Mahmoud Khalil’s court conference will be held on the morning of March 12th in NYC.

We need all New Yorkers to show up and demonstrate the mass global support for Mahmoud’s freedom.

So far, over 2 million people have signed the petition for Mahmoud’s release. The time is NOW to take to the streets to reaffirm our right to protest Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people.

We stand firmly with the students and demand ICE off our campuses!

📆 Wednesday, March 12
🕚 11 AM
📍Foley Square, NYC

1/ There are thousands of ways to protest, resist, & disrupt. If you do not like the one(s) right in front of your face, your job is not to criticize & judge, your job is to organize, imagine, & expand the movement elsewhere & in new ways.

If you want to weigh in on who gets the major-party nomination for mayor or city council, you’ll need to vote in the June primary elections.

And to do that, you may need to make a big change in your voter registration now.

Everyone needs to know that these fires were made possible by global heating, which is caused by the fossil fuel industry, which has lied and blocked action for half a century. And that this will all get much, much, much worse until we end the fossil fuel industry

Mike Casey, a US diplomat working on Gaza and Iraq War veteran, has resigned. “The more informed you become on this issue, you can’t avoid realizing how bad it is." And: "We don’t have a policy on Palestine. We just do what the Israelis want us to do.” https://t.co/R4TUUPfHwc

Jordan deserves justice. It will not come from the system that failed him his entire life.

Justice for Jordan comes from you connecting with your unhoused neighbors, defending them against sweeps, helping replace items trashed by the NYPD, & destroying anti-homeless narratives.

[beth miller @beth_avedon]

This is how you know the vote is important.

Biden is terrified of the world seeing that his genocidal foreign policy is not actually representative of what a rapidly growing number of Democrats want.

A vote like this is a key pressure point to force action. 🧵

A reminder for today and every day on this earth: Palestine will be free.

One of the 21 women killed tonight in Israeli attacks on Jabalia, Gaza, was Palestinian artist Mahasen Al Khatib.
@MahasenAlkhatib
IG: mahasen_ktheeb

Just 13 hours before her death, the artist shared her work in memory of 19-year-old Sha’ban Al-Dalou, who was burned to death by Israel in a hospital yard, with the note: “Tell me what you’re feeling when you see anybody burning….”

On August 28, the young artist had an interview with Moroccan doctor Hassan El-Halkhalk, thanking him for his volunteer work in Gaza and gifting him a portrait she had prepared for him.

[Maura Finkelstein @Dr_mauraf]

1/ The Israeli/US imperial war machine is burning people alive in tents, in hospitals. We see these images & yet we are being controlled & quieted by talk of Zionists’ feelings. A fiction holding us hostage. Everyday, a video, a photograph of increasingly unimaginable horror…

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Never ceases to amaze me that people in power get to keep running for President and lead major cities while under indictment, facing serious allegations, or even convicted when the people I represented as a public defender would get suspended from jobs for marijuana arrests.
