The flotilla carrying Jewish Currents reporter Emily Wilder has been captured by the Israeli military. Please contact Emily's senators and representatives—Adam Schiff, Alex Padilla, and Jimmy Gomez—and urge them to advocate for her safe release from Israeli detention

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

The Flotilla has achieved several remarkable victories. But the one thing that hits the hardest is that for the first time in years, Palestinians were able to go fishing due to the Flotilla keeping the IOF distracted. May it be the first of many wins ♥️

before and after hegseth's directive

September Native News Roundup is out today. News from Palestine, repeating history, federal cuts hit tribal radio and Native students, plus resources for supporting Trans folks. Read and subscribe:

yeah, this is hegseth straightforwardly announcing that it is free play time for bigots in the ranks. and together with his comments on standards, he clearly wants to purge as many women, black and brown people as he can from the armed services. a white man's military.

The whole outrageous story: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

Grateful my son has an English teacher thoughtful enough to assign works on Greek mythology including passages like this.

FALL FASHION TIPPE - Disappear ynto the woodes of an eveninge, when the skye ys lavender and blue. Call unto the powers that dwell ther, and lo! thei appear yn their glamour and their panoplye, radiant. Aske of them what thei have seen and thei will tell thee: 'sorrow.' Accessorize wyth a scarf.

It was only after Jonas Salk developed the first safe & effective polio vaccine that the need for iron lungs declined. When asked who owned the vaccine patent, Salk famously answered, “Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” 7/7 #vaccineswork

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago this morning. Protesters here for this morning's action are gathering off 25th now that Beach has been fenced off. A pair of men peering through the fence at ICE vehicles shout, "Get the fuck out of Chicago, you terrorists!"

Folks are leaving handwritten messages on the fence. One of them reads, "You are not forgotten. ICE will meet justice in our lifetime."

Protesters who had been gathered at the end of Harvard Street are now well down the street, closer to the ICE building. ICE agents stand at the fence.

A line of protesters blocks the lot chanting , “No ICE! No KKK! No fascist USA!” The lot is also used by businesses here. When non-ICE vehicles approach they shout “real jobs!” and move to let them pass.

Protesters sing “we will not be moved”

ICE advanced again, started firing at photographers/press intentionally. Took a nasty lick to the face, unsure if pepper ball or rubber bullet.

On the other side, by the fence: It's quite a spectacle out here, tons of out of town press. News Nation is interviewing the one counter-demonstrator here in a MAGA hat. Some women with signs stand behind him in their shot.

We are so back

Seeing ice cream cones during their spawning runs really takes your breath away. They’ll only do this once in their entire lives.

Thank you all so much.

Maybe I'll say, since lotsa ppl are asking, that they've told me it's okay to email [email protected], if you'd like. I don't know if there's any hope for returning in some other form! That would be nice. But if nothing else, I'd like it if the creative team got their flowers.

"you are the ones with the most to lose. My colleagues & I may have to leave this cherished institution & that would be a great loss for us. But we have already lived lives of consequence and can find other pursuits. You, however, would lose the education you deserve." 🔥 thebatt.com/news/anonymo...

“You also now must fear one another. Under the new normal, a single student can record a class discussion, fail to protect your identity, and post it online in violation of the safeguards provided by Student Rule 24 and FERPA, dragging you & your classmates into a national scandal without consent.”

NJ PBS shutting down next summer. “15yrs ago Gov. Christie ended 4 decades of state funding for public TV, forcing them to find a new funder. The state cut $750k in funding this yr, but that was hardly the fatal blow; that came from the end of federal funds.” newjerseyglobe.com/media/new-je...

"Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don’t know. But the most telling detail in Klein’s column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself." Ta-Nehisi Coates, with receipts.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
