@mommunism.bsky.social The situation is getting worse and you don't feel it. Your hearts don't care and don't feel for us. We are dying of hunger, bombing, and thirst. There is no life in Gaza, no security, and no peace. We want your support. #Notoindifference🙏😭 tinyurl.com/Ruba2

American peace activist Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi would've turned 27 today. But Israeli forces killed her 11 months ago. Both Biden & Trump did nothing to seek accountability. Instead the US sent Israel $12 billion in weapons & another $4 billion in aid. And then Israeli settlers killed another American.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

These are crimes. They're committing crimes. And when people understandably protest the fact that they're committing crimes, they're shooting flashbangs at them.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

One attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said ICE officials slated several of her clients for check-ins at the Edward R. Roybal Federal Building in downtown L.A. but when they showed up on Tuesday, they were detained and immediately escorted to the basement. Mateo said a couple and their two children, one of whom is a U.S. citizen, spent the night in a room with no beds and limited access to food and water. Mateo said the father had previously been issued a stay of removal, barring him from deportation but he and his family were detained anyway. His wife was released Wednesday evening along with their children since she needed medical attention due to a high-risk pregnancy. He was still being detained early Friday, Mateo said.

It should be the shame of the world's governments that a civilian ship is rescuing Sudanese migrants (from other governments who might kill or jail or displace them) and attempting to break a genocidal blockade while they just sit and watch and send money and weapons for more genocide.

The Gaza flotilla has rescued four Sudanese migrants attempting to evade the Libyan coast guard. Remarkable. x.com/rimahas/stat...

Google translate: 4 people threw themselves into the sea when the Libyan Coast Guard intervened, we were able to rescue them, they are with us on our boat
