Mark is one of the US’s leading scholars on the history of antifascism and a professor at Rutgers University. He was harassed by the fascist group TPUSA, and began receiving death threats.

As he and his family attempted to flee the country, this happened:

“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.’

Even if this holds, the struggle and the suffering not yet over and we still must do whatever we can to help the Palestinians live in dignity. This giving circle is doing that work directly

Please share, 24 hours left ⚠️ I often parrot “bet on life” from Samidoun’s special report about resistance in Jenin camp. Because mutual aid is existential: every alleviation matters. Every act of support is faith in Palestinian life.

A square white graphic. On the left is a stylized ink illustration of a kestrel falcon in black on white, without outline just the black marks on its wings and face, drawn from behind. His wings are partly open and his head is turned to the right. In his beak is an anemone poppy in red ink with a green stem. On the right is the title "Keep hope alive: a gaza giving circle" in ink-effect font. The text says "We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support." In the bottom right corner in green text is the link https://tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCircle.

Can't emphasize enough how this need is still urgent regardless of the news right now or tomorrow or next week or next month... we didn't have enough money today such that one family gave their share from the giving circle to another for a tent...

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

An edit of the "OK Mario"/"No Mario" comic by @sloshua_ on Twitter. It has been edited to replace Mario with a crude Master Chief (from Halo). The dialogue reads:

Master Chief: "ENTER MY AMAZING WORLD OF ACQUISITIONS AND AI SLOP"
Guy: "NO JOHN"
Master Chief: "30 dollars a month"
Guy: "NO JOHN"

The thing about the current horrors is that they're not new. For years the US government has separated families via deportations, murdered foreign civilians, and violently suppressed civil liberties. The problem is that now they're all social media addicted freaks so they post about it.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

This very very very bad. I cannot stress this enough. I said that they crossed the Rubicon with arresting Ras Baraka several months ago. This is very bad and portends more bad things for regular people.
