BREAKING: University of Washington students have launched an occupation of the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building (IEB), calling for the university to cut ties with Boeing in solidarity with Palestine. The company is one of Israel’s largest weapons suppliers.

People in Gaza are still collecting the skulls and decomposed remains of their children from beneath the rubble, while some fantasize about building a resort on their mass graves, and others gloat over a minority that refused to vote for the party that enabled a genocide.

Reminder: It is U.S. foreign policy to take over Gaza. The Democrats never said it out loud, they just quietly lied to Congress, again, and again, and again.

Trump says the quiet part out loud. They are one and the same.

CSPAN cut the feed after the press conference but the members of Congress and Senators have entered the main lobby where USAID HQ is located. The door is being blocked by law enforcement.

URGENT: Emergency rallies outside OPM every day this week as Elon Musk instructs all USAID officials to work from home & locks workers out of the building.

First, they came for Pro-Palestinian protestors…

Then they came for immigrants..

Then they came for me? (USAID)

Show up for each other.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.

We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.

Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

Spend 5 minutes and watch this video. We have witnessed the shock of our generation, a genocide in Gaza, funded by U.S. tax-dollars. As bombs falls, defense contracts and stocks rise. Palestine is all of us.

Information is shock resistance. Arm yourself. Speak the truth.
Hard to believe but 18 years ago, I sent the great Alfonso Cuaron an advance copy of The Shock Doctrine and asked if he might be willing to write a blurb.

He made a short film instead. This is it. Still chills me.

Share with whoever you think it might help.

so weird to see my peers hyper focused on energy and emissions re: trump. meanwhile I’m worried about mass deportations, family separations, and the poor souls stuck at the border.

being a climate reporter who’s also the child of immigrants who crossed this border on foot is very lonely.
