Anya Rainwater taps in and out of SEPTA around 8 times a day. As a traveling case manager, she meets her clients where they are, and that means traversing Philadelphia via public transit. With SEPTA cuts looming, she’s concerned for those clients. (1/4)

On March 8, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a US permanent resident & student activist for Palestinian rights, from his New York apartment. Mahmoud was targeted for his political speech & activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
