🇺🇸 🇵🇸 Sama Safi, a 20-year-old American citizen and honors psychology student at Birzeit University, remains in Israeli detention after soldiers seized her from her family’s home near Ramallah at 3 a.m. on June 2, with lawmakers warning her life is at risk.
Safi, whose family lives in Florida, was taken without charge and transferred to Ofer prison, then to the Moscovia interrogation center in Jerusalem, according to the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society. Her family says she has a chronic condition that causes fevers up to 105°F and requires daily medication and a quarterly injection she travels abroad to receive.
She was one of five Palestinian women detained that week, including two members of the Palestinian women’s national football team. The Israeli military said the women were suspected of “promoting terrorist activities.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib and Sen. Chris Van Hollen have both demanded her release. “I am really sick and tired of the Israeli government taking American taxpayer dollars and then mistreating Americans,” Van Hollen said. Israel has not told her family or the U.S. embassy where she is being held. Rep. Tlaib said, “Her life is at risk—our government must free her now!”
Sepan bien colombianos y colombianas, mujeres cuidadoras de la vida, antes de votar y midan las consecuencias: Está comprobado por grabaciones verificadas por informática forense: el dinero de Netanyahu, el genocida de bebés de Gaza, con ayuda de autoridades de EEUU, sus aliados, y de narcotraficantes, fluye ahora a Colombia para comprar votos que elijan en Colombia un defensor de los genocidas.
“The first thing anyone noticed in Theodosia was her smile. We’d always see her laughing.”
This Lebanese student was killed by Israel just after finishing her final exams. Theodosia Karam is one of over 3,500 people killed by Israel’s attacks on Lebanon since March.
New ad with $600k behind it is out, backing @DarializaforNY.
It features Noor Khalil, Mahmoud Khalil's wife, talking about how Adriano Espaillat abandoned them when Mahmoud was snatched. Constituent service matters! This is from the anti-AIPAC super PAC
Cuba helped several African countries in their liberation struggles against brutal colonial occupiers, including against the apartheid regime in South Africa which the US backed and supported. That’s what he means by “radical left-wing terrorism”, just to be clear.
The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!
All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.
Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.
Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.
Bolivian police have arrested indigenous women's leader & ex-senator Simona Quispe. She was grabbed off the street by men in civilian clothes, thrown in an unmarked vehicle and taken to unknown location.
The general strike against neoliberalism continues, despite the repression.
🇧🇴 Paz Running Out of Options:
President Rodrigo Paz Pereira has lost two cabinet ministers, while several coalition allies have defected to join the protests. A senator and a deputy have begun a hunger strike inside the Plurinational Assembly, and his vice president has continued publicly criticizing the government.
Pressure is also mounting from the right. Billionaire Marcelo Claure has said Paz cannot manage the crisis and has called for a tougher response, while prominent figures in Santa Cruz and Cochabamba are demanding martial law.
Blockades have now surpassed 100 locations nationwide, with conditions in La Paz deteriorating rapidly. The government has declared a 90-day State of Emergency, with Paz calling on the Armed Forces, police, and supporters to help “unblock the country.” Protesters have meanwhile expanded into Potosí, Oruro, and Santa Cruz, where demonstrators briefly took control of an oil field before security forces moved in.
The protests have now entered their 35th day, leaving eight people dead and hundreds arrested. Warrants have been issued for the leaders of the Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB) and the Katarista Federation, though both appeared publicly in El Alto this week, urging supporters to “increase the pressure.”
Meanwhile, the United States has reportedly pressed Paz to intensify the crackdown, and the DEA has returned to the country. Former president Luis Arce has had his preventive detention extended by another five months without explanation. Opposition groups have also refused to join the government’s Social Economic Council and dialogue sessions.
With organizations including the Kataristas and COB demanding new elections within 90 days, and opposition mounting from both the left and the right, Paz appears to have few viable options left. He has so far resisted imposing a full state of exception (martial law), reportedly fearing such a move could backfire and further destabilize his government.
Elegido Kazt en Chile, decidió desmontar todas las conquistas sociales del progresismo. En vez de subir impuestos a los ricos empezó a debilitar el presupuesto de la educación.
Así está Chile ahora
