It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

This didn’t start 2 years ago.
The world has watched decades of dispossession, occupation, and genocide - in silence, in complicity.
End the genocide.
Freedom and justice for Palestine.
🇵🇸🍉

A textured protest poster with bold, hand-cut lettering lists: “77 years since the Nakba, 58 years of occupation, 18 years of blockade, 2 years of genocidal escalation.” Behind the text is a brown silhouette of Palestine. Below, a large pink watermelon slice fills the lower half of the poster, its black seeds forming the word “Resist.” A white dove carrying an olive branch flies across the watermelon.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.

Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:

“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their father’s whereabouts.

When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, “I don’t care”.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.
