Palestinians face renewed killings, raids and settler attacks as Israel pushes past agreed ceasefire lines.

The Security Council's backing of the Trump plan for Gaza ignores international law, punishes the Palestinians, and rewards those responsible for genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/the-...

In early 2025, the Israeli military launched an operation that emptied three Palestinian refugee camps. They've blocked their residents from returning and razed many of their homes. In a new report, HRW finds that Israeli forces carried out war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.

Rep. Thomas Massie: Epstein had close ties to our own intelligence agency and Israel's intelligence agencies. That’s why they’re trying to stop this. (Learn about those ties in Drop Site News - link below)

The air attack in the Bani Suheila area, east of Khan Younis, comes a day after Israel killed 30 people across Gaza.

Border Patrol protest today in Charlotte, NC. 11/15

CHARLOTTE “Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot & ran into the yard… The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time…” More 👉 www.charlotteobserver.com/news/politic...

I'm seeing people wonder why ICE is going after Charlotte. ICE has been at war with Charlotte's sheriff ever since he won in 2018. We'd covered this at Bolts back in the day; this quote is from that sheriff:

As part of the ceasefire, Gaza has been split in half by the so-called ‘yellow line,’ where Israel’s military controls just over 50% of the Strip. Palestinians are being killed for trying to cross or even get close to the line mondoweiss.net/2025/11/isra...

I came to this country as a child refugee. No English, no certainty, no idea what my life could become. Britain gave me refuge. Not on a timer, not with conditions attached, but with a chance to grow roots. A thread 🧵 1/8 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In the shadow of Al-Aqsa, the Palestinian neighborhood of Batan Al-Hawa in Siwan faces mass evictions, with settlers backed by the Israeli state and courts taking over multi-storey homes www.972mag.com/batan-al-haw...

“This would be an overt return to the British Mandate of 100 years ago, with the only change being that the US would hold the mandate rather than Britain. If it weren’t so utterly tragic, it would be laughable. As Marx said, history repeats itself, first as tragedy, then as farce”

Imagine, if this happened in Iran, you'd be condemning this in Congress --- but America

One of the craziest things happening right now is how there’s been report after report confirming that Jeffrey Epstein really was an Israeli intelligence operative, and yet it’s had no measurable impact on mainstream media or politics. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/sometimes-...

The US says nearly 15,000 trucks carrying goods and aid have entered Gaza since Oct. 10, but Palestinians and aid groups dispute the figures, calling it ‘engineered starvation’ aje.io/20yvu1

On this day in 1898, a mob of as many as 1,000 white people waged a violent campaign to suppress African American voting in Phoenix, South Carolina, that left at least nine Black people dead. No one was ever held accountable.

You can't make this up.

A 66-year-old competitive runner. Six broken ribs. He won’t be able to run his marathon anymore and all because ICE didn’t like how fast he moved his car. This isn’t about “immigration enforcement” anymore. It’s about unchecked power and the normalization of state violence.👇

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

oh just straight up gutter racism!

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

#OtD 19 Oct 1945 the UK Labour govt decided to illegally deport over 1000 Chinese seamen who lived in Liverpool. Even men married to British women were expelled, along with some of their wives who were then stripped of British citizenship stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9142...

Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people" (The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday. Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

"More Than 200 Bodies Dug Out of the Gaza Rubble Since Ceasefire Went Into Effect"

This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

Who belongs in Trump's America?

this is so deeply upsetting

Chicagoland is a friendly, safe, vibrant, & fun place. I’m very happy my kids have grown up in the Rogers Park neighborhood of the city, & in Evanston. They’re both wonderful places. But ICE is attacking us. People are doing everything possible to protect their neighbors. But it’s hard.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation Depraved. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
