“It’s a scary moment, but it’s also a moment that bears no equivocation. At this point you are either on the side of protecting our neighbors and protecting our community, or you’re on the side of this administration. There is no neutral ground in this moment. There’s no center left. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit.” - Eman Abdelhadi

A local diner was raided by ICE and 14 people were kidnapped, and most of the locals seem more concerned with where they're going to get their hashbrowns than with anything else.

Unfriendly reminder that immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants don't owe you labor to deserve respect.

If it took 8 days to build a massive concentration camp in Florida then it means they could build and house the homeless at any point but choose not to

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

On Parenthood and Genocide A new mother and scholar of forced displacement writes about Israel's mass murder of Palestinian children in Gaza.

Another Mother’s Day, another day of mothers witnessing the genocide of their children, their starvation, another day of global apathy.

Motherhood is my favorite thing I’ve done, but what is there to celebrate when they’re killing our children?

The Attorney General shall pursue all necessary legal remedies and enforcement measures to enforce the rights of Americans impacted by crime and shall prioritize prosecution of any applicable violations of Federal criminal law with respect to State and local jurisdictions whose officials: (a) willfully and unlawfully direct the obstruction of criminal law, including by directly and unlawfully prohibiting law enforcement officers from carrying out duties necessary for public safety and law enforcement; or (b) unlawfully engage in discrimination or civil-rights violations under the guise of “diversity, equity, and inclusion” initiatives that restrict law enforcement activity or endanger citizens."

Friends the situation now in Gaza is more dire than ever before. The ceasefire has ended, people are being starved, and their tormentors are behaving with even more impunity, somehow.
