I don't think that is what that slogan means.
It means that you cannot provide a non-arbitrary justification for why the settler state is allowed to create and enforce the borders in the first place. It's just special pleading based on the contingent results of military victories and lawfare

"no human is illegal on stolen land" is a stupid slogan because of the stolen land part. indigenous peoples, whatever that means, also don't have a right to deny the legal protections of citizenship to foreigners

Don't make these guys feel bad that they are reporting "finger guns" as threats to their safety.
Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns.
...
Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us.
Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols?
A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us.
R: Pulling out literal guns?
A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

For everyone who still thinks Norman Finkelstein is on the left, here he is attacking Angela Davis for not hating trans people.
BTW, Angela Davis is great on Palestine too, and unlike Finkelstein, does it without being a raging bigot.

My final position on the Will Stancil thing is that filming wreckers and possible false flag actors can be a good thing, posting it to social media to make a point is not.

How did they redact abusers but not the victims? And they expect us to believe 40 nude photos went unnoticed?
That’s exactly why people think the DOJ did this on purpose, to shame these women for coming forward.

Worth noting that blocking someone you follow doesn't remove you from their follow list, so it's possible a chunk of those people don't realise they show up as still following him.

Haaretz reports that only 12 Palestinians (9 women and 3 children) were allowed to cross from Egypt to Gaza yesterday.
They were taken by the pro-Israel Palestinian militia for interrogation by Israeli officials, and their luggage was mostly confiscated.
38 Palestinians were turned back to Egypt.

When Democrats have the gavels back, we need to dismantle DHS and ensure that immigration is handled how it should be — as a CIVIL system.
In the meantime, we won’t stop pushing for guardrails to ICE and CBP.
