He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war thatβs not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America canβt afford Meals on Wheels anymore.
Make it make sense.
Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.
BREAKING: At least 45 Palestinians have been killed and dozens injured by Israeli forces as they were waiting for aid in Khan Younis, says the Gaza Health Ministry.

Latest in the Guardian with @nickocchiuto.bsky.social argues that the Club World Cup tournament has given Trump a platform for his authoritarianism, with full endorsement of FIFA. We must answer by boycotting the World Cup matches to be held in the US next year.

These "hunger games" being played by Israel and the US are so disgusting. The humiliation and terrorizing and murdering of Palestinians via inhumanitarian aid is further evidence of how dehumanized Israel and the US are.

Interpreters: if youβre going to interpret a graduation these days you should look up the sign for Palestine. No reason to fingerspell it.
Great piece. Come to the Grad Center if you can to support these folks and attend a teach in.
Just wrote. Please consider doing the same - takes less than a minute!
One of the highlights of this year was co-hosting a keynote lecture by the magnificent Sherene Seikaly, titled "Palestine as Paradigm."
I am so honoured to be able to share it with you all. Take some time with it. Her message has never been more urgent. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq0A...
Israeli forces bomb Fahmi Al-Jirjawi school-turned-shelter in Gaza's Al-Daraj neighborhood, erupting fire and killing at least 30 Palestinians, including several children. The total number of people killed across the enclave since dawn today is 50.

This is what fascist state capture looks like in practiceβa pervasive blurring of the boundary between state & vigilante violence under the aegis of the law.
Over 1100 Israeli academics urge the heads of Israeli universities and colleges to "mobilize the full weight of Israeli academia to stop the Israeli war in #Gaza", acknowledging "a horrifying litany of war crimes and even crimes against humanity, all of our own doing."
Israeli academia operates to justify and sustain Israeli state narratives and action.
Israeli archaeologists, for example, choose dig sites that facilitate Israeli encroachment and forcible dispossession of Palestinians.
Gaza is a free fire zone. Anyone can be killed anywhere at anytime.
In this case, a doctor lose nine of her ten children. This is a war crime.
The murder of two Israeli embassy staffers is also a crime.
The difference is that Palestinians are being killed by the dozens or hundreds a day.
I hope that @brooklyncollege.bsky.social will speak up about what Councilwoman Inna Vernikov is doing here--targeting a CUNY student with hate and potentially putting them in danger. Vernikov previously brought a gun--against NYC law--to a protest at Brooklyn College in October 2023.
Sent this to a friend who recently said that Palestine is not her issue and added: βBefore giving up on Palestine because it is my issue and not your issue, watch this video. Does it not look like Israeli soldiers in a West Bank village? Hard not to see Cesaireβs boomerang everywhere these daysβ¦ β
My God
What kind of dystopic science fiction world are we living in?
Scenes are repeating across the United States, passersby and local residents confront & resist Trump's ICE regime troops as theyβre spotted kidnapping their neighbours. The regime continues its campaign of ethnic cleansing, appearing at homes and businesses masked and without warrants. #3E #StopICE
Growing reports show that Israel has been fomenting armed gangs to loot food supplies in Gaza and sow chaos β and it's killing those who attempt to stop it. But this strategy isn't new: Israel has waged a war on Gaza's civil government from the start.

Israeli forces kill 19 in Gaza in past 24 hours: Palestinian health ministry - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israeli-forces-kill-19-palestinians-gaza-over-last-24-hours-health
Honestly, I know of no such blatant case of political imprisonment & infringement of political speech in the USA in modern times. Maybe there are going back decades, but this was deeply shameful, from the moment masked men unjustly kidnapped her, stuffed her into a van, & locked her up.
The Israeli occupation forces bombed the UNRWA aid distribution headquarters in Jabalia camp, north of the Gaza Strip.

2/ We'll say it again: When schools send the police after their own students, it shows a shocking disregard for their safety - especially now, as the federal government seizes any opportunity to target and deport pro-Palestine protesters.
Brooklyn College, and all colleges, must do better.
1/ Last night, Brooklyn College called the NYPD - including the notoriously violent SRG - on its own students over a small, nonviolent protest in support of Palestine.
Cops needlessly escalated the protest by pushing and shoving several protesters to the ground, and tasing one student three times.
