Screenshot of quote retweet by Mohammad Alsaafin of a video of the reconstructed Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City. It reads, "The maternity ward of Shifa Hospital, destroyed and burned out during Israel’s repeated massacres at the hospital, has been renovated. Remarkable resilience. If the world forces Israel to let construction material in, Gaza’s survivors will rebuild their cities and homes."

A maternity ward rebuilt under continued siege and genocide.

Repro justice demands we end our complicity in the state violence that destroys care in Palestine, and everywhere.

screenshot 1/2: Fed’n of Am., Inc. v. Kennedy, Civil Action 1:25-cv-11913 (the “Planned Parenthood litigation”). In the action now before the court, twenty-two States2 and the District of Columbia (the “Plaintiff States”) claim, inter alia, that Section 71113 failed to provide clear notice to States that participate in the joint Federal / State Medicaid program, as required by the Spending Clause of the United States Constitution. Pending before the court is the Plaintiff States’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Doc. No. 60] seeking to enjoin Defendants from implementing or enforcing Section 71113 pending a final ruling on the merits of this case. For the reasons stated infra, **Plaintiff States have standing to bring this action and have demonstrated a substantial likelihood of success on their claim that Section 71113 fails to provide clear notice as required by the Spending Clause of the United States Constitution. Accordingly, the Plaintiff States’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Doc. No. 60] is GRANTED,** as set forth below.

screenshot 2/2: Here, Defendants have not shown that they are likely to prevail on appeal where Plaintiff States, as discussed at length above, have shown a substantial likelihood of success on their Spending Clause claim. Accordingly, a stay pending appeal is DENIED. **To assist in orderly review, however, the court finds it prudent to administratively stay the injunctive relief granted herein for seven days, to allow Defendants, if they so choose, to file an appeal and seek a stay on the merits in the appellate court.** See Fed. R. Civ. P. 62(d). V. Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff States’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction [Doc. No. 60] is GRANTED. It is hereby ORDERED that: 1. Defendants, their agents, employees, appointees, successors, and anyone acting in concert or participation with Defendants are hereby enjoined from enforcing, retroactively enforcing, or otherwise applying the provisions of Section 71113 of “An Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14,” against the Plaintiff States.

Stay alert. Support our neighbors who are in fear for themselves and their families. Alert our community about any immigration enforcement you witness. At least one attempted abduction by ICE was prevented this morning by quick action by neighbors. We keep us safe.

To our Minneapolis community: we’re seeing increased ICE activity across Minneapolis yesterday and today, driven by Trump’s attacks on our Somali friends and neighbors.

The Trump administration is halting immigration applications, including for green cards and citizenship, for people from the 19 countries subject to travel bans and restrictions in President Trump's June executive order. trib.al/6Hw9urt

A white Giving Tuesday graphic for the Repro Legal Defense Fund that has a gradient purple circle in the center that fades as it goes further out. At the top bold black text states, "The Repro Legal Defense Fund has spent $2.5 MILLION this year to cover bail and legal defense costs for people in 25 states." Below this in the center of the purple circle is white text: (so far). Under is more black text, "Donate on this Giving Tuesday to help us get people free and keep them free: tinyurl.com/GiveRLDF2025."

We've spent $2.5 million this year to get people out of jail and meet their needs. (Mostly in TX.)

On Thursday, HB 7 will go into effect. It allows people to sue anyone who makes, distributes, mails, or provides abortion pills to or from TX.

I appreciate the reporting AND I want everyone to stop using criminal records as a stand in for whether people should or should not be harassed and deported.

After 9.5 months in Israeli military detention, Palestinian-American 16-year-old Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim has been released from Ofer Prison and reunited with his family. He’s now receiving medical care. His family credits a sustained grassroots pressure campaign — and is urging continued advocacy for the hundreds of Palestinian children still held in Israeli military prisons. The family requests privacy.

jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz I have some incredible news to share. Today, after 9.5 agonizing months, Mohammed Zaher Ibrahim was released from Israel’s Ofer Prison and into his father’s arms. The Israeli military had no right to take him in the first place, and the family credits the relentless grassroots campaign that kept up the diplomatic pressure to free him. He’s in rough shape, but okay, and on his way to the hospital for treatment. Once he’s discharged, his mom, dad, brother, and sisters will have his favorite meal and a very belated 16th-birthday celebration waiting for him at home. I’ll share more details soon. Now that Mohammed is free, the family is asking all his supporters to keep fighting for the hundreds of Palestinian children still unjustly trapped in Israeli military prisons. The family requests privacy for now. Happy Thanksgiving everyone — lots to be thankful for.
