$23 million cut for CUNY, libraries closed, but 600 new cops plus subway-patrolling robots — love this world
N.Y.P.D. Will Not Face Budget Cuts After All, Adams Says The mayor said that not only would there be no police hiring freeze, but that 600 recruits were on the way. Libraries still face budget reductions.

The Texas Historical Commission Removed Books on Slavery From Plantation Gift Shops
An agency spokesperson claimed that the move had nothing to do with politics. Internal emails show otherwise.

a selfie that Bisan took surrounded by houses that were destroyed by Israeli Occupying Forces. she is wearing a brown corduroy hoodie. caption of instagram post from Wizard_Bisan1: I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress! I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream. I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries! the rest of the caption from the Wizard_Bisan1's instagram post: I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world! My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

"Up to 1.8 million Gazans — around 80 percent of the population — have been forced to leave their homes since Israel began its bombardment in response to Hamas’s attack on Oct. 7. That number is expected to rise after Israel issued a new evacuation order on Saturday for areas in the south."
What the Scale of Displacement in Gaza Looks Like
Eighty percent of Gazans are displaced from their homes as Israel orders more evacuations. See where thousands have been sheltering amid the war’s destruction.

This is openly genocidal rhetoric.

Anyone in denial of it at this point… knowing who his other ministers are, what they’ve said about Palestinians, the overall rhetoric around the war… is going out of their way to ignore what’s happening.

No more! We are witnessing a horror.
Tweet and video: Netanyahu is now going fully genocidal; calling Palestinians "Amalek" & citing the bible to justify their destruction! The bible called to "utterly destroy all that Amalek have, & spare them not; but slay both man & WOMAN, INFANT & suckling, ox & sheep, camel & donkey"! (1/2)

There are mobs of armed settlers rampaging around the West Bank brazenly stealing from Palestinians and forcing them to flee their homes, and we're here being tone-policed about how we talk about it.

@AJEnglish: The 20-truck convoy that arrived in Gaza on Saturday included only one day's worth of water for 22,000 people, far from enough to meet the besieged enclave's needs, officials have said.

Found a song that’s at once very sad and also very catchy to remember my friends who left us to soon. Unusual niche to fill perhaps, but here I share:

Can’t lose sight of which side created the conditions for conflict (see Nakba to present) while undermining a peace process for decades, which side is currently killing enormous numbers of civilians intentionally, and which side holds the power to end the conflict. It’s pretty clear

A formative experience for me was traveling to Guatemala to do service work when I was younger. When I got home, I started reading about Guatemala’s history & learned about the unspeakable atrocities the US perpetrated there during the Cold War. It was disillusioning and reshaped me politically.

Cops in Minnesota are running a straight-up mafia protection racket targeting immigrant-owned businesses
minnesotareformer.com Minnesota Reformer @minnesotareformer.com · Oct 17
Small business owners in Minneapolis say the city forced them to hire off-duty MPD officers for security gigs. Some were led to believe MPD wouldn't respond to their calls if they refused. The officers often insisted on cash payment.

I used to think content/trigger warnings were a bit over-the-top, yet now I think I need to stay off the social media sites for a bit. Hard to see all the callous destruction, dead parents, dead children. Really unbelievable world and wow what shelter I’ve had from it

The biggest lie being spread about the war is that it has anything to do with saving the hostages.

The Israeli government is sacrificing the safety of the hostages specifically in order to wage the war.

Any other framing is a dishonest or ignorant way of justifying the war.

“Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas,” Netanyahu said. “This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.” www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

it's cool how Netanyahu is on record saying they have to prop up Hamas to undermine Fatah, and Hamas's funding comes mostly from gulf oil monarchies, and the American press looks at this situation and decides the ultimate responsibility for Hamas's terrorism lies with American College Students
