Flames engulfed a warehouse in Gaza’s Khan Younis after it was hit by an Israeli strike. Civil defense workers were struggling to put out the fire.

Zohran is not perfect and no politician will be but it actually really is novel for there to be such a major democratic socialist executive who is willing to do this kind of combative endorsement.

the term ceasefire deal has lost any meaning

Vehemently agree with this. Vote shaming is never effective. What unites the Nithya people and the Rae people (many of whom have been the same people and will be again) is passionately caring about Los Angeles and desperately wanting it to be all it can be.

I literally helped the policy team for Rae and I am imploring people to vote for Nithya.

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

every headline about this guy is him getting a 50k check from Molestro, The Pollution Loving Lake Monster

New dystopia just dropped

Have I missed it or has @nithyaforthecity.bsky.social really not endorsed Faizah Malik for City Council?

Rep. Pallone reports a woman detained at Delaney Hall suffered a miscarriage before being transferred out.

somehow I am the first to bring this to Bluesky: Zohran Mamdani is live on MSNOW endorsing Darializa Avila Chevalier's primary challenge to Adriano Espaillat

Israel just hit an apartment in Beirut's suburbs for the first time in a few weeks. Just the second time since the alleged ceasefire went into effect.

New from me: two LAPD officers are facing decertification for the 2021 killing of Margarito Lopez Jr. during a mental health crisis. Chief of Police, Board of Police Commissioners, and Use of Force Review Board agreed the shooting was out of policy. They're still working w/ criminal charges pending.

Oh, ffs. "Earlier this month, the Army told soldiers to start using their own personal phones for government work"

This is state + local government at its best when it comes to a hostile federal administration. Access to facilities & information is key and exists in so many different pockets given overlapping gov't mandates. Local electeds need to get creative on how to put their latent powers to work.

The latest L.A. City #MeasureHLA heel-dragging: L.A. City admits that it triggered HLA on June 23, 2024. But the city won't install the mobility features they say they triggered (sidewalk repairs) until June 2029! Frustrating details follow.

They didn't die while serving in the military, but they died protecting our freedoms from those who would destroy them, nonetheless. Remembering these heroes on this Memorial Day.

"NJ Governor Sherrill says she’s been denied entry into Delaney Hall ICE detention facility in Newark... Roughly 300 detainees had gone on a hunger strike to protest conditions they describe as inhumane." DHS denies the strike is happening. 🎥 from @nj.com: www.instagram.com/reel/DYxIJaO...

US made bombs, US made bulldozers, US made jets, US made guns, US made tanks, US made armored vehicles, US intelligence gathering, US approval. And the US is somehow not involved in the war on Lebanon?

This is why I speak of it as a joint American-Israeli war on Lebanon, and also on Palestine. Nothing the Israelis do is actually without American consent, implicit or explicit.

It is bizarre that people continue to believe that Israel does not rely upon American goodwill for their military activity when Israeli media itself talks of how DC will "greenlight" a larger operation in Lebanon. Israeli media is more honest than American media in this respect.

Not sure what Sen. Booker is doing here but it's the wrong tone. Yes, Trump got us into this miss and we should never forget it. But now, it's much better if Trump cuts our losses, instead of digging deeper. It's Netanyahu who 'played him as a fool' in the first place, not Iran.

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

I'm adopting a family's June rent, & asking for help raising $1450 This Minneapolis-area mom of 5 kids needs help since her husband was deported during Operation Metro Surge Can you help? Venmo @wrigleyfield / CashApp $ewrigleyfield (DM for last 4 digits of phone or Zelle) Incentives in next post

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

The thing about the US is that we can’t even build a single high-speed rail line and the department of transportation of the largest, wealthiest state wants to waste people’s time by studying a fake mode of transportation. These two facts are related.

Expected US-Iran MOU - 60-day ceasefire - Ships can go thru Hormuz,no toll - US lifts blockade - An end to war - Iran sells oil+gets some sanctions relief - Negotiations on nuclear program Unclear - Lebanon front - Who controls Hormuz - If Israel fully bound by ceasefire

Update. Maybe I’m being dramatic. But I’m just trying to be safe. I’m headed to USA in an hour. Considering the immigration situation & the previous detention, I want people who know we’re just normal people to be on the lookout for us. I’ll update when we land & then again after customs.

Russia isn't the only one that drops bombs on medics.. Video captures the moment a second strike killed two Lebanese paramedics as they were helping victims of an earlier attack

After arguing against sanctions on Itamar Ben Gvir on the EU level just a few weeks ago, the French government has just banned him from ever entering France. Poland banned him yesterday.

Los Angeles: we just got word that Hydee Feldstein-Soto has begun charging anti-ICE protesters from arrests *last June* with a court date set for July. If you received a letter from the City Attorney we want to talk to you. Message us on here or hit us on signal gglaprotest.72

NEW in @laist.com: "Career prosecutors accuse LA city attorney of dropping cases to help donors" Leaked emails show "two supervising prosecutors questioned city attorney Hydee Feldstein Soto's directive to drop a price gouging case against a major campaign donor" This blatant corruption must go!

Despite its overall symbolic nature, it is noteworthy that earlier today the Polish foreign minister announced that he intended to impose a travel ban on Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir.

Since 2003, Israel has killed at least a dozen Americans with U.S. tax dollars. The coalition is demanding justice for Sayfollah and reiterating the call for accountability for all Americans killed by Israel’s violence, including:

Just one example of Israel's heavy and crucial dependence on US support: Amid hostilities with Iran, the American military expended far more advanced interceptors to protect Israel than Israeli forces did, according to Defense Department data. wapo.st/4dVmjDc
