The Dallas area Palestinian Youth Movement reported yesterday that Ya'Kub Ira, an activist and martial arts instructor, was abducted by ICE despite Ira's legal status under DACA.

"This is the second unexpected arrest of someone with proximity to the Palestine movement in the past two weeks."

🔴 Gaza’s Government Media Office said Israel has ignored Trump’s ceasefire call, launching 230+ air and artillery strikes from Oct. 4–7 that killed 118 civilians, including women and children.

Most of the strikes hit crowded neighborhoods and displacement camps; 72 were killed in Gaza City alone...

a way to understand Bari Weiss’ ascendance is that capital absolutely does not want to “turn down the temperature” on culture war, au contraire they understand culture war to be their most successful media project and want more more more.

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

I understand why people *want* the police to intervene--normies are like, 'I thought cops are supposed to arrest people doing crimes, ICE is right there doing crimes, go do your thing'

but police organizations take nearly every opportunity to be like, 'oh you misunderstood what our thing is'

Jessica Pishko @jesspish.bsky.social · 1h

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance."

if your perspective is being challenged by the rantings and ravings of bari weiss then you might just be fucking stupid i’m sorry you had to find out this way

Amy Westervelt @amywestervelt.bsky.social · 1h

There are too many rich white people who've had no challenges in life working in media...is a thought I had when one of them was saying recently they appreciate how Bari Weiss challenges their perspective. Babe, most folks don't need that, it doesn't make you open-minded and intellectually curious.

State sanctioned torture of queer people - because that’s what so called conversion therapy is.

Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen.bsky.social · 22h

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.”

This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

Democratic Party turboloyalists are often some of the most toxic people I've ever encountered. Whereas the Right are generally honest about all the vile things they think and believe, this group of centrists adds the additional insult of pretending to have some sort of morality and knowledge. Vile.

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸
