtu.be/4baenHObnIw

Small is best!! We do this together. chuffed.org/project/hope...

oh man, the Walker Art Center is going to be closed on Friday (If you're not from the Twin Cities, this is like MoMA closing in support of a general strike—a very big deal)

set a (small is fine!!) weekly or monthly donation

Agh, I have to function. No time to be dysfunctional T_T
