This is reprehensible. We must not stand by while an entire population is starved and terrorized and politicized to death.
At least 62 Palestinians killed across enclave in Israeli attacks, as two more malnutrition deaths are recorded.

As a #campcounselor and #paddlesports instructor for over 20 years, I can't remember the last time I capsized unintentionally. And I never go out on the water without my #lifejacket, making sure it's adjusted properly. Be safe on the water, friends, and wear your #PFD!

At some point I will have the capacity to post #insightful and #justiceoriented content. For now, though, enjoy this pic of a little visitor who came to our garden today! I think it's an #americantoad, which is apparently also a type of #frog. #getoutside

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.
I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

This headline is nonsensical. White supremacist rhetoric has bred more violence in the United States than any other form of rhetoric.

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens.
Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak.
We are on a path towards dictatorship.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.
