I found this video really moving, it reminded me of the many professors who put themselves in harm's way to protect their students during the encampments for Palestine, but I can't really think of an elected official here in the US doing the same

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Georgia is executing Stacey Humphreys on Wednesday and I can't believe how little coverage the case is getting. The whole legal commentariat weighed in on what happens when a juror didn't follow the rules in the Clancy trial, meanwhile GA is about to kill someone whose juror did the same & MUCH more

I'll again note that the folks willing to sign a letter supporting a raging eugenicist (purportedly in defense of his academic freedom to be racist) aren't nearly as motivated when it comes to *actual* threats to academic freedom, like this.

This morning in Danbury, ICE was arresting parents at school bus stops. But it’s more sinister. ICE waited until the kids were on the bus so when they are dropped off at the end of the day, they are alone, scared to death they can’t find their parents. I’m heading to Danbury.

I am glad people are increasingly aware of and angry about how we detain ppl in ICE facilities. But. There is one thing I think we need to REALLY make sure they get. This is not abt ICE. Or the Feds. Or private prisons. Our ENTIRE SYSTEM is like this. All the time. State, local, public, private.

ICE OUT of 35 HARRISON!
Tribeca residents believe ICE is parking at ICON's garage at 35 Harrison Street in Independence Plaza, NYC.

What do we know?
• The garage is federally contracted and closed to the public. HSI (Homeland Security Investigations - a division of ICE) routinely parks vehicles there.
• Currently this garage holds a fleet of brand new, unlicensed SUVs - exactly the type ICE uses for abductions, and which could quickly be deployed in an ICE surge.
• 35 Harrison is .6 miles from ICE's headquarters at 26 Federal Pl. and just 1 mile from the ICE Field Office at 201 Varick St. - both launching pads for kidnapping our neighbors.
• MAGA billionaire Steven Roth is CEO of Vornado which owns Independence Plaza

The Trump admin's latest strategy to mass generate removal orders is diabolical: - Take a huge group of people with hearings scheduled in late 2026, 2027, or 2028. - Send them a physical letter rescheduling all of their cases to next week. - Those who inevitably miss court get ordered deported.

Is this translated from the original German? www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...
Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller made clear there must be no retreat: “One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is its completely pre-textual and disingenuous appeal to civil liberties in an effort to shield its own violence… When the leftist — who does not believe in freedom, who does not believe in civil rights, who does not believe in any ordinary notion of justice — protests that we are violating his rights, understand the he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization.”

🔴 Six Palestinians Killed in Gaza on Monday, Including Three Children and a Woman, as Israel Keeps Violating Ceasefire

🔸 A father and his child: 
Hakim Muhammad al-Hubail and his child were killed in an Israeli drone strike while filling water on the roof of their home in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood of Gaza City.

🔸 A tailor’s tent: 
Saleh Khalifa was killed when an Israeli drone struck a sewing tent in front of al-Razi School in Camp 2 of the Nuseirat refugee camp, in central Gaza, wounding several others.

🔸 A child shot and detained: 
Ryan Baha Abu al-Ajin arrived dead at al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital alongside his wounded father, hours after Israeli forces shot and detained the two in the Wadi al-Salqa area southeast of Deir al-Balah. The troops held them before releasing them on Salah al-Din Road, and the boy was pronounced dead of his wounds.🔸 A third child: 
Riad Abdullah Qadoum has succumbed to injuries suffered in an Israeli strike on Gaza City days earlier, bringing the family’s death toll to four children and their father.

🔸 A woman killed near a mosque: 
Nadia Kamal Ayash was killed and several people wounded when an Israeli drone targeted them near the Abdul Rahman bin Auf Mosque in the town of al-Zawayda.

Israeli forces also continued blowing up homes in eastern Gaza City amid intense warplane and surveillance-drone activity, and fired heavily in Khan Younis alongside sustained artillery shelling, local reports said.

The Gaza Health Ministry said 986 Palestinians have been killed and 3,138 wounded since Israel began breaching the October 11, 2025 ceasefire. The minimum cumulative death toll since the start of the genocidal war on October 7, 2023, has surpassed 72,996 killed and 173,246 wounded.
