🚨BIG NEWS! The #NEA votes to #DroptheADL!
The ADL has long masqueraded as a civil rights organization while actively working to suppress antiracist movements—from the struggle against apartheid and Black Lives Matter to the fight for Palestinian liberation.

At approx 11:10pm tonight, a drone hovered above the Madleen, while in international waters, 80 nautical miles south of Greece. Thankfully, it passed without incident. Our ground team is investigating.

TAKE ACTION 👇🏽 DEMAND Israel refrain from threatening or attacking the #FreedomFlotilla
#Gaza
Take one minute: go to bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice and send a letter to the Israeli government, UN officials, and diplomatic missions demanding that Israel abide by international law and refrain from attacking, sabotaging or otherwise interfering with the #Madleen and her mission.

As of this moment, the Maltese Coast Guard has not responded to the Freedom Flotilla’s SOS. 30 humanitarian aid volunteers are on board a civilian vessel in distress 17nm off the coast of Malta. If anything happens to them, in addition to Israel, Malta will be responsible. Contact info for PM.

BREAKING! One of the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ships has come under attack in international waters. Drones struck the front of the civilian vessel twice, causing a fire and breach in the hull. Drones are still circling the boat endangering the lives of the volunteers on board. #FreedomFlotilla

In 18 months Israel has killed more journalists than the US Civil War, World Wars I & II, Korean War, Vietnam War (including the conflicts in Cambodia & Laos), wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990s & 2000s, and post-9/11 war in Afghanistan, COMBINED.

The Final Solution is underway in Gaza, and from world leaders we get only hollow platitudes.

International law is DEAD.
Humanity is DYING.
We’ve never seen a more open, unapologetic EVIL—mass slaughter, funded, justified & broadcast live for all to see.
History will remember.
And it will damn us.

Israel is deliberately starving 2 million people in Gaza-exterminating an entire population and not a single gov on Earth is acting to stop it.

This is like watching Nazis march people into gas chambers and choosing to look away. History is repeating itself. This time the entire world is complicit.

Someone anonymously left these sweatshirts in a bag on my porch yesterday. The first line of unsigned note they included is chilling:

“The criminalization of protest makes my wife fear having these in our house.”

That sentence says so much about where we are right now as a country. #FightFascism

Rubio is presumably intending to rely on the same provision of the INS and claim that Mahdawi’s presence in the US purportedly harms the government’s foreign policy goal of fighting antisemitism. This is Mahdawi on 60 Minutes last year.

The gov presented NO evidence that #MahmoudKhalil is guilty of what they accuse him of. The basis for this ruling is an obscure sec of the Immigration Act that allows the Sec of State to determine that an immigrant’s presence in the country could have adverse affect on foreign policy.

ohhh hmmm... interesting. More than 100 former Israeli spies and IDF soldiers work for tech giant Meta, including its head of AI policy, who served in the IDF under an Israeli government scheme that allows non-Israelis to volunteer for the Israeli army.

This is outrageous! Immigrants are entitled to full First Amendment protections.

This is an assault on the very foundations of our Constitution. If we don’t stop this now, citizens will be next.

To be clear, this isn’t about combatting antisemitism, it’s about shielding Israel from criticism.
