Also this is appalling. Jesus Christ.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

"i tested negative" (using antigen tests with abysmal false negative rates, that probably expired last year)

"these protesters have been met with increasing acts of brutality. Sometimes, the government’s repressive acts of violence are precipitated by the protesters’ efforts to block ICE vehicles. But often, the violence seems random or even recreational in nature."

A message from Assata Shakur's daughter, Kakuya Shakur:

But this win means our collective pressure is working. Palestinians call for increased global BDS and shareholder pressure until Microsoft adheres to international law and ends all complicity in Israel’s atrocity crimes.

Microsoft remains a key technological pillar is Israel’s apartheid regime and its genocide in Gaza. It continues to equip the Israeli military, government and prisons with the technology used to commit war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.

i hope people see this recent microsoft news as proof of BDS' effectiveness; especially in regard to raising publicity and encouraging action from microsoft employees and it inspires more people to join in keeping the pressure on these unrepentantly imperialist tech companies

There is so much in the news cycle these days that the complete dismantling of the Forest Service -- so *our* forests can be auctioned off to Big TImber -- is unfortunately getting little air play. But if this happens, US landscapes may be almost unrecognizable in a decade, and never coming back. 🌍

This clip (from 2022) now feels STRANGELY relevant... 😬

it isn't that people do not mobilize - often, they do! historically, indigenous sovereignty, black liberation movements, & internationalist youths. the problem more so is that every other segment quickly tries to abandon or contain them. one of the most amorphous deradicalization systems in history

I rarely defend Americans, but we shouldn't forget that American GenZ started the student protests in 2023, were beaten to a pulp by police, got thrown out of school, lost scholarships, had their degrees revoked, etc. An Egyptian friend of mine joked "those kids were Arab Springed" Funny but true.

huge news but the fight isn't over as they're still maintaining a relationship with the IDF outside of this service being pulled, but this is legitimate living proof that the BDS boycotts get results

A short impromptu stream this morning, at 11.30 ET over at twitch.tv/friendsatthetable. Let's flip some coins.

ICE / feds continue to terrorize communities all over LA. Home Depots and car washes are hit by kidnapping operations daily (in addition to other raids / roving patrols). Stay vigilant & look out for your neighbors.

BREAKING: Israel has ordered shut the Allenby Crossing, the only gateway for three million Palestinians in the West Bank to the outside world, “until further notice,” in what appears to be a response to the wave of recognition of Palestine by UN member states including key European allies.
