Happy May Day! My new play Bloodline opens tonight in San Francisco. It’s a DEI horror-comedy, that responds to the racist blacklash in America, and explores some long lost labor history along the way. Use the discount code: REBECCABLOOD

This week, Dominican authorities reported finding the bodies of at least four women near the Dominican-Haitian border. All four had been deported by the U.S. government from Puerto Rico to Haiti.
Haiti continues to be plagued by unprecedented gang violence following the assassination of its president and the collapse of its government. Women and girls there face a growing risk of gender-based violence, with many living in displacement camps. This has been happening to women in Haiti for years, the victim in this photo Anise Boisrond was decapitated and dismembered in November 2020 at the beginning of the most recent destabilization.
The Dominican government has refused to accept Haitian refugees, stating that the United Nations and the international community have failed to help cover the cost of their care.
Similarly, the United States has stopped accepting Haitian refugees and has attempted to deport those living here legally. This week, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending the Temporary Protected Status program for 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S.
Judge Ana Reyes said the government hadn’t even attempted to determine whether these Haitian nationals could safely return to their country.
*Victim photographed is one of the many women murdered in this way but is not one of the latest victims — they’re not identities have not been released*

A Mexican immigrant whose skull was broken during his arrest by immigration officers last month in Minnesota says the beating was unprovoked. A judge ruled his arrest was unlawful. https://t.co/PC9ll2tDes

Indigenous leaders from across Polynesia released the text of a landmark treaty recognizing whales as legal persons & ancestral beings, a move that supporters say could reshape global debates over ocean governance, conservation and Indigenous sovereignty. https://t.co/C5Kqfy1kPF

All people of good will must know the history of body cameras. Why did Democrats, consultant, and pundits push them as "police reform"? The truth is quite dark.

SCOOP: Two Human Rights Watch employees who make up the Israel and Palestine team are resigning from their positions after leadership blocked a report that deems Israel’s denial of Palestinian refugees’ right of return a “crime against humanity.” https://t.co/HzMqWV2UYY

After being forcibly disappeared while passing a military point in Ramallah, 26-year-old Palestinian Al Jazeera journalist Hatem Hamdan has been confirmed to be detained at an Israeli occupation detention center in the occupied West Bank, after soldiers forced him out of his vehicle and then seized it, according to a source at the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

[Mosab Abu Toha @MosabAbuToha]

I have just listened to a TV interview with the director of al-Shifa Hospital, Dr. Mohammad Abu Silmiya.
He said that Israel returned the bodies of 54 Palestinians yesterday without any form of identification. Many of the bodies were missing body parts, and some showed signs of torture. Several corpses also showed fractures in the legs consistent with gunshot wounds.

In addition, 66 boxes containing skulls and other bones were returned. None were labeled with names. Only numbers.

She sent them photos of both the insignia on his car and the social media posts. They didn’t care. Now they are refusing to let her leave a review warning other people of color away from this property. But since they won’t do it, I will.

[RELIV @ArielleIvy_]

She reached out to @vrbo to report it based on their alleged “zero tolerance policy” for racism. Their reply? They said they asked him and he denied the allegations 🤷🏾‍♀️. And in fact said he couldn’t be a neonazi because his girlfriend is a Jew who converted to Catholicism 🙃

[RELIV @ArielleIvy_]

First things first, here are screenshots from the host’s social media profile. Full of white supremacist neonazi drivel. My friend was tipped off because the bumper of their car was covered in nazi insignia.

[RELIV @ArielleIvy_]

PLEASE BOOST! My friend rented a place on @vrbo for a trip upstate, only to be confronted with NeoNazi paraphernalia upon arrival. She immediately notified @vrbo, but they are refusing to remove this host from their platform or allow her to post a review warning other users 🧵

More horrific footage from the Israeli settler pogrom against the Christian village of Taybeh, Ramallah, in the West Bank, where settlers set houses and vehicles on fire.
