About cruelty, & about demonstrating to Black & brown folks that they can't protect their children or homes from the state.

About demonstrating to Black & brown children that they must never question white authority.

About demonstrating to white folks where our loyalties had better lie.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Stephen miller saying he is a fascist and the government is fascist and that anyone opposed to fascism is the enemy is one of those things they if we had a functional media would be wall to wall news.

Stephen miller is a fascist domestic enemy

The federal government is at war against the people.

If we want change, we must root it out. We need to return to our foundations. Talk to your local tribes.

The daily caller and heritage foundation are openly calling for open violence against anyone the deem to be β€œthe left” this comes after a week of constant acceleration in language from both the president of the United States and other fascist politicians calling for the murder of their opponents.

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...

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

How is it not headline news everywhere that 1000 people have disappeared from the records at "Alligator Alcatraz" internment camp?

What’s that you say, when you don’t levy taxes in order to fund the services that allow artists to produce art in more of their time than what’s left over after two minimum wage jobs, you don’t get better and more interesting culture? Seems fake but okay!

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Let me make this very clear:
Being sarcastic about sexual assault while also anti science, and scaring pregnant people into not appropriately treating their pain while simultaneously belittling the lives of autistic people is really a full encapsulation of this administration.

These are my dear friends Mohammed and Alaa, a young couple from Gaza.
War has taken almost everything from them: their home, their work, their sense of safety.
They’ve been displaced again and again, carrying only what they can hold…

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us.

We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again.

That's the revolution.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States:
(a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip;
(b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide;
(c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law;
(d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide;
(e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court:
(a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants;
(b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide against Palestinians, a UN commission investigating the war in Gaza said on Tuesday. In earlier reports, the commission found that Israel had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity, but stopped short of declaring it genocide. nyti.ms/484tpD5
