All OK. But please do still take action! Put Israel on Notice and demand that states take action to guarantee “Madleen” safe passage. bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice
At approx 11:10pm tonight, a drone hovered above the Madleen, while in international waters, 80 nautical miles south of Greece. Thankfully, it passed without incident. Our ground team is investigating.

TAKE ACTION 👇🏽 DEMAND Israel refrain from threatening or attacking the #FreedomFlotilla
#Gaza
Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

Essential journalism: @aljazeera.com's The Take interviews human rights lawyer @huwaida.bsky.social about the orchestrated suffering in Gaza, Israel drone-bombing @freedomflotilla.bsky.social in int'l waters, and a call for aid trucks and the world to collectively disobey this murderous blockade

Update. Everyone aboard the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ship is OK, but at RISK. It’s nightfall again in Malta and the ship could be attacked again. The vessel is badly damaged and needs permission & assistance to dock at Maltese port. Malta currently preventing vessel from entering its waters.
As of this moment, the Maltese Coast Guard has not responded to the Freedom Flotilla’s SOS. 30 humanitarian aid volunteers are on board a civilian vessel in distress 17nm off the coast of Malta. If anything happens to them, in addition to Israel, Malta will be responsible. Contact info for PM.
BREAKING! One of the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ships has come under attack in international waters. Drones struck the front of the civilian vessel twice, causing a fire and breach in the hull. Drones are still circling the boat endangering the lives of the volunteers on board. #FreedomFlotilla
The Final Solution is underway in Gaza, and from world leaders we get only hollow platitudes.

International law is DEAD.
Humanity is DYING.
We’ve never seen a more open, unapologetic EVIL—mass slaughter, funded, justified & broadcast live for all to see.
History will remember.
And it will damn us.
Israel is deliberately starving 2 million people in Gaza-exterminating an entire population and not a single gov on Earth is acting to stop it.

This is like watching Nazis march people into gas chambers and choosing to look away. History is repeating itself. This time the entire world is complicit.
IF he committed a crime, then he will be held accountable in a court of law. ICE doesn't get to come in; snatch people, and deny them due process. The latter is not only breaking the law, it's trashing the Constitution.

Too many Christians are celebrating Easter and honoring the resurrection while enabling mass extermination.

Someone anonymously left these sweatshirts in a bag on my porch yesterday. The first line of unsigned note they included is chilling:

“The criminalization of protest makes my wife fear having these in our house.”

That sentence says so much about where we are right now as a country. #FightFascism
Rubio is presumably intending to rely on the same provision of the INS and claim that Mahdawi’s presence in the US purportedly harms the government’s foreign policy goal of fighting antisemitism. This is Mahdawi on 60 Minutes last year.

While judge Comans is bound by the Immigration & Nationality Act, she’s not required to overlook constitutional issues. The federal courts must see this for what it is—an attempt to silence speech critical of Israel. They want us silent in the face of genocide. #Shame
This makes it obvious that the justification given by Rubio is merely a pretext to silence speech.

The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that government may not restrict First Amendment activity under a false or pretextual justification, as this is.
However, this argument totally falls apart when you consider the tens of thousands of students and others protesting Israel’s genocide around the country and they’re not going to stop because foreign student participants are deported.
