The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

The Board of Peace Is an Abject Failure, and Palestinians Are Paying the Price
It promised to bring ‘everlasting peace’: Gaza was to be rebuilt; military operations halted; ‘full aid’ given; and an International Stabilisation Force set up. It has failed on every count.

The Trump administration cut funding to the World Food Programme, forcing it to cut back its food aid program in the Palestinian West Bank—leaving about 200,000 Palestinians without assistance. Trump is a partner in Israel’s oppression of Palestinians.

Lack of funding has forced the World Food Programme (WFP) to slash aid to families in the West Bank by half even though needs have more than doubled over the past two years.
