Israel’s sexual torture of Palestinians it’s holding captive is an “organized state policy,” a new report from Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has revealed. Israeli soldiers are raping Palestinians and recording it with zero accountability.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

The horrifying revelations of César Chávez’s widespread sexual abuse of young women and girls were in part rooted in the culture of unquestioning loyalty and top-down dictation that Chávez established in the United Farm Workers.

We can oust our creeps too, y’all.

The prohibition of racial discrimination in voting and the right to have absentee ballots counted are in grave peril.

It's called firehosing and it's a deliberate tactic

So-called "less than lethal" ammunition used by LAPD and by ICE/DHS are extremely dangerous. I've been at protests where these were used purposefully to shoot at journalists, one of whom suffered a major head injury. Now this one last week. www.latimes.com/california/s...

An average of 8 out of 1,000 California mail ballots were rejected in last November’s election for arriving past the post-Election Day deadline — 4x that of those rejected in 2024. New USPS changes could explain why, but Trump’s recent bid to target mail voting may increase those numbers.

DO YOUR JOB @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov IMPEACH AND REMOVE TRUMP

Congress, this is on you. No matter what happens tonight, enough is enough. We don't want to live like this. Impeach, convict, and remove him.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

Cops don't keep us safe

"Instead of sending people back to their communities, the state is spending millions on new buildings" No matter how hard the system tries to rebrand it, prison construction will never be about "rehabilitation" or ending mass incarceration.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

We could end poverty, homelessness and food insecurity tomorrow if we wanted to. It’s a political choice to spend tax dollars on wars, ICE and corporate greed instead of helping the majority of people. Tax the billionaires. Take care of everyone else.

ACTIVIST CHECKLIST

Rodney Taylor has been held in a CoreCivic ICE facility since January 2025. “There are times he cannot take a shower," his wife has said. "He can’t do it with the general population; he has to remove his prosthetics and then he crawls across floors covered with mold and feces to shower."

Community Alert from the Rapid Response Network in Santa Clara County:

A National Guard helicopter deployed by Calif Gov Ronald Reagan drops tear gas onto the campus of UC Berkeley to disperse student protesters. Due to the wind, most of the tear gas hit bystanders instead, which Reagan later said may have been “a tactical mistake”. 1969 www.reddit.com/r/Historical...

This is exactly right. Airports have been “the thin edge of the wedge” re: fascism for decades now. Take off your shoes, get into this full-body scanner, put your hands up. Getting us all used to passively accepting orders.

Squeezed by data centers' relentless demand for electricity, a Nevada energy company just said it's going to stop supplying energy to Tahoe. The city has a year to figure out how to meet 75% of its energy needs without it.
