“Success looks like healthy food systems, our nations being healthy again, not being dependent on the federal government.”

SNAP stoppage exposed once again how fragile & punitive federal food systems are for Indigenous people, making bare the need for food sovereignty, @alexmar.bsky.social reports.

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

Stop lying. Your state cops attacked protesters alongside ICE yesterday. I was there. I and others were violently attacked by ICE agents. Your state cops acted in concert with them during the attack.
State, county, and local law enforcement have been working together and coordinating to ensure public safety around the Broadview ICE facility, and to protect people’s ability to peacefully exercise their constitutional rights.

I want to do a little breakdown of this investigation I published today for @prismreports.org about gender-based violence in the H-2A agricultural visa program.
She managed to get a farmworker visa. Once in the U.S., she endured abuse.
A Prism investigation reveals that women are routinely shut out of the H-2A program. Those who get in report doing non-agricultural labor and facing sexual violence and trafficking

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

There's so much that's so wrong about Trump's "he stole her" comments on the late Virginia Giuffre. A great columnist pounces on this. @rexhuppke.bsky.social is a great columnist www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

“In peace, the internet feels like a luxury—a way to escape or entertain yourself. But in war, it becomes a vital lifeline, pumping life, information, & connection.”

Israel’s digital siege is another effort to wipe out proof of our existence, writes Taqwa Ahmed Al-Wawi in this dispatch from Gaza.
