I have studied the targeting of journalists for many years, but the scale and public display of these killings is truly shocking: “Israel admits deliberate attack on the journalist, known for frontline coverage, in a strike on a tent outside al-Shifa hospital“

Je terminerais en disant juste que les classes politiques et médiatiques dominantes soutiennent un génocide, une famine organisée, le massacre d'enfants.
On était dans la rue aujd et ça ne suffit pas, ne lâchez rien de ce combat, soyons forts, déterminés, radicaux jusqu'au bout.

As I detail in this post, part of Bukele's "truce" with MS-13 is to give them greater control over the prisons in which they are incarcerated. Which means that Abrego-Garcia was sent back to a country where he faced gang retaliation, into a confinement where MS-13 will have power over him

“Disappeared” is how Argentines and Chileans talk about the citizens kidnapped by military regimes of 80s and 90s. Today Mexicans use it to refer to those who vanish in the cartel war. “Disappear” is a verb, noun & adj: When ppl are disappeared, they become los desaparecidos—the disappeared
We gotta find better ways to describe these arrests, man. "Detained" ain't cutting it. Getting your car window busted out and getting dragged away isn't "detained." Getting stopped on the street and disappeared for writing an OpEd isn't getting "detained." The language needs to match the action here

Utterly outrageous. This is un-American.

The forced disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil for nothing more than constitutionally protected speech is a clear assault on first amendment rights and a blatant act of authoritarianism.

Khalil must be released.
