In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

this was miss norway in the “national costume” portion of the miss universe pageant and pleased as i am that miss mexico won i may need a recount

An American elected official with courage enough to say this in the Oval Office is quietly the biggest news out of the meeting

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates

Israel has killed at least 104 people in Gaza, including 46 children. Journalist Mohammed al-Munirawi and his wife were among the killed; they were sheltering in a tent in Nuseirat in central Gaza. Israel has killed 256 journalists in Gaza since October 7, 2023.

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

#nokings #tucson thousands at a number of events throughout the city!

Only people who grew up before the internet will remember these: spelling, grammar and punctuation.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Without urgent, radical intervention, #Gaza faces total annihilation. We call for an immediate end to evacuation orders used as a tool of forcible displacement, a lasting ceasefire and the unrestricted entry of humanitarian aid at scale. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/palestine-th...

If you have any extra money please donate it to someone in Palestine

I’ve needed to make this for a bit- but here’s a thread of people who are being forced out of Gaza City- a lot of people living in Gaza City have been in bombed out buildings so they don’t have tents and also they need transportation. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

We demand that you lift the ban on Palestine Action. Our government is actively involved in a genocide. The UK government is using anti-terror laws to silence people who are taking action against this genocide. Sign up at wedonotcomply.org for a mass-action on August 9th.

I don’t understand. Where is @adamschiff.com ? Where is @chuckschumer.com ? Where is Hakeem Jeffries? Where is ANY of the Democratic Party leadership? How the f*ck is something like this going unanswered?

Yuri stared up at the second floor window, watching as a shadow passed behind it. Would Katya know him anymore? He'd been away ten years. He remained frozen. "You getting out?" asked the driver. Pulled from his reverie, Yuri settled into his seat. "Take me to the hotel," he said.

Thanks.

New investigation by me: the developers behind hundreds of iPhone and Android apps with billions of downloads, from image and photo editing software to mobile games, are former Israeli soldiers and spies open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

Watching someone with a platform speak with such moral clarity on Palestinian children should not be so rare.

i don’t believe in Bigfoot because he never believed in me; i’d scan the crowd at my ballet recitals and always see that one empty seat

Just trying to hold it together through end stage capitalism, living on a rock, orbiting some huge ball of gas at 67,000 mph, pretending money is real, & some document a bunch of rich white slave holders drew up ~250 yrs ago to protect their property is important, for some reason

3 Criticizing a government that carries out war crimes is not hate. It’s obligation. If your politics can’t confront genocide, then your politics are trash: No more money. No more bombs. No more fake neutrality. You are either against genocide. Or you are part of it. Now pick a side.

Israel has now allowed any food, water, and medicine to Gaza for over two months — and the U.S. is helping cover it up. They are starving the people of Gaza and famine is here. Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Netanyahu is openly gearing up to commit a crime of unthinkable proportions - the forced ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, with the continued backing of the US. Every sane and civilized country must oppose this.

Today is ALSO cis invisibility Day You can do crimes

We are deporting our best and brightest, sending them to be enslaved in torture camps with no hope of release, for protesting this. For protesting the government that massacres aid workers and dumps their bodies in mass graves. How does any human with a soul and a conscience not oppose this?

Do you or someone you know work at an Arizona airport and believe you are witnessing deportation flights? Please, reach out to me via email at JerodMacEvoy @ AzMirror.com PGP in bio. Signal given via email.

We wanted to watch a movie that wasn't free on streaming, then I remembered I still had my DVD from college. That must be what making a good financial investment feels like.

Becky Burke of Book Island (a picture book publisher in the UK founded by my fellow Tokarczuk translator Greet Pauwelijn) was "detained" by ICE at the Canadian border on 2/28. Her father asked that her story be shared in case someone can help her. He writes:

I found where they’re conserving you

"No Other Land" director Basel Adra: "We call on the world to take serious actions to stop the injustice and to stop the ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people." Congrats to the incredible film makers for winning best documentary feature

Me: Everything is so awful. Am I going to lose my healthcare? Should I be leaving the country? The microplastic spoon in my brain: Be still, my child. Be calm. Send another email. Drink a Diet Coke. Watch The White Lotus Sundays at 9.
