‘Armed, dangerous’: Israeli settlers attack Palestinians harvesting olives Palestinians face more than 150 Israeli settler, military attacks so far during this year's olive harvest in West Bank.

Palestinians face more than 150 Israeli settler, military attacks so far during this year's olive harvest in West Bank.

I asked a friend of mine who was in that group for a picture to post here. He told he they were working so fast that they had no time to take pictures.

This is a victory. Every plot of land harvested is a plot of land not abandoned to the Israeli occupation.

The CJNV olive harvest group is on the ground and working hard. Sydney Levy, a member of CJNV's advisory committee is there and has been sending dispatches from the field. Here are some excerpts and photos from Sydney:

Orleans Parish Clerk of Criminal Court incumbent accused of electioneering WDSU reached out to the Secretary of State's office, who said they are aware of the issue and commissioners are being asked to remove the items in question.

If you need one more reason to VOTE FOR CALVIN DUNCAN for Clerk of Criminal Court, here’s a new one. Lombard lied (in contradiction to court RECORDS re his opponent) and now this: www.wdsu.com/article/orle...

Yes… and if you follow the money, you know why you better vote for Duplessis!

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

I seem to remember that we walked out to the overpass at interstate 75

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Iran S04 E06 Dailymotion video by L3arnTV

If you’re an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

Highly recommend @dahlialithwick.bsky.social’s interview with Aziz Huq about the “dual state” legal arrangement in Nazi Germany and now creeping into the American system.

What a helpful framework for understanding and explaining what is happening today.

Apparently NYU wants to hear what we think of them denying Logan Rozos his diploma for his “one-sided” assertion that bombing and starving people is a bad idea. Email: jhb5@nyu.edu

During his graduation speech, NYU student Logan Rozos condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the U.S. role in funding it. The university responded by withholding his diploma, calling his remarks “one-sided” and accusing him of “abusing a privilege.”

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows:

An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Tucked at the very end of this article is the tidbit that @reptroycarter.bsky.social was part of a delegation to visit Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil. Thank you Rep Carter!

Among all the other disturbing things going on….

The work of the Whitney is so important. I’ve learned so much from the tours there. This is enraging.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Can we get a gift link to the article published today w additional details???

Trump's Attack on Lawyers and Law Firms Takes a Page Out of the Southern 1950s Playbook American Authoritarians Fear the Uniquely American Power of Litigation

If you want to know what this administration will do, no need to look to European authoritarians.

We had our own in the South in the 50s and 60s, and Trump is following their playbook.

Researchers have found there have been more protests more frequently than in 2017, along with a new emphasis on economic action.

On this day in 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson told Gov. Wallace he would federalize the National Guard to protect Selma marchers. Alabama refused to defend justice, so the White House stepped in. A defining moment where federal power was used to uphold civil rights. #Selma

Aging is not bad!

It is a sign that you’re harder to for your enemies to kill!

It’s proof that you’ve learned some stuff!

Do not buy into our culture’s terror of death, or the capitalist obsession with the new.

You earned every damn wrinkle and grey, dammit.

Own ‘em with majesty.

This is an important piece to read & reflect on….
