@handsoffnyc.bsky.social is training thousands of New Yorkers on how to protect their neighbors from ICE. Today, they are currently running two trainings in Brooklyn and the Bronx, both of which hit capacity because interest was so high.
This is the way, y’all—we protect each other, and we know it.

A lot of people on Twitter and Bluesky alike love to go "what about Sudan?" in response to pro Palestinian sentiment but in general if you're pro Palestine you're also far likelier to be anti UAE. See for example the senator below, who was the harshest critic in the Senate of both Biden and Trump.
The RSF just attacked a kindergarten, killing at least 33 children in Sudan.
Meanwhile, the Trump Admin. continues to sell arms to the UAE, who are aiding these atrocities.
Imagine if Trump spent as much time trying to stop the killing, as he did getting the UAE to invest in his crypto coin.

I did JHU’s CTY as a child…at Loyola Marymount, Franklin and Marshall…did a double take at this post, for—reasons.
When I was 12, I was a scholarship student at a site of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth
The whole summer almost all of the white and Asian kids called me ”Sideshow Bob“ because of my curly, type 3b/c Black hair. Not one adult intervened.

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
That's more than 11 violations every single day.
The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
