#ICYMI: GlobalX flight attendants were told they would fly rock bands, sports teams and sun-seekers.

Then the company started expanding into deportation flights.

“They didn’t tell us these people were going to be shackled, wrists to fucking ankles.”
Inside ICE Air: Flight Attendants on Deportation Planes Say Disaster Is “Only a Matter of Time”
Current and former flight attendants for GlobalX, the private charter airline at the center of Trump’s immigration crackdown, expressed concern about their inability to treat passengers humanely and…

There’s a reason why my people banned Kristi Noem from our reservations. It’s called homeland security from settler fascists.

From the gift that is M. Gessen - gift link to their essay today on the political and personal impact of denationalization. Denationalization is what is happening and has been for a while in public condemnations of trans and all non- normative people. The great whitening starts here:
Opinion | There’s a Name for What Trump Is Doing to Trans People: Denationalizing (Gift Article)
The message is that we are a threat to the nation. The subtext is that we are not of this nation.

As concern grows over the fate of Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia student protest leader detained by ICE, @zeteo.com journalist @premthakker.bsky.social says the Trump administration has provided little information to justify their "clumsy and haphazard" actions.

Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Trump Administration Just Deleted Part of American History. If They Get Away With It, We Could Be Headed to a Very Dark Place.
This is far more serious than the loss of a few letters.

This is so awful. Trump’s proposed imperialist land grab from devastated people is repackaged as a “development plan.”
There have been some truly awful and egregious headlines on Gaza in the New York Times over the past 16 months but we may have a winner, folks.

Trump is calling for ethnic cleansing—“clean out that whole thing” was his phrase!—but the NYT manages to make him sound like a humanitarian.

Zionism is based on the negation of Palestinian existence. To defend and affirm Palestinian life, we must do everything we can to destroy this racist settler colonial ideology, including its violent and genocidal institutions and social structures.

FOX News blaming Native people for the California fires is unspeakably irresponsible, devoid of anything near journalism, colonizer dodging of responsibility.

The police work for billionaires.

They’ll attack a strike, they’ll arrest protesters, and they’ll devote themselves to making CEOs feel safe.

Not only do cops defund our cities, they work overtime to stop us from building a better world.

"There are neo-Nazis on both sides"
CNN's Dana Bash on the neo-Nazis marching in Columbus: "We don‘t know what side of the aisle this comes from. I mean, typically, neo-Nazis are from the far right. You had protests from the far left at your house as a Jewish member."

2023 was the spark.
2024 is the build up.
May 2025 be the year of liberation and self-determination of all colonised indigenous peoples across the world, from north America to Palestine, Aotearoa, Australia, Hawaii & every place in between.
