It's right to be outraged. Just as it's right to be outraged when ICE guns someone down. But I also want us to remember all of the people dying due to deplorable conditions in prisons, jails, and immigration detention centers, bc they are also being murdered by the state.

Police murdered a Black man in the street in Madison WI today. Shot point blank in the head while on the ground, tased, and surrounded by four cops. It looks like an execution. Multiple videos circulating online. Things are about to get very bad here.

@DarializaforNY
 in May.

BOLD America has spent another $2.2 million in June. 

That means AIPAC likely funneled at least $2.2 million in the last 2.5 weeks into the race.
 
#NY13's biggest spenders.

⭕️ Gaza Slides Back Toward Famine as Community Kitchens Run Dry

Displaced Palestinians in Khan Younis took to the streets banging empty pots this week to protest cuts to food aid, as Gaza risks sliding back toward famine, Ultra Palestine reported.

The communal kitchens that thousands rely on for a daily hot meal are buckling under Israel’s aid restrictions, collapsing funding, and depleted stocks, even as the number of hungry grows. 

Families who lost their incomes during the war can no longer afford the scarce food that is often on the shelves. The UN humanitarian office has called Gaza “the hungriest place on earth.”

The October ceasefire pushed back the famine confirmed in Gaza Governorate last August, but the latest IPC assessment still places all of Gaza’s governorates in Emergency, the phase below famine, with 1.6 million people, 77% of the population, facing acute food insecurity. 

UN and major humanitarian agencies warn those fragile gains “could vanish overnight” and hundreds of thousands could rapidly slip back into famine without sustained funding and access. More from Oxfam’s Gaza expert below 👇

up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

Part of this is definitely that China stopped buying US soybeans, soy farmers are desperately trying to unload their stock and thus every food manufacturer is getting a glut of cheap soy protein to add to whatever they can.

A lot of cultural critics don’t organize. Which is fine cuz we need good cultural criticism and it’s part of the work. But it’s not the same as being involved in organizing or being a political strategist. Yet it’s often circulated as such.

MEDIA ADVISORY for Tuesday, April 7, 2026

LOS ANGELES CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEYS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZER FILE LAWSUIT AFTER BEING SHOT WITH 40MM "RUBBER BULLETS" BY LAPD OFFICER

Colleen Flynn, Law Office of Colleen Flynn Jacob Loup, Law Office of Jacob Loup

WHAT: Press conference to announce the filing of a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Police Department officers for unlawfully targeting and shooting civil rights attorneys and a community organizer with 40mm "less lethal" rubber bullets during an anti-ICE protest.
On June 9, 2025, community organizer Jason Reedy and civil rights attorneys Ricci Sergienko and Shakeer Rahman were attending a protest against ICE when they observed LAPD Officer Rick Linton aiming a 40mm rubber bullet launcher at non-violent protesters.

Rahman in the groin. Reedy, Sergienko, Rahman, and their attorneys bring this lawsuit to hold LAPD and Officer Linton accountable for his outrageous, unlawful, and targeted acts of violence against them.
