Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif announcing the last ceasefire in January 2025. He was an icon and a hero. Israel assassinated him in August - one of over 300 Palestinian journalists killed by Israel in the last 2 years. May god bless his soul. May he be announcing this ceasefire in heaven.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

A tweet from Mayor Brandon Johnson says Trump has tried to unjustly arrest a Black man and he’s not going anywhere. A reply from Donald Trump says the Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE officers.

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

We will know how "real" the ceasefire is only after the prisoners are exchanged on Saturday-Sunday and whether or not the first phase is immediately violated by the Israelis like last time.

It is true you can't trust Israel or the US but you should probably be aware the ceasefire doesn't begin until Saturday or Sunday and Israel has a long history of intensifying bombardment until the official starting point of a ceasefire.

The thing that everyone realized in the pandemic, is that the police are mainly a violent mob that does whatever they want, even against the wishes of the politicians in power. Essentially they hold many cities hostage and escalate things, which is why there was a huge call to defund them

If Democrats want to stop fascism, they have to stop their cops from beating & arresting anti-fascism protesters in their own cities

Why is that a thing I have to say out loud

13 arrested, 4 police officers injured during pro-Palestinian protest in Boston

Thirteen people were arrested, and four police officers were injured during a pro-Palestinian rally in Boston Tuesday night.

It's clear that when the US wants a ceasefire deal, one miraculously occurs. Makes the "working tirelessly for a ceasefire" stuff from last year even more disgusting.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Breaking | The Conscience ship is currently under attack by an Israeli military helicopter.

The vessel is carrying doctors, journalists, and activists from multiple countries.

A grainy black-and-white image shows what appears to be an Israeli naval boarding operation at night. Armed soldiers in helmets are seen on the deck of a small vessel identified as The Conscience. Bright lights from the surrounding sea and equipment create glare across the frame.

This is the boat from the original Global Sumud Flotilla that got held back for repairs and ended up joining this second wave (Freedom Flotilla Coalition) of 9 boats that left after the GSF was intercepted. It was carrying medical personnel and supplies.
