Ahmed Shihab-Eldin is an American journalist. He’s been detained for 6 weeks in Kuwait under absurd laws. The Kuwaiti government must release our friend and colleague NOW. Journalism is not a crime. Sign the petition here: cpj.movements.mov/pet/kuwait-r... #FreeAhmed

An international counsel team acting on behalf of the two sisters of journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin is filing urgent appeals with United Nations experts, raising concerns about his arrest, prosecution and ongoing arbitrary detention. #freeahmed #freeahmedeldin #journalismisnotacrime
The Board of Immigration Appeals has issued a final administrative removal order against Mahmoud Khalil. His lawyers, who anticipated this, said it didn’t impact the status quo, they’ll appeal to the 5th Circuit, & that he cannot be detained while his habeas case is pending.
-sovereignty, accountability, just peace and collective liberation.
Let’s tell the truth and protect each other.
All the love to our Jewish and incredible allies. ❤️
Judaism is not Zionism. And many Jewish allies, alongside our community and so many allies—courageous, grounded, and deeply committed to justice—have been essential to moving the fight for Palestinian liberation forward in ways that are imperative to our fight for freedom-
What we’re seeing now is familiar: distortion designed to fracture solidarity and stoke harm, including anti-Jewish hate. We don’t have to go along with it.
I’ve worked alongside them. I know where they stand. Their support for Palestinian freedom isn’t new, performative, or convenient—it’s been clear, consistent, and grounded in principle long before this moment.
Ezra and Leah, founders of Indivisible, are non-Zionist, Jewish allies of our community—and the attempt to erase their allyship and support says more about those trying to divide us than it does about Ezra and Leah.
Some of you are probably thinking “Another protest!?”
Well, yes! This No Kings Day on March 28 is more important than ever. Here's why.

Horizontal bar chart showing new first-time Gen Z donors (under 30) by campaign, through 2025. Abughazaleh leads with 3,164, followed by the DSCC (1,880), DCCC (734), Jeffries (273), Biss (17), Fine (7), and Schumer (3). Abughazaleh's bar is highlighted in blue; all others are gray.
@katmabu.bsky.social narrowly lost the IL-09 primary last night. But here's a number worth sitting with. Her campaign brought in more first-time Gen Z donors than Jeffries, Schumer, the DSCC, and the DCCC, and her primary opponents combined. This is why campaigns like hers matter.
Mark Ruffalo has a message for you:

Huh. So it's unclear who's funding this campaign to pay influencers to attack Kat Abughazaleh.
But the guy coordinating also has a company called Advocators AI, which just won an award for work for…Daniel Biss — her opponent.
One of the campaigns the company boasts about promotes trips to Israel.
🧵 Hi, I'm the RoundTable reporter who wrote the story about this poll. Ms. Amiwala has misunderstood the methodology of our polls, and I would like to explain why. TL;DR: Quality control ensures that submitting the poll multiple times immediately disqualifies all of the responses from being counted.
Do you want a leader or a follower representing you?
This ad shows her getting attacked by ICE as she protested.
I was there.
I saw what happened.
It was worse than these clips show, and her bravery was obvious.
After tear gas and pepper balls, after getting thrown to the ground, when the gas cleared she sat at that very spot, and started knitting.
NEW: A group of Hollywood execs are running a smear campaign against "The Voice of Hind Rajab" to stop it from winning an Oscar.
The group has ties to the Israeli government & received support from foundations of Russian oligarch Len Blavatnik & Casey Wasserman (both featured in the Epstein Files).
In fact, David Trone is on the record against the very Obama-era deal meant to ensure Iran never developed a nuclear weapon: the JCPOA.
“I would have voted against the deal” he said in a 2018 interview.
This isn’t the leadership we need.

We had a deal with Iran to avoid nuclear proliferation—Trump tore it up.
If the US-Israel attack on Iran was for deterrence, why’d they hit a girl’s elementary school, killing 148?
Yes, only Congress can authorize war. But Delaney misses the point: we need to fund schools, not murder kids abroad.
LEAKED: First attack ad against Kat Abughazaleh
“I’ve never protested before - but I just watched 4th & 5th grade kids run away from our own government.” 😕🇺🇸💔

NEWS: AIPAC has a new opponent. PAL PAC.
As Netanyahu comes to DC yet again – while public opinion tanks on Israel – @votepalpac.bsky.social launches today, seeking to end the Israel lobby's hold over US politics.
It's endorsing 4 current members, with more endorsements & primary challenges ahead.

Full Bad Bunny speech
The documents, shared in Walberg's letter, include text messages between former NU President Michael Schill and mega donor Michael Sacks
Sacks: "I know Biss well. If the wind blows the wrong way he will throw you under the bus. No hesitation. Jan [Schakowsky] too."
And he WILL be brought to justice.
It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words.
If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?
"A dangerous precedent:"
The Israeli gov.'s demolition of UNRWA's headquarters "undermines the rule of law and the protections afforded to refugees and to all humanitarian and diplomatic missions worldwide," the agency's U.S. director warns.
Talked with @advocate.com about our campaign, why I’m running, and how transphobia and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment are part of the foundation of Trump’s fascist regime.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
