Palestina libre🇵🇸🫀J. Adrian Castrejón FUCK ICE

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

This year? More CHILDREN have died, not due to cancer, but due to Israel

No bomb should’ve ever dropped on a single civilian, a single child.

If this is the end of them I’m glad.

But the loss is so so immense and the future so uncertain.

What does “peace” mean when it sits atop a genocide? What peace when the genocider dictates its terms?

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead The children’s names below appear on a list of victims of Israel’s offensive in Gaza, maintained by health authorities in the territory. As of the end of July it ran to 60,199 names, of whom 18,457 were under 18s. Far from comprehensive, the list does not include the thousands still buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings, as well as the war’s many indirect victims As of the end of July there were 18,457 children named on the long official list of Palestinian victims of Israel’s war in Gaza. Over almost two years, that is equivalent to bombs, bullets and shells killing a boy or girl every hour of every day. In reality the deaths are not spaced out so evenly. Siblings, cousins and playmates are often killed together, by an airstrike or artillery shell. Even children shot by snipers or quadcopters are sometimes brought into hospitals in groups, doctors say. Continue reading...

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

I work in a shelter that receives released detainees. I can vouch for the fact that this is how people are treated. It's cruel, inhumane and evil. The agents who treat people this way should rot in hell.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.
It is our duty to win.
We must love each other and support each other.
We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

Assata Shakur, rest in power.

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

All about federal contracts that he’s giving out to the world’s most horrific companies like candy. This is the piece of shit who innovated family separation as an “immigration deterrent.”

An anti-ICE flyer hanging in the window of the bookstore.

Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!

The situation at the immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has gotten so bad that detainees have been on a hunger strike for over ten straight days.

Palestinians being starved by Israel and the US and Egypt (etc etc) in search of the little food left in the soup kitchens and donation centres are forced first to queue
and then to fight.

They are starving our people to force our people to fight one another for survival.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

In Gaza, ten children per day lose one or both of their legs due to Israeli bombings.

More than 875 Palestinians have been killed trying to get aid for their families in recent weeks.

Unimaginable, unending cruelty.

An open letter from the presidents of Gaza universities Our campuses may have been razed, but our universities continue to exist.

🚨 In this open letter, the presidents of Gaza's universities are asking us all in the academic world to step up. LET'S GO!

"The time for symbolic solidarity has passed. We now ask for practical, structured, and enduring partnership"

ISRAEL MURDERED 114 PALESTINIANS IN GAZA TODAY

ISRAEL KILLED AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE IN GAZA TODAY.

The “IDF” is the leading engine of mass death and destruction in the world today. Its actions defy humanity, decency, and every notion of moral conduct.

Or, hear me out, the masked gang has always been “the law.” This is consistent with US history where our police emerged from slave patrols; where our prisons are new plantations.

Abolition is the answer.

STORY TIME:

ICE rolled up.
The city of Bell, California said,
“Not today!”

The three electeds at this press conference for the JVP hunger strike are all Latino/a. Our fight against ICE and our fight for Gaza is the same fight. Our solidarity is stronger than empire.

We feed you.
They hunt us.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Israel has literally announced their final solution to eradicate the Palestinians of Gaza and I have to keep pretending to care about my job?

The Justice Department ended a decades-old school desegregation order. Others are expected to fall The Justice Department is lifting a school desegregation order in Louisiana dating to the Civil Rights Movement, calling its continued existence a “historical wrong” and suggesting that others across ...

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.
