If the strike called for January 23 in protest against ICE is to succeed, ordinary people—most of whom are not unionized—will have to walk out and take it upon themselves to disrupt business as usual.

No union leadership or organization can do this for us.

Night night sweet dreamies

The most underrated act of kindness is letting people be
Let them mispronounce a word, talk too much about a show they love,
or get excited about something
you don’t understand
Everyone’s got something that lights them up

guess who? it's kenan, yazan, and kinzy! @monahijazi.bsky.social sent me this photo yesterday and is letting me share it here—look how much they've grown!

it's thanks in great part to YOU, her bluesky family, to whom mona sends her love, that they're still here—please remember them: bit.ly/for-mona
three children, two boys and a little girl, stand on hard-packed sand in front of the rubble of a collapsed building in gaza. on the left, kenan's brown hair is short with a left side part, and combed back; he's wearing a faded black hoodie, tan cargo joggers, white socks, and navy-and-white sneakers. he's looking off to the left of the photo. in the middle, yazan is shorter, with longer, darker brown hair; he's turned entirely to the left so we see him in profile, and he's smiling. he wears a light blue long-sleeved shirt, a navy vest, khaki cargo joggers, and black-and-white sneakers. on the right, facing the camera full-on, making a peace sign with her left hand and a thumbs-up with her right, is kinzy. her brown hair is pulled back into pigtails (possibly braided?), she's wearing an incredible black-and-white abstract patterned sweatsuit, and little black-and-white sneakers on her feet, which are planted firmly on the ground. her little face shows how intensely she's concentrating on the photo — while her brothers seem dreamily absent or unfocused, kinzy is Present. (editorializing, Kinzy is still clearly the tiny girl who saved her birthday chocolate to eat in safety throughout an emergency displacement and then cried when, after hours of travel, found it had melted in her hand. she's determined to live on her own terms, despite not always understanding concepts like "the heat of your hand will melt chocolate." i love her so much.)

duaa's GFM updates are getting really desperate. i don't know who else is posting for her, but things are looking really grim for baby ali, and not great for little khalil, either. but she can speak for herself:
bit.ly/duaa-elmadhoun
My little boy, whom I waited so long for, has now been diagnosed with the advanced stage of the coronavirus. His symptoms are excruciating; it's ravaging his fragile body. He can't bear the pain, he vomits everything he eats, his fever won't break, he's lost 5 kilos, and he's unable to breathe or move. His condition is very critical. Please donate to help him with treatment and hospital costs; everything here is expensive. a photo of duaa's youngest child, ali, now about 11 months old, in a crib in the ICU. his dark hair is stuck to his forehead, and his face looks pale. he appears to be sleeping, though even with his eyes closed his expression is pained, not at all peaceful. he's wearing a gray sweater under a larger black sweater with tan stripes and white lettering; half his little body is propped up on a big pillow, with a tan and pink floral pillowcase, and he's covered with a heavy-looking tan blanket with some kind of design in black and brown. his right hand rests outside the blanket; it's bandaged from the second knuckle to his little wrist, securing an IV in place. behind him, through and around the bars of the crib, the IV line and four or five wires snake out of frame. editorializing: he's a picture of pathos. of totally unnecessary suffering. of the shame of the world. this tiny boy has rarely known a moment of rest or peace in his short life, and for what reason? enthnonationalism? geopolitics? zionism? nothing justifiies this.

It is still blows my mind that Fort Snelling — a former concentration camp for Dakota people — is now the site of an ICE detention center as well as the court where judges decide to deport people.

The concentration camp at fort Snelling was not a death camp, and Dakota people were not systematically exterminated there. The camp was, however, part of the genocidal policies pursued against Indigenous people throughout the U.S. Whipple Federal Building at Fort Snelling

🔴 GAZA — The Government’s Media Office says 127,000 of the 135,000 tents housing displaced people are uninhabitable and unusable, leaving hundreds of thousands exposed to severe winter cold without blankets, mattresses, or heating. Officials say the crisis is the result of Israel’s systematic destruction of roughly 90% of Gaza’s building structures, the displacement of more than two million people, and the closure of crossings for over 500 days, blocking 250,000 urgently needed aid and fuel trucks. Israeli attacks have also hit 303 shelters and 61 food distribution centers, repeatedly forcing displaced families out of designated shelter sites and leaving children, women, and the elderly sleeping on bare ground or inside makeshift tents that offer no protection from wind or rain. The lack of heating has led to tens of thousands of respiratory and infectious illnesses, the office said, with at least 21 displaced people, including 18 children, dying from cold exposure. The destruction of 38 hospitals and the shutdown of 96 health centers have worsened mortality risks. A severe winter storm with heavy rain, strong winds, and freezing temperatures is currently bearing down on Gaza, raising fears of mass casualties as extreme shortages of food, fuel, medicine, and shelter continue amid ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations.

🟢 Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) condemned Israel on Monday for arresting the wife of slain Palestinian resistance leader Yahya Ayyash and for the continued detention of Palestinian women. Ayyash was the chief bombmaker of Hamas and a leader in the West Bank battalion of the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, earning the nickname “the Engineer.” He was assassinated by Israel’s Shin Bet on January 5, 1996. The head of Hamas in the West Bank, Zaher Jabarin, said that “the criminal Zionist enemy army’s boasting about arresting the wife of the martyr leader Engineer Yahya Ayyash, and continuing to detain Palestinian women, is a new folly of the criminal Ben Gvir and his gangs.” He said that this crime “will not break the resolve of Umm Al-Baraa nor the image of our engineer who humiliated the Zionist enemy with his heroic operations and shattered the prestige of the criminal occupier.” Jabarin warned that “the continuation of the criminal terrorist enemy’s detention of women, foremost among them the wives and mothers of martyrs and prisoners, will backfire and invoke the wrath of our revolutionary youth and heroic resistance fighters upon the occupier and its settlers in the occupied West Bank.” He added that “the arrogance of the occupier and the increasing brutality of its aggression will not break the will of our Palestinian people. Rather, these crimes will constitute additional fuel for the continuation of heroic resistance operations and for igniting confrontation with the Zionist enemy everywhere.” See new posts Conversation Quds News Network @QudsNen Israeli occupation soldiers brazenly pose for photos while detaining the wife of Yahya Ayyash, who they killed about thirty years ago.
