You hear massacres, mass intentional starvation, total destruction of all homes, land and institutions w a declared intent to totally remove a people and think, “not bad enough” … Some of us think “too much! maybe we can still stop this.”
I’m glad I’m of one of those. I’m sorry you’re not.

The British media outlet ITV also went on a Jordanian airdrop and simply ignored the Israeli government’s illiberal demands:

In my book, I show that an eviction can ruin someone's life *even if it never happens.* A mere eviction FILING—even one dismissed in court—can destroy your credit and lock you out of housing for years.

That's why I say people aren't "falling" into homelessness. They're being pushed.

Every year both city and state budgets cut social services, and then everyone has to spend a stupid amount of time begging for the funding back. That advocacy is literally uncompensated too.

Far-right militias adored the Constitution. Then came Trump. Right-wing activists have long warned of the coming federal invasion. Where are they now that it's happened?

Right, because, as I argue repeatedly in my book, this was all never about "federal power." It's really more about anti-democracy.

Here’s a good starter pack of lefty-Jews - nearly all of whom have been extremely vocal leaders around misuse of antisemitism and the fascist attack on protests and universities.

“If this is not the time to have those hard conversations and to take those risks, when is?” - Audrey Sasson, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social Executive Director

I and many of the thousands here have been doing that this whole time? In fact, we’re often who they are targeting. Not sure why you’re commenting here as if that’s a new thing?

Thousands of NY Jews demand an end to genocide, an end to mass starvation, and end to occupation.
Never Again.

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

There is a threat looming on the horizon that'll fundamentally threaten the stats' integrity.

POTUS is pushing to convert many BLS & other positions now managed on technical expertise & merit (firing requires just cause) into politically-controlled jobs (at pols' will).

LA bus operators vow to shut doors on ICE to keep immigrant riders safe Bus operators and riders aren’t waiting on Metro to enact protections for immigrants, they’re sharing know-your-rights information and shielding riders from ICE.

Part of our job is to make sure everyone is safe,” said Jaime a bus operator for over a year, “Once [ICE is] on our buses we don’t know what’s going to happen. That risks everyone’s safety." ~

When you strip away humanity

TEXAS: “History will not remember you kindly! You should all be ashamed!”

Congressional candidate @isaiahrmartin.bsky.social TACKLED to the ground as he extends his comments ripping a redistricting power grab by Republicans at Abbott/Trump’s orders, shamelessly using a tragic flood as cover.

How did New Yorkers rank their mayoral candidates? The data is in. Gothamist analyzes New York City Board of Elections data on how voters ranked candidates on their ballots last month.

There are many of us! Deeply committed to safety and thriving through collective solidarity- in our neighborhoods and in Palestine and everywhere else! We’ve always been here - organizing with other Jews and deeply as part of larger movements - but have been erased.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders? A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Best activism tip I've ever received, shared once again: find the people who have already been doing the work for decades and ask them what they need, rather than launching your own bespoke advocacy project about an issue that's new for you.

Aid Groups Blame Israel’s Gaza Restrictions for ‘Mass Starvation’

The distance between what is in happening Gaza, fully backed with US dollars and political support, and the reaction of American politicians who by and large just don’t seem to care or support it is just completely brain-breaking.

www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/w...

Imagine someone who refuses to condemn our closest ally inflicting mass starvation on a population of two million civilians on our dime, demanding that someone else condemn a slogan he doesn’t even use.

“There is no case since World War II of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled”

The plainclothes goon squad The aesthetics of ICE—puff-chested and average bro—do more than shroud Trump’s immigration cops in secrecy.

What kind of person grows up to be an ICE agent?

To understand the appeal, it helps to look at our culture's "boys will be boys" excuse for bad behavior—playground taunts and racist "jokes"—with ICE's plainclothes goon aesthetic as cover.

"The guys who roam around America's dead malls."

Officials say 85 Palestinians seeking aid are killed in Gaza as Israel widens evacuation orders Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 85 Palestinians have been killed while trying to reach food on the deadliest day yet for aid-seekers in over 21 months of war

Deliberately starving people and shooting them when they seek aid is an industrial and systemic approach to mass murder.

Should government officials be allowed to conceal their identity from and terrorize the public? It depends whom you ask.
