The wife of a Methodist pastor stood up and suggested people brush up on the OSS sabotage manual
Jill Warren, the wife of a Methodist pastor, suggested residents brush up on the OSS’ Simple Sabotage Field Manual. “Simply slow things down bureaucratically," she said. “Make sure we block where we can. Use very slow agendas and response times and do, within your power, the work that you are entitled to do. For those who aren’t familiar with it, please look up the Simple Sabotage Field Manual and use it in your own lives of action as well [...] they may not care about us, but we care about us and we’re here and we’ll continue to be here and support the work that you’re doing on our behalf.”

“I told him, ‘I’m a U.S. citizen!’ He told me, ‘I don’t care.’” Everyone should read this account of an ICE raid on a home in Vermont. This is what secret police do. Great reporting from @sevendaysvt.bsky.social: www.sevendaysvt.com/news/teen-sh...
When federal immigration agents in riot gear broke down the door, José Estrada Jerez was sitting on the floor next to his uncle, their hands raised in surrender. 

Estrada Jerez, an 18-year-old U.S. citizen born in Honduras, said he had lived in the home on Dorset Street for only about two weeks when he was caught in the middle of a large and violent confrontation over immigration enforcement. Federal agents surrounded the home, looking for a Mexican man named Deyvi Daniel Corona Sanchez who they believed had run inside after a car chase.But when they eventually forced their way in after obtaining a search warrant, they found four people, none of whom was Corona Sanchez. In a firsthand account of the raid, Estrada Jerez told Seven Days that an agent picked him up by his arms, threw him on his stomach and handcuffed him. An agent then lifted him back up and searched his pockets, pulling out his U.S. passport card and his cellphone, he said.

“I told him, ‘I’m a U.S. citizen!’” Estrada Jerez recounted in an interview on Monday night. “He told me, ‘I don’t care.’”The occupants of the home never knew who ICE was looking for, nor that they had obtained a warrant, Estrada Jerez said. 

“Nobody in the house saw the warrant,” he said. “They just busted in the door, guns pointing everywhere.”

The agents pulled the two sisters from a bedroom out to the living room, Estrada Jerez said. All four were held there while agents searched the house. They demanded to know where Corona Sanchez was hiding, Estrada Jerez said. When they determined the man they sought wasn’t there, the agents arrested the two Ecuadorian sisters and Estrada Jerez’s uncle. They uncuffed Estrada Jerez and left him behind. He watched through the window as the others were taken through a screaming crowd to a waiting SUV. 

Estrada Jerez has not gotten his phone or ID back from the ICE agents. He said he has bruises on his arms from agents grabbing him.

A US firm (Boston Consulting Group) was paid $4M+ to model ethnically-cleansing 500,000 people from Gaza. This is the same firm that helped establish the 'aid' operation currently murdering Palestinians every single day. (They have now disavowed that depraved project.) www.ft.com/content/c0e6...

	The BCG team also built a financial model for the postwar reconstruction of Gaza, which included cost estimates for relocating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from the strip and the economic impact of such a mass displacement. One scenario estimated more than 500,000 Gazans would leave the enclave with “relocation packages” worth $9,000 per person, or around $5bn in total.
