This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.
NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks."

You can just say things.
Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.
Other figures say 40. Posting for clarity but whether it’s 85, 40, literally any number big or small, a dead child is a dead child. They didn’t do anything. We are not the good guys here.

I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
I was going to bring the Saint Paul Liberation Front flag to the Loons game tomorrow but was told it was banned for being “divisive.” It is “political” and “violent.”
…
sign on light post with MN and Somali flags, both blue with white stars. "Solidarity Midnimo, support Somali neighbors"
If it makes you feel any worse, yeah we were in league with our Somali neighbors the whole time. That's what the flag means.

🔊 “This is our country too. We work here. We raise our children here. We serve here. We build here. We belong here.”
Imam Salah Mohamed is in D.C. with a delegation of Minnesotans delivering a clear message to Congress: not one more cent for ICE.

I just read the declaration that Kira Kelley asked J. Blackwell to consider.
This immigrant describes being
-unlawfully arrested
-taken from one overcrowded & filthy prison to another over 19 days
-held incommunicado
& ICE never telling him a court ordered his release
He describes an American gulag
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
"If we take the percentage of Minnesota voters who reported that either themselves or a loved one participated in the Jan. 23 call for “no work, no school, no shopping” by not going to work... and apply it to the total population of those voters, we get just almost 300,000 people."

So this morning, over a thousand of us marched to the Whipple Federal Detention Center to say:

Minnesota is so beautiful
As one of Minnesota's spreadsheet dads, myself and other friends of @mn50501.bsky.social have been tracking ICE flights at MSP.
We haven't had more than one flight in a day since Jan 15. Today's had 33 people board, 8 yesterday.
An unacceptable situation, but it is trending down, thankfully.
I want every person who has been flown out on Signature Airlines in shackles and being detained in Houston returned to us here in Minnesota. We should bring them home. The 100 people with refugee status they want to denaturalize, Liam, all of them. Bring them home.
And Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood is named for Wendell Phillips, a fervent abolitionist. He was once asked why he couldn't turn down the heat in his rhetoric: why are do you always have to be so firery? Phillips' reply: "Yes, I'm on fire--becuase I have mountains of ice to melt!"
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"For someone my age who was in the civil rights movement, and in other struggles of the 1960s, I’ve seen miracles happen," the revolutionary and historian responded. "I’ve seen ordinary people do the most heroic things. When you’ve had the privilege of knowing so many great fighters and resisters, you can’t lay down the sword, even if things seem objectively hopeless." "I’ve always been influenced by the poems Brecht wrote in the late 30s, during the second world war, after everything had been incinerated, all the dreams and values of an entire generation destroyed, and Brecht said, well, it’s a new dark ages … how do people resist in the dark ages?" "What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight."
Aware that he only had a few months left to live the great Mike Davis gave one of his final interviews to the Guardian in 202.
"You’ve been organizing for social change your whole life. How do you deal with a future that feels so bleak?" Lois Beckett asked.
