At approx 11:10pm tonight, a drone hovered above the Madleen, while in international waters, 80 nautical miles south of Greece. Thankfully, it passed without incident. Our ground team is investigating. TAKE ACTION 👇🏽 DEMAND Israel refrain from threatening or attacking the #FreedomFlotilla #Gaza

Gaza Freedom Flotilla Coalition@freedomflotilla.bsky.social · last yr.

Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

As of this moment, the Maltese Coast Guard has not responded to the Freedom Flotilla’s SOS. 30 humanitarian aid volunteers are on board a civilian vessel in distress 17nm off the coast of Malta. If anything happens to them, in addition to Israel, Malta will be responsible. Contact info for PM.

BREAKING! One of the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ships has come under attack in international waters. Drones struck the front of the civilian vessel twice, causing a fire and breach in the hull. Drones are still circling the boat endangering the lives of the volunteers on board. #FreedomFlotilla

The Final Solution is underway in Gaza, and from world leaders we get only hollow platitudes. International law is DEAD. Humanity is DYING. We’ve never seen a more open, unapologetic EVIL—mass slaughter, funded, justified & broadcast live for all to see. History will remember. And it will damn us.

Israel is deliberately starving 2 million people in Gaza-exterminating an entire population and not a single gov on Earth is acting to stop it. This is like watching Nazis march people into gas chambers and choosing to look away. History is repeating itself. This time the entire world is complicit.

Someone anonymously left these sweatshirts in a bag on my porch yesterday. The first line of unsigned note they included is chilling: “The criminalization of protest makes my wife fear having these in our house.” That sentence says so much about where we are right now as a country. #FightFascism

Rubio is presumably intending to rely on the same provision of the INS and claim that Mahdawi’s presence in the US purportedly harms the government’s foreign policy goal of fighting antisemitism. This is Mahdawi on 60 Minutes last year. m.youtube.com/watch?v=grj3...

A Palestinian student at Columbia University went into a Vermont immigration office hoping to begin the final step to becoming a US citizen. But instead of having an interview, Mohsen Mahdawi – who’s been in the United States for a decade – was taken away in handcuffs.

The gov presented NO evidence that #MahmoudKhalil is guilty of what they accuse him of. The basis for this ruling is an obscure sec of the Immigration Act that allows the Sec of State to determine that an immigrant’s presence in the country could have adverse affect on foreign policy.

ohhh hmmm... interesting. More than 100 former Israeli spies and IDF soldiers work for tech giant Meta, including its head of AI policy, who served in the IDF under an Israeli government scheme that allows non-Israelis to volunteer for the Israeli army.

eta’s hiring of over 100 former Israeli spies and soldiers, many with ties to Unit 8200, has sparked major questions about the company’s commitment to free speech. Among those recruited is Shira Anderson, Meta’s AI policy chief, an American lawyer who volunteered for the Israeli army under the infamous Garin Tzabar program. This program allows non-Israelis to join the Israeli military. Anderson served as a non-commissioned officer in the Israeli army and wrote propaganda reports, linking her closely to military efforts in Gaza.

This is outrageous! Immigrants are entitled to full First Amendment protections. This is an assault on the very foundations of our Constitution. If we don’t stop this now, citizens will be next. To be clear, this isn’t about combatting antisemitism, it’s about shielding Israel from criticism.

What kind of world lets this happen? And there are people who celebrate this. Applaud it. Justify it. The depths of this cruelty are unfathomable. It is not just hatred—it is a total collapse of humanity. A black hole where conscience should be. #Gaza #Genocide
