Rashid Khalidi ends his open letter to the President of Columbia with this sentence: "Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, a crime in which Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit."

Israel already released Yinon Levi just one day after he murdered Awdah Hathaleen

Sanctioning individuals does not do anything. The state of Israel as a whole must be sanctioned.

200 NGOs Oppose Biden's Historic Expansion of ICE Detention System: "Detention should not be about politics." - National Immigrant Justice Center After President Biden signed a 2024 spending bill that provides $3.4 billion for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to jail 41,500 immigrants per day, 200 NGOs delivered a letter to the White Ho...

They're not J6ers. They're not private bounty hunters. They are your average, incompetent federal employees of ICE, CBP, and DHS HSI.

And thousands more of them were hired thanks to Biden and Harris increasing their funding by $3 billion so that deportation operations could be expanded.

Children are being openly starved to death and the fascists at the head of the Israeli government are openly talking about concentration camps. These are the exact same actors that were in charge under Biden, and they declared their genocidal intent from day 1.

Israel is starving Gaza. It’s a cheap, silent and brutal way to kill | Ahmed Moor Starvation is a slow, painful way to die. And unlike bombs and tanks, it’s easy for western leaders to ignore

"Beyond being inexpensive to implement, starvation makes little noise. For those who seek to silence their victims …and obscure their actions, starvation is a useful tool. There are no bomb craters, no burning children or journalists. There are only emaciated corpses." Ahmed Moor in The Guardian

It’s not just Trump, the EU is also waging an anti-migration crusade The European Union’s border control policies may not be as visible as Trump’s but they are just as brutal.

"While the world’s attention is focusing on Trump’s anti-migration spectacle, the European Union is quietly carrying out its own crackdown. Its policies are far less visible, yet they are just as ruthless."

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp.

The world is watching.

History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

This image is a screenshot of a social media post from an account named "Donald J. Trump" (@realDonaldTrump). The post states that federal funding will be stopped for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. It further mentions that agitators will be imprisoned or deported, American students will be expelled or arrested, and that masks will not be allowed. The post has engagement metrics showing 1.61k "ReTruths" and 5.81k "Likes," and it is timestamped March 4, 2025, at 7:30 AM. The profile picture of the account features an American flag design over a circular object.

This is a blatant violation of the 1st Amendment but a lot of cowards in academia will use this as an excuse to crack down on campus protest.

The growth of the fascist AfD is disturbing indeed, and most certainly helped along by the conservatives, greens and social democrats giving them wind with their talk of mass deportations and implicit stance that "Muslim lives don't matter" from Germany to the Mediterranean Sea to Gaza.

Happening now: Israeli tanks have entered the northern West Bank after 40,000 Palestinians were expelled from three refugee camps in the Jenin & Tulkarm areas. There's a real and present danger that these camps will be erased. This genocide must be stopped. By us all. Now!

recent national political discourse pretty conclusively shows how U.S. crime and punishment politics are really a question of which people with which racial positions are allowed to do as they like. liberal pundits should have learned this when the "felon" label failed to do any work for them

the party was led by a career senator who pushed the GOP to the right on CJ policy and then a career prosecutor who self identified as "top cop." a literal army of federal prosecutors and prosecutor-executives couldn't stop "felon" fascism--after all, where do you think the fascism comes from?
