'There is no evidence Israel's far-right has given up on its expansionist aspirations. The Israeli military is still in control of 58% of Gaza, not to mention the WB. Back in March, Israel violated the ceasefire agreement it had helped author when its aims shifted, on Trump’s clock.'

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration on behalf of four D.C. residents for its practice of illegal arrests of immigrants in the District. Since August, federal agents in D.C. have arrested hundreds of immigrants with no warrants and no legal justification. 1/ 🧵
A white background with a photo of protestors with low transparency set against it, and D.C. flag imagery at the top. The text of the image reads: "Police have abused their power. Using militarized tactics on local residents, racially profiling immigrants and Latinos at work, schooll, and church, and ripping communities apart." At the bottom of the image are the organizational logos for the ACLU of D.C., National Immigration Project, CASA, Washington Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, and Amica Center For Immigrant Rights.

Important listen: "...What we have is an increasing international recognition of two states, including in Europe. But the U.S. is the main party here preventing it from happening - preventing it from happening by not allowing the Security Council to admit a state of Palestine and recognizing it."

What's Netanyahu's answer to this dramatic shift in American public attitudes toward Israel? Have allies buy TikTok and appeal to Musk to control the narrative on X. Watch:

Sen. Slotkin says that ‘a lot of young people’ who don’t know better are coming to college campuses and hearing and repeating antisemitic narratives. This is highly misleading: Polls show Americans with college education have more favorable views Of Jews than those without. 1/2

The same Supreme Court that said it is unreasonable to consider race when giving kids access to education, has said it's reasonable to consider race when looking to remove someone from the country.

Funny how that works.

Despite today’s outrageous ruling, we all have the right to go about our daily lives free from racial profiling by the federal government.

We will never stop fighting for our civil liberties and our immigrant communities.
Maroon graphic reading "Today's Supreme Court order puts people at grave risk, allowing federal agents in Southern California to target individuals because of their race, how they speak, the jobs they work, or just being at a bus stop or the car wash when ICE agents decide to raid a place. For anyone perceived as Latino by an ICE agent, this means living in a fearful ‘papers please’ regime, with risks of violent ICE arrests and detention." This quote is attributed to Cecillia Wang, the National Legal Director of the ACLU.

If you have limited time available, consider devoting it to fundraising for small projects and groups. There's a lot of need for funds and fundraising has become absolutely more difficult. Pick a group in your area and take it upon yourself to raise funds in all the ways you can.

New poll echoes our own poll last month, finding that most Americans, including most Republicans, oppose getting involved in conflict with Iran, with only 16% overall and 23% of Republicans supporting getting involved.
