BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out after being released from ICE detention.

"The Trump administration are doing their best to dehumanize everyone here," Khalil said.

Folks, it’s time to get real for a minute.

The organization I work for, @theprogressreport.ca is in dire financial straits right now.

The departure of our co-founder, editor, investigative reporter and top fundraiser Duncan Kinney in February left a big hole in our organization.

Tough news on the local front. Our historic rape and murder factory burned down. They didn't use it for rape and murder anymore but a lot of people liked to get their senior photos taken there for some reason. Our economy is devastated

Why aren’t you wearing a suit?

Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

We need to understand as Canadians that we could easily go further down this road, given the retribution and intentional harm towards people who have spoken in support of Palestinians. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

There are likely good arguments to be made about doxxing and whatnot. But even a list with names redacted could be very beneficial to show people what others in their field are making, and to have a base from which to advocate and fight for more.

The Sunshine List is good & I will die on this hill. It is weaponized by people of bad faith but it’s one of the *only* real baselines we have to for class, income + value of work. I think it should be everyone. It should be for people $0 to ∞

Kennedy Curse when

Israel claims they are fighting a war on seven fronts. They are:

• Babies & children
• Unarmed civilians
• Journalists & the truth
• Medics & aid workers
• Human rights
• International law
• Our collective humanity

Two different groups requested to the council in Berlin to have marches. One was permitted, the other only allowed a rally, which the police ended early with arrests. The permitted march was for literal Nazis, the one closed down for an end to genocide. Germany is so fucked.

Unpopular curmudgeonly opinion: the Calgary Stampede is a has-been colonial male-dominated event that is well past its best-by date. 🤠👎🏼

israel is committing genocide against palestine and the foundation of the united states is being torn apart to punish the people who think this is bad.

Israel Lied About Murdered Children To Justify Murdering Children Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

Israel Lied About Murdered Children To Justify Murdering Children

Israel resumed its genocidal campaign of annihilation in Gaza early Tuesday morning, killing hundreds in a matter of hours, including many children.

BREAKING: The US Justice Department is examining whether student protests at Columbia University over the genocide in Gaza violated federal terrorism laws, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said today.

Jewish groups targeted Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil — then ICE arrested him Pro-Israel Jewish groups targeted Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of Columbia University, days before ICE agents arrested him.

How did Mahmoud Khalil become the first student targeted for deportation by the Trump administration?

He showed up at a protest last week without a mask.

"The guy was making it too easy for us," a pro-Israel activist who has been compiling a protester database told me.
