NEW: David Adler—a Jewish American on the Gaza aid Flotilla—details Israeli detention.

At one point, he says, he was forced to his knees for a photo op with the Israeli flag, as Ben Gvir yelled in his face, calling him a terrorist.

Says US "hung up" on families of Americans, veterans seeking help.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Trump and his crime family know police in the U.S. are on their side. Put police together with Trump's ICE army and whatever National Guard troops he can force into action and his regime can continue ignoring court orders, kidnapping and killing innocents, and cementing their chokehold over America.

As fucking atrocious as western coverage of the genocide in Gaza has been, the accompanying ecocide in both Gaza and the West Bank has gone almost totally unacknowledged. Palestinians have cultivated these trees for generations. The oldest tree in Palestine could be up to 5,000 years old.

the thing about the big tent is we can debate its merits and successes as an electoral strategy, but it has been an abject failure as a governance strategy, and frankly what you do with power is more important than how often you win it. we are living through precisely why that’s so

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.

Google "sovereign immunity." Then Google "qualified immunity." Then you'll understand why fixing so much of what we see requires defunding the police.

Based on what we know about past flotilla punishment if they are doing this to her they are doing much worse to Arab, Muslim & Black and people of color flotilla members.

Contact your government representatives & those of any country you are connected to to demand IMMEDIATE release for all of them.
