I am calling for the arrest and prosecution of the ICE agent that shot and killed Renee Good. I am also calling on Congress to support my bill with @jasmineforus.bsky.social to force ICE agents to wear body cameras, not wear masks, have visible identification & ensure ICE has independent oversight.

Measles infection was often actually

that their children were "getting" it, could take care of the sufferers, and, when the child was cured, the pa-rente could feel that the youngster

Modern science has pointed out the grave danger of such a practice.

Assuming you engage with electoral politics at all, are you a DSA member? I was for a minute but it just didn’t resonate with me at the time. It remains probably the closest to my orientation though.

@mattpolprof.bsky.social I just finished reading TPTOLS and it was really enlightening. I’m curious to learn more about the overlap between Liberal Socialism and Democratic Socialism, to the extent the Venn diagram isn’t a circle.

I am calling for Wilmer’s immediate release from NWIPC—he has NO criminal convictions, he poses no threat to the community, and he urgently needs appropriate medical care since ICE is denying him the treatment he requires. I am grateful for Wilmer’s willingness to let me share his story.

That's a good point. It's indicative of the ingrained view of Jews as the only legitimate 'victims'; Palestinian suffering is always brought on themselves.

Great, another one who saw “The Hunger Games” and thought Coriolanus Snow was the hero. I like how the author of that article described Boyle’s glaring hypocrisy as having “a life that’s a tangle of contradictions”.

We know more about the massive military-style raid on a Chicago housing complex thanks to the reporting of @southsideweekly.bsky.social, @blockclubchi.bsky.social, and neighborhood resident Eboni Watson who chronicled the event. Among the emerging questions: what's real estate's role in this?

section of text from South Side Weekly's coverage, which says: "The building was purchased by Wisconsin-based investor Trinity Flood in January 2020, according to Cook County records. On October 1, the day after the raid, a judge reviewed an emergency motion from Wells Fargo seeking to appoint Matthew Tarshis of Frontline Real Estate Partners as the property’s receiver.

Flood purchased three multifamily properties in South Shore in 2020. The neighborhood, which had the highest number of eviction filings in Chicago from 2015-2019 according to the Law Center for Better Housing, has seen a rise in outside real estate investors since the 2017 announcement of the Obama Presidential Center’s construction in the neighboring Jackson Park.

Wells Fargo Bank foreclosed on the building in mid-2024, bringing a $27 million lawsuit against Flood for missed loan payments. In late 2024, the City began closing its largest migrant shelters and, through state funding assistance distributed via Catholic Charities and moving support from New Life Church, relocated many families to buildings such as this one."

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

Thanks! As an average monolingual American I have nothing but respect. Back to the piece, I don't much like the phrase 'virtue signaling' but it seems like at least a distant cousin of 'wank' if not more closely related. Thoughts on that?

Good advice, but a tool or service that makes that easier could be a great project. If anyone decides to do it, apply to the T4P incubator (techforpalestine.org/incubator/) and maybe we can help!

The author cites the evacuation and destruction of Rafah in May, 2024 as what flipped his opinion, but genocide and holocaust scholar Raz Segal came to that conclusion (written in "A Textbook Case of Genocide") after the evacuation of a million people from North Gaza TO Rafah on October 13, 2023.

It is insane that some are still talking about the casualties on October 7, when in *just the past four months* (since breaking the ceasefire), Israel has killed nearly 6x as many Palestinians as died on that day.

Honestly at this point it seems very obviously more antisemitic to continue supporting Israel. Hard to imagine being proud to be Jewish while a genocidal state keeps insisting they are doing it for the Jews.
