Nothing about this is legal.
The US is quietly deporting Palestinians arrested by #ICE to the occupied West Bank via private jet owned by an Israeli-American property tycoon & friend of President Trump, with two such flights taking place in coordination w the Israel: www.972mag.com/us-secretly-...
After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

Yesssss! Like our gnome reading buddies today.
CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old.

I realize that dunking on the NYT is passé; but, motherfuckers, the reason Americans consume a shitton of weed is that it’s cheaper than the physical and mental healthcare we can’t afford.
The silence from the game broadcast crew when they returned was cowardly and very, very rude. They didn’t even acknowledge the show or the artist.

If you didn’t catch the significance of the exploding transformers in Bad Bunny’s halftime show, I gotcha. Here’s one of a bunch of pieces I wrote from/on Puerto Rico about the crisis—and Trump’s role in it. slate.com/news-and-pol...
OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
Rest in power Dr. Morrell. Thank you for your lessons in leadership, language as a craft, and the application of social justice as a literary lens.
Today is a great day to unsubscribe from WaPo if you've been holding out thus far
Beyond proud of the thousands of students exercising their rights today. And thank you to their teachers for reminding them of their right to protest, right to stay in class working if they choose, and right to freedom of speech.
It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day
Just because the media attention stopped doesn’t mean the abductions have
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

What is obvious to me is that a lot of people deeply care about their neighbors and this country.
They didn't think we would. We do.
California Ed code, SB 955 per 2023 protects students rights to protest and gives them one excused absence for political protesting.
Just FYI.
this is for some dear dear ones.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.
Started sending my kids (both of whom have Arabic first and last names) to school with copies of their birth certificates in their backpacks, in case you're wondering how things are going over here
We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.
It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.
This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.
In December, I traveled to Montgomery to visit the Legacy Museum, which traces the story of Black America from slavery to Jim Crow to mass incarceration. I wanted to understand how the museum & its affiliated sites were operating in a moment where so much of the history they present is under attack.
We are open: please wait for us to unlock the door. Thank you for your understanding
