The day after Israel killed yet another group of Al Jazeera media workers, the New York Times decides to publish this hateful screed. The article text is full of unverified claims and lies. It is incitement.

How many dead Palestinian reporters is enough for the New York Times?

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

What’s really behind Meta’s biased content moderation policies on Palestine? Could it maybe have something to do with the fact that Meta is staffed by 100+ former IDF soldiers + intelligence operatives? thegrayzone.com/2025/04/08/1...

🚨Today the government terminated legal services for immigrant kids assisted through @acaciajustice.bsky.social's Unaccompanied Children Program, which provides a crucial lifeline to kids seeking safety.

We urge the admin to reverse this cruel decision: cgrs.uclawsf.edu/news/cgrs-de... #ProtectKids
Photo of child walking alone in front of orange wall. Overlay text reads, "CGRS Decries Termination of Legal Services for Unaccompanied Immigrant Kids" Quote from CGRS Director of Training and Technical Assistance Christine Lin reads, "CGRS has consulted on thousands of cases involving children who have survived unimaginable trauma in their home countries, only to be thrust into a complex and adversarial immigration system that forces them to plead their case alone, as a government lawyer fights for their deportation. The Unaccompanied Children Program has provided a lifeline to these children, ensuring that their rights are respected and that they are protected from abuse and exploitation as they navigate the legal process. Abandoning them while fast-tracking their deportation cases will lead to mass due process violations and wrongful denials of protection. In cases with life-or-death stakes, this will mean children being unlawfully deported to countries where they face grave harm."

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)
Officers have also struggled to meet their quotas because immigrants are refusing to open their doors when ICE officers knock. The enforcement teams generally do not possess criminal arrest warrants that would allow them to force their way into their targets’ homes. ICE officials say they can’t afford to leave teams of officers waiting around for targeted immigrants to exit their homes.

The US is now suspending support to South Africa and allowing resettlement and "refugee" status only for white south Africans ("Afrikaner"). This is so blatantly racist.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙
