this week's post is something i've been thinking about for a long time. it's called "all of us imperfect comrades: or, an army of fuckups cannot lose" margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/each-of-us...

New at CBS News: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly approved military operations on two vessels early last month that were part of a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying aid and pro-Palestinian supporters including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. www.cbsnews.com/news/netanya...

As a coalition of billionaires, landlords, and real estate developers invest more than $1.2 million in Bruce Harrell’s re-election, local progressive leaders Pramila Jayapal and Teresa Mosqueda are announcing their endorsements of Katie Wilson.

Why not enough food is reaching people in Gaza even after Israel eased its blockade apnews.com/article/aid-...

The vessel aimed to break the blockade and deliver humanitarian aid to the population of Gaza during these particularly hard-hit days of famine caused by Israel. freedomnews.org.uk/2025/07/27/i...

Another great evening to go drop off a ballot! Save this map and send it to 5 friends! Remember #ThisIsYourCity

Gaza is descending into famine and Trump is turning his back on this moral crisis. There is no excuse - ever - to deprive civilians of desperately needed food and water. Trump must press Israel to end this blockade.

One of the men @jessicaschulberg.bsky.social and I wrote about is Ysqueibel Yonaiquer Peñaloza Chirinos. He came into the U.S. legally, through the CBP One app. His family has worked tirelessly to secure his release from CECOT. Tonight, they got to hug him again. His mother Ydalys shares this video:

Marines and DHS arrest anti-ICE protester after children were spotted in chains at the federal detention center in LA

Our hearts are heavy for the grieving family of Jaime Alanis, who died from injuries sustained during a chaotic raid on Thursday. We will do everything we can to support them. We continue to work with the hundreds of farm worker families navigating the aftermath of this violent raid.

Our staff is on the ground supporting families. Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more. US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones. 4/

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

FEMA removed dozens of Camp Mystic buildings from their 100-year flood map in Texas in response to appeals

The Department of Homeland Security is telling police to treat mundane activities like skateboarding or live-streaming at a protest as "violent tactics." This is disturbing, dangerous, and could easily lead to excessive force against people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.

Reflections on flooding and mutual aid by @margaret.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

@npr.org Isreal did not "refute" genocide claims; they *denied* them. A refutation involves proof or at least evidence. Thank you for covering this, but please consider a more accurate sub-headline. www.npr.org/2025/07/10/g...

FEMA missed flood risk in Texas because of climate denial in Congress, lobbying by real estate developers, Trump cuts to funding, and lax state officials who "treat floodplains as a kind of good old boy, kind of wink and nod, [like] it's environmental red tape." @npr.org www.npr.org/2025/07/09/n...

Why do riders call Metro Route 8 the L8? Come find out for yourself this Thursday, July 10th when we join TRU and Central Seattle Greenways to "Race the L8" - meet at 5pm in Denny Park near Dexter.

The ICE camps are concentration camps. They should be called concentration camps. It is, of course, important to distinguish between concentration camps and death camps, but also, I am not sure we will know when or if we undergo the transition from concentration camps into death camps.

Trump regime ICE forces wrongly detained a father in front of his wife and kids at 26 Federal Plaza, NYC. They terrorized the family and children with the father nearly breaking down in fear. The family begged to be deported together if they had to go. Cruelty is part of the job. #3E #StopICE

State department guidance is now up for transgender people who want to change their gender marker on their passports. Your window opens NOW to make it happen, with some caveats: data will be collected on changes. EITM was the first media outlet to report this breaking development for trans people.

MAGA/Israel's attempt to start a war with Iran reminded me of Ward Churchill's essay On the Justice of Roosting Chickens, which discusses Americans' refusal to understand why we were attacked on 9/11. theanarchistlibrary.org/library/ward...

May I respectfully suggest a more direct approach to intervening in harassment, @npr.org? www.npr.org/2021/05/10/9...

Trump visited the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Everglades. During that visit, he suggested something quite radical: the deportation of U.S. citizens, including those born in the United States, to facilities abroad.

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

@litonfirepia.bsky.social Do you happen to have "One Day Everyone Will Have Been Against This" by Omar El Akkad in stock?

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...
