“When people think of journalists dying in war, they often imagine them on the front lines, embedded with troops or otherwise near the fighting.”

This is not the case in Gaza, where Israel deliberately targets journalists in their homes with their families. Assassinations.

[Jeremiah Johnson 🌐 @JeremiahDJohns]

In the wake of 'we will deport random people with tattoos', actual Venezuelan journalists who study Tren de Aragua say that the gang doesn't have identifying tattoos at all. It's literally just something Americans made up.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

Israel claims it shot at these ambulances because there were fighters inside.

As it turns out, they actually killed the doctors execution style, and threw them into a shallow grave, handcuffed together.

5:30pm in Harlem ICE abducts someone and a man intervenes

Be like this man. Intervene. Resist. Yell and make a scene. Record. Whatever you can do that slows them down, inspires others, and makes them hesitate to escalate. Esp if you're a white citizen

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

[layla, lmsw @itslaylas]

this is terrifying. she was detained for writing an op ed about BDS. an op ed. students are being kidnapped over this. this started at columbia and it will keep happening if we don’t stop it.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

So the position of the Trump-Vance administration — and every member of Congress unless they explicitly say otherwise — is quite literally you do not have guaranteed free speech rights in America if you say things they don't like.
That is the headline.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: 58% Millennials and Gen Z say they don't have enough saved to retire and half of Americans have NO savings at all.

What happened? A banking consultant you've never heard of named Ted Benna killed American retirement.

Along with Ronald Reagan, of course

As my Nonna taught me, cops lie ALL THE FUCKING TIME

[Remi Kanazi @Remroum]

Just an fyi, Israel blew up a bunch of doctors, medical workers, teachers and children in Lebanon today. They targeted a brand of pager that wasn’t exclusively held by Hezzbollah, and indiscriminately attacked civilians in the process. Israel will do anything to push regional war

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

The NYPD spent $150 Million *extra* last year to catch people who weren't able to afford to pay the subway fare. They owed just $104,000.

$150 million could buy free fares (at going rate) for 95,000 poor New Yorkers per year.

Instead four people shot, including an officer.

[Whacktose Intolerant @MillyTamarez]

I don't understand how the possibility of getting shot in the head over someone else not paying their fare is supposed to make me feel safer than the alternative of no one getting hurt and the mta loses $2.90

[Aaron Bady @zunguzungu]

I know everyone is numb by now, but the fact that Israel is just openly destroying the West Bank now too is staggering

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

We need to understand, urgently, that we either divest from imperialism or we get fascism. The ruling class is eagerly ushering in fascism at home to defend their fascism abroad. And we have to reject all of it, right now.

[IFPRI @IFPRI]

Food insecurity in North Gaza is catastrophic with virtually all households skipping meals every day and adults reducing their food intake so that children can eat. Nonetheless, at least one in every six children is acutely malnourished.

if you can, PLEASE donate to care for gaza, they're a grassroots organisation doing groundwork in gaza distributing food to palestinians who need it desperately.

[Mohamad Safa @mhdksafa]

Exactly two months ago, children in Gaza held a press conference in english to beg the world to stop the bombardment. More than 12,000 children have been killed since then. No one listened.
