Bisbee is a tiny artsy town (less than 5000 population) with a vibrant queer community near the AZ-Mexico border and a bunch of Border Patrol agents rolled up to Bisbee Pride this weekend and snatched people up right as the parade was about to kick off.

Attendees say the timing and location of the arrests felt like a show of force in a town known for LGBTQ+ safety.

Today’s arrest of @bradlander.bsky.social is just one disturbing example of what ICE does every single day across the country. It’s not interested in law and order—this is about spreading fear. New York City will not stand for it.

I see lots of fellow leftists & pro-Palestine ppl celebrating at the seeming ‘rupture’ between Netanyahu & Trump.

Folks, it’s Trump. Don’t pay attention to what he says; pay attention to what he does - & what Israel does with his support.

Right now, it’s the starving of Gaza.

This replica of the car in which 6-year-old Palestinian child Hind Rajab was killed while fleeing Gaza City with her family last year was displayed in Bradford, UK, on what would have been her 7th birthday. The original vehicle was shot 335 times by Israeli forces.

Studies have shown that tiny pieces of plastic, which may originate from everyday products such as food packaging or plastic toys, can make bees more susceptible to bacteria and viruses.

In turn, the microplastics can injure or even kill bees, and make pollination more difficult. wapo.st/3RDRRBO

Our fascist government put a third-grader in handcuffs.
A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York.

But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

"Despite the Israeli army’s attempt to cover up its crime by burying it in the sand, evidence speaks for what happened... Israel, of course, used the familiar playbook of denial and obfuscation."

Yet another Israeli war crime is buried in the sand as the world looks away
Sixteen Palestinian paramedics and first responders were executed in Rafah. Indifference is all they get.

A contingent of officers waited for her, and stood outside the door.

When she stepped in, she was arrested and sent to a men's jail.
