It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

"The last remaining member of the

"The last remaining member of the Gaza skate team.”

Rajab Al-Reefi the founder and head coach of the Gaza Skate Team, is the last member of the Gaza skateboarding collective. Israel has killed all the children.

Tony Blair’s catastrophic decision to invade Iraq cost thousands upon thousands of lives.

He shouldn’t be anywhere near the Middle East, let alone Gaza.

It is not up to Blair, Trump or Netanyahu to decide the future of Gaza. That is up to the people of Palestine.

After his presser with Trump, Netanyahu posts a video in Hebrew telling Israelis the IDF won’t really leave Gaza, and if theres no deal (to put Trump in charge of β€˜developing’ Gaza) they’ll continue the onslaught (an + starvation campaign with Trump’s support (and πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ bombs/money)

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I’m a Congressional Candidate. I Was Assaulted by ICE. An interview with Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old Democratic House candidate in Illinois, who was violently thrown to the ground twice at a peaceful protest in Illinois on Friday morning.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power.

The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power.

Both sides are not remotely the same.

Today I walked the picket line with @teamsters.bsky.social Local 210 members on strike in the Bronx.

When Perrigo picked this fight, it wasn't just with these workers β€” it's with all of us. Because New York is a union town.

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?

We’re peacefully protesting for our neighbors. What does ICE do?

Pick us up and throw us on the ground. No arrest, no identification, no process.

White House official Twitter account tweeting helicopter emojis

White House official Twitter account tweeting helicopter emojis

If you're conversant in the lingua franca of the online right, you know the helicopter emojis the official White House account is using here are a reference to the Pinochet dictatorship's practice of flying people above the ocean and dropping them to disappear them.

That's what they're threatening.

I'm all for banning athletes born with an unfair competitive advantage over their field.
That's why we should immediately ban rich children from all sports.

Top-notch equipment? Private coaches? Travel leagues?
I'm sorry if this offends you but that's just not natural. That's just not how sports were when I was growing up.
Won't someone think of the children?

Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gazaβ€”the best way to get food to starving people thereβ€”so Jordan is delivering some with air drops.

The Jordanians said @SenJeffMerkley & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.

Israel is now denying US senators (aka their patrons) from even seeing what they have done to Gaza.

But the genocide is made up.

I love that Richie Torres is seeing that his political career has climaxed & that he picked the wrong side & sold his soul only to lose his chance at career advancement, the only thing he actually cares about, when he could have been like Zohran & be beloved for doing the right thing, it’s awesome
