We are losing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped educate, inform, and entertain millions of Americans.

Instead, we’re getting a vulgar new gold ballroom, which none of us will ever see.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.

Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

Begging people in media to stop calling Trump’s push for the resegregation of our society an “attack on DEI” or “anti-woke.” He’s fighting to exclude people of color and women from power. That’s the “great again” part of MAGA; they want 1950s power relations. Stop using their framing!

Detainees were told to either accept “voluntary deportation” or remain detained and appear before a tribunal.

Israeli Military Attacks Handala in International Waters, Abducts 21 Unarmed Civilians The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that its civilian vessel Handala, en route to break Israel's illegal, genocidal blockade on Palestinians in Gaza, has been violently intercepted by the Israeli military in international waters about forty nautical miles from Gaza. At 11:43 Palestine time the Occupation cut the cameras on board Handala and we have lost all communication with our ship. The unarmed boat was carrying life-saving supplies when it was boarded by Israeli forces, its passengers abducted, and its cargo seized. The interception occurred in international waters outside Palestinian territorial waters off Gaza, in violation of international maritime law. Handala carried a shipment of critical humanitarian aid for Palestinians in Gaza, including baby formula, diapers, food, and medicine. All cargo was non-military, civilian, and intended for direct distribution to a population facing deliberate starvation and medical collapse under Israel's illegal blockade.

Human Rights Defenders Aboard Handala, by country: United States: Christian Smalls - Amazon Labor Union founder; Huwaida Arraf - Human rights attorney (Palestine/US); Jacob Berger - Jewish-American activist; Bob Suberi - Jewish U.S. war veteran; Braedon Peluso - Sailor and direct action activist; Dr. Frank Romano - International lawyer and actor (France/US). France: Emma Fourreau - MEP and activist (France/Sweden); Gabrielle Cathala - Parliamentarian and former humanitarian worker; Justine Kempf - Nurse, Médecins du Monde; Ange Sahuquet - Engineer and human rights activist. Italy: Antonio Mazzeo - Teacher, peace researcher, journalist; Antonio "Tony" La Picirella - Climate and social justice organizer. Spain: Santiago González Vallejo - Economist and activist; Sergio Toribio - Engineer and environmentalist.

Australia: Robert Martin - Human rights activist; Tania "Tan" Safi - Journalist and organizer of Lebanese descent. Norway: Vigdis Bjorvand - 70-year-old lifelong justice activist. United Kingdom / France: Chloé Fiona Ludden - Former UN staff and scientist. Tunisia: Hatem Aouini - Trade unionist and internationalist activist. Journalists Aboard Handala Morocco: Mohamed El Bakkali - Senior journalist with Al Jazeera (based in Paris). Iraq / United States: Waad Al Musa - Cameraman and field reporter with Al Jazeera. The attack on Handala is the third violent act by Israeli forces against Freedom Flotilla missions this year alone. It follows the drone bombing of the civilian aid ship Conscience in European waters in May, which injured four people and disabled the vessel, and the illegal seizure of the Madleen in June, where Israeli forces abducted twelve civilians, including a Member

of the European Parliament. Shortly before their abduction, the Handala's crew affirmed that they would be hunger-striking if detained by Israeli forces and not accepting any food from the Israeli Occupation Forces. Israeli officials have ignored the International Court of Justice's binding orders that require the facilitation of humanitarian access to Gaza. The continued attacks on peaceful civilian missions represent a grave violation of international law. "Israel has no legal authority to detain international civilians aboard the Handala", said Ann Wright a member of the Freedom Flotilla's steering committee. "This is not a matter of internal Israeli jurisdiction. These are foreign nationals operating under international law in international waters. Their detention is arbitrary, unlawful, and must end."

BREAKING: Israeli military attacks humanitarian aid vessel Handala in international waters 30 miles from Gaza — in violation of maritime law — and has abducted 21 people on board, including U.S. citizens.

The ship was carrying life-saving aid, which Israel has seized.

“Active Hope is not wishful thinking.
Active Hope is not waiting to be rescued
by the Lone Ranger or by some savior.
Active Hope is waking up to the beauty of life
on whose behalf we can act."

“If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.”

Big Tech is building massive data centers, and 40% of the planned and existing centers across the US are in areas with "extremely high" or "high" water scarcity.

Mounting evidence points to these data centers exacerbating water shortages across the country.

We are concerned that ICE will take ann entire family into detention tomorrow. Their little girl is in a wheelchair and needs care. They have an infant. They have been complying with all requirements. Please show up to support!

Where are the children being held?

🚨 Children, handcuffed and chained, being moved out of the LA Federal Building.

July 10 - ICE & CBP raided two Glass House Farms sites in Camarillo and Carpinteria. Up to 319 undocumented workers arrested. At least 10 migrant kids were found. The youngest was 14.

BIG UPDATE with new court ruling! Judge sided with the United Farm workers: it’s not legal for roving patrols to terrorize hardworking people without cause, whether it’s in the fields or a home depot parking lot. Watch the video to learn more.

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

Farmworker dies from injuries during immigration raid in Ventura County, family says A farmworker has died after suffering injuries during an immigration raid at an agricultural area near Camarillo on Thursday, according to a family member.

ICE committed murder.

When eight men in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement boarded a plane in May, officials told them that they were being sent on a short trip from Texas to another ICE facility in Louisiana. Many hours later, the plane landed in Djibouti. The men were held in shipping containers for weeks, shackles on their legs. This past weekend, they were expelled to the violence-plagued nation of South Sudan. This deception, revealed by an Intercept investigation, highlights the lengths to which the U.S. government will go to further its anti-immigrant agenda and deport people to so-called third countries to which they have no connections.

I'm honestly having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that ICE told eight men they were going on a short trip from Texas to Louisiana and then trafficked them to all the way to Djibouti.

ICE Said They Were Being Flown to Louisiana. Their Flight Landed in Africa. An investigation by The Intercept reveals that ICE officials deceived eight men now expelled to South Sudan.
