Post by Yuval Abraham, announcing what has been done to Hamdan Ballal.

NO OTHER LAND directors.

One of the co-directors of NO OTHER LAND, Hamdan Ballal was beaten by Israeli settlers and seized by Israeli soldiers from the ambulance Ballal called, per co-director Yuval Abraham. No one knows where Ballal is. (Ballal is second from right in the below photo.)

BREAKING: DHS Detains Palestinian Student from Columbia Encampment, Says Advocates Agents told him his student visa was revoked. But he had a green card. Agents then said that was revoked too.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.

Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.

His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

Literally all he did was quote someone. Defining criticism of the government as treason is what authoritarians do. Turning a publicly funded news outlet into a state media propaganda machine is what authoritarians do.

“I am a king and my will is law” isn’t a clever distraction from what he’s doing, it’s the central underlying justification for everything he’s doing.

BREAKING: Renowned former federal prosecutor Harry Litman announces he has resigned from his role as a contributor for the LA Times.

"I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons."

Trump is about to receive the "Patriot of the Year" award at Fox Nation's 6th annual Patriot Awards telecast. (Hosted by Sean Hannity, who replaced Pete Hegseth, who was supposed to be the host.)

There's definitely something very weird about a TV network giving the president-elect an award. But...
