In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

If you are wondering what happened in Indonesia yesterday, this is the whole summary. I don't care if you dislike politics, but it's about humanity. It would be greatly appreciated if my English speaker friends here try to educate themselves and share this as a form of spreading more awareness.

"Today, a majority of voters (53%) agree that Israel has committed human rights abuses against Palestinians."
About damn time but still not nearly enough. It's so disheartening to watch a starvation campaign live streamed yet keep getting these statistics reflecting such willful ignorance.

New poll shared exclusively with Zeteo: Americans say it’s a genocide in Gaza by a margin of 14 points.
EXCLUSIVE: More American Voters Than Not Say Israel Is Committing Genocide in Gaza

if the aggressor wants its 24-50 or so hostages returned
then as a gesture of good faith they must also release palestinian hostages/ "detainees" whatever label you want to call them
10,000 and likely more because why would the aggressor report accurate numbers
why is no one talking about this?

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza.
It said it was starving Gaza over and over again.
It has done so systematically - with the full complicity of the West.

Israel has deliberately starved the people of Gaza. It couldn’t have done it without the west's help | Owen Jones
The current hand-wringing by Keir Starmer and other western politicians is empty bluster. They knew what was happening all along, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

As djt escalates his war on the poor, working class, disabled, nonfluent in english etc - demonizing, scapegoating, and disappearing immigrants - we need to match that escalation with mutual aid and solidarity.

observe who actually sends in "outside agitators"
seeing how "law enforcement" doesn't deescalate, i'm sure "national defense" will do sooo much better.
fuck ice, fuck lapd, fuck trump, nat'l guard and marines.
if you didn't speak up about the deportations, will you speak up against martial law?

Today was good - I got to join in a march supporting a university worker fired for her politics. ✊🏼 Moreso, I got to meet up with my union friends and march together. We've got such great little overlapping chunks of community here and I'm so grateful for the chance to participate.
