AFP (10 freelancers in Gaza across text/photo/video) : since the agency founded in 1944 we’ve had journalists killed, injured or imprisoned, but none of us can recall a colleague dying of starvation.
Which is imminent.

I was 19 when 9/11 happened. I lived through post-9/11 hate, the "anti-Shariah" movement, & hype around the Muslim ban.
But with Zohran's primary win, I don't think I've ever seen THIS level of Islamophobia & anti-Muslim hate from BOTH GOP and Democrats.
And the sad truth is this—

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Yeah we have to learn to ignore “DHS claims” especially considering they refuse to present warrants or allow themselves to be easily identified.
I spoke with the LA-area pastor who confronted masked men conducting an apparent immigration action on church property — men, she says, who said "the whole country is our property."

If they'll treat a United States Senator like this, imagine how little respect they're showing for working class people. This administration is out of control. Working people must be prepared to act in solidarity and defend our country from this authoritarian behavior. It’s on us.

yelling "hey stop that's fucked up" is not all that is required in the present moment
but it is a requirement
but it is a requirement
the fact that media continued to cover noem and allowed the press conference to continue
instead of yelling "hey what are you doing, stop" and shutting it down to cover the arrest
a) is a huge problem
b) can be traced back in a straight line to this failure to act

Yesterday, reporter Sam Husseini was dragged out of the White House Press Room for asking questions about Gaza.
We should all be alarmed by journalists being forcibly removed from asking questions.
It’s a step further towards authoritarianism and must not be ignored.
