I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Jehad. Jehad has been displaced since the beginning of the war with his wife and their two small daughters Neama and Maria. He is returning home soon but just to a pile of rubble and needs help to rebuild.

Jehad’s account has been pretty targeted by Bluesky so it has taken a long time for him to have an account I didn’t think would get taken down on the day that I shared - I feel like he lost a lot of time and help because of this so if you can help him and his tiny girls out I would be very grateful

Coastal Oregon today

the searing curve of beach far below, blazing, glazed with surf and above a forgiving blue sky, framed by fir trees to left and right

steep spinning curve of slope looking right down from the trail, the calm green entanglement of ground cover imbued with a sense of entropy and vertigo... while the deeper blue of sea does a cartwheel into the sky

the glittering expanse of the sun in the sea like the impressionistic armor of a drowned warrior, with impassive pockmarked rocks in the foreground

white sea wash and wrack indelible against the blue the sea beyond, foam that seems to form messages driven by the wind

Inbox: Immigrants’ Rights Advocates Sue Trump Administration Over Birthright Citizenship Executive Order

CONCORD, N.H. — Immigrants’ rights advocates today sued the Trump administration over its executive order that seeks to strip certain babies born in the United States of their U.S. citizenship.

The case was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of New Hampshire, ACLU of Maine, ACLU of Massachusetts, Asian Law Caucus, State Democracy Defenders Fund, and Legal Defense Fund on behalf of organizations with members whose babies born on U.S. soil will be denied citizenship under the order, including New Hampshire Indonesian Community Support, League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), and Make the Road New York. The lawsuit charges the Trump administration with flouting the Constitution’s dictates, congressional intent, and longstanding Supreme Court precedent.

“Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it’s also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is. This order seeks to repeat one of the gravest errors in American history, by creating a permanent subclass of people born in the U.S. who are denied full rights as Americans. We will not let this attack on newborns and future generations of Americans go unchallenged. The Trump administration's overreach is so egregious that we are confident we will ultimately prevail,” said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union.

Without massive pressure, it may constitute a continuation of a less visible form of genocide that Israel and the US hope will provoke less regional and global outrage, boycotts and sanctions.

Boycott and pressure these companies now!

Our work is not done!

A ceasefire is only the most important first step to end the genocide against the 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.

Let's step up our global mass boycott of McDonald's until it ends its complicity in Israeli apartheid, escalating pickets, protests, and awareness raising campaigns in neighborhoods, workplaces, universities and more.

BREAKING: McDonald's has lost over $7 billion in revenue due to global boycotts, according to Israeli financial media. The BDS movement has targeted McDonald's due to its support for Israel's genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the illegally occupied Gaza Strip.

Mahmoud is really trying to keep his small rented room so he doesn’t have to go back to a tent- but if he does he needs money for a good one of those too
