“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

todo el mundo quiere saber dónde estaba Mazón--me da igual. Lo importante es donde NO estaba: haciendo su trabajando y salvando las vidas de los que murieron por su negligencia criminal- no entiendo como sigue en libertad, mucho menos gobernando

La zona de exclusión es ILEGAL ya que se ha establecido por un estado que está ocupando ilegalmente el territorio Palestino

¡No abandones la Flotilla! Las actuaciones de Israel son ILEGALES y vuestro deber bajo la ley internacional es proteger no solo a los españoles abordo pero a los que sufren en Gaza. Cualquier otra opción es complicidad

El mundo entero os está mirando

So in Denmark they do this thing, where they issue you loans to pay your property tax and charge you interest. When you never asked for the loan. So then you have to call and say I don't want a loan I just want to pay my tax. And then you have to call again. And so on. How is this legal? A mystery.

How is a wanted war criminal allowed to address the UN? He belongs in jail. Bravo to all who walked out. Shame, shame, on all those who invited him and who support genocide.

Let that sink in

"Despite its extreme population density, Gaza was mostly self-sufficient in vegetables and poultry, and met much of the population’s demand for olives, fruit and milk. But last month the UN reported that just 1.5% of its agricultural land now remains both accessible and undamaged."

Human rights experts join rising chorus that accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza A team of experts commissioned by the U.N.'s Human Rights Council has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

GENEVA (AP) — A team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations’ Human Rights Council has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza

GENEVA (AP) — A team of independent experts commissioned by the United Nations’ Human Rights Council has concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, issuing a report Tuesday that calls on the international community to end the genocide and take steps to punish those responsible for it. The deeply-documented findings by the three-member team are the latest accusations of genocide against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government by rights advocates as Israeli carries on with its war against Hamas in Gaza that has killed tens of thousands of people. Israel rejected what it called a “distorted and false” report. The Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Israel, which was created four years ago, has repeatedly documented alleged human rights abuses and violations both in Gaza since the deadly Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in Israel led by Hamas, and other Palestinian areas.

New UN commission report just dropped:

Israel is committing genocide.
