They need our support.

Imagine siding with a genocidal settler power against the occupied people's indigenous resistance.

In a sane world, the government guilty of committing genocide would be dismantled, and forced to pay reparations. Instead they are allowed to corral their victims into a concentration camp and steal their land. We live in the most obscene of all possible timelines.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

My opinion about the National Guard shooting is: learn something from events and stop simply reacting with "I condemn this act by this person."
Condemn the imperialist world order that plunges entire swathes of the world into misery, not just those violent acts that happen in YOUR cities.
My opinion about the National Guard shooting is: whenever a shooting involves a people brutalized by empire, I assume CIA involvement.

“We've drowned and been destroyed.”

A displaced Palestinian man shouts in frustration after heavy rainfall flooded his tent in Gaza today.

Israel continues to deny the entry of sufficient shelter supplies as winter sets in, leaving displaced families exposed to cold, rain, and flooding.

The detained woman is the mother of Leavitt's nephew. Wouldn't be surprised if they're using DHS to get rid of the mom.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”

“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...
‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

I usually create a thread of options for people who would like to donate to a Native cause or struggle, but it has gotten HARDER to fundraise on socials over the past couple of years, so I am zeroing in on one ask this year. Pls support Native organizing infrastructure: nativeorganizing.org/donate/

Pissraeli song sung by children that goes ""A year from now, there will be nothing there. And we will return in safety to our homes. A year from now, we will have slaughtered them all, and then we will return to plow our fields," still does.

Why should Palestinians disarm?
⭕️ Palestinian resistance leaders told Drop Site that a total surrender of weapons is “not up for discussion.” But, as Jeremy Scahill notes, “there’s nuance in the position of Hamas and Islamic Jihad on this issue that never gets reported.”

Hello, I’m from Gaza.
We’re living through hell
homes destroyed,memories erased,loved ones gone. Even the innocence of our children has been shattered.
Every bit of help—even a small donation—could save a life or rekindle a flicker of hope.

This is how the occupation has turned childhood in Gaza from a dream into a nightmare.

After more than two years of bombardment, displacement, and starvation, these children are now enduring the very same suffering for a third consecutive year.

The Israel lobby - including Epstein - has been silencing and crushing investigations into itself for years.

A coordinated backlash against Mearsheimer and Walt's “The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy” was in part coordinated by Jeffrey Epstein, "a powerful figure at Harvard."

Bad enough to have had a Zionist in Schakowsky: folks had to mobilize heavily to push her SLIGHTLY on the genocide at the HEIGHT of the slaughter!

As US state capture by Zionism gets worse, now the "Progressive Caucus" is promoting a Zionist Israeli actually FROM ISRAEL for our district. WTF.
@danielbiss.bsky.social will be a critical partner in advancing bold progressive priorities in Congress. Because of his deep roots in the district and decades of service to Illinois, we are confident he will continue to build a broad coalition of local support. We are proud to endorse him.
