“Last March, a fog took hold in my head and never left. It settled there somewhere between the moment a DHS agent asked me, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ and the moment I realized that I would miss the birth of my first child,” writes Khalil.

A year ago, the Trump administration unlawfully arrested Khalil at his home and detained him for 104 days. “I walk free now, only after an army of lawyers sued the administration for targeting me because of my pro-Palestine speech. But the government is relentless in targeting me,” he writes. “So when I walk, I watch my back.”

“When strangers approach me and ask, ‘Are you Mahmoud Khalil?’ — the same words in the same expectant tone the DHS agent used before the handcuffs — I do not know if they want to shake my hand or spit in my face. I do not know whether they will say, ‘Thank you for what you're doing,’ or follow me through midtown aggressively shouting, ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’ Both have happened. At first glance, I can never tell them apart.”

In a new essay, Khalil writes about grappling with these two truths: “That I walk through the city afraid and that the city, in small and persistent ways, tells me I am welcome. That I am watched and that I am seen.” Read it in full: https://t.co/wQyxkGZoyk

A photo of my cat Leo, who starved to death in Gaza because of your policies, will get more attention than this empty post.

The Senate is about to vote on handing a national forest over to a foreign corporation.

A Chilean mining company wants to develop a copper mine upstream from the Boundary Waters, a pristine wilderness.

The GOP has to choose between a foreign corporation and their constituents.

•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

Earlier today, Israel dropped over 160 bombs across areas in Lebanon within 10 minutes.

The IDF describes this assault as part of a new operation they named “Eternal Darkness” claiming they are targeting Hezbollah sites. Civilian apartment buildings have been completely destroyed with reports of hundreds of deaths.

After the Ku Klux Klan adopts a stretch of Interstate 55 in Missouri (sponsors the area for cleanup efforts), the Missouri Department of Transportation renames the road the “Rosa Parks Highway,” so that Klansmen will be forced to clean a highway named for a Civil Rights icon.

Happy Easter, Americans. Your tax dollars supplied the weapons that killed this priest earlier this month in southern Lebanon. He was killed in a double-tap strike; he had been tending to the wounded when the Israeli army fired again and killed him.

Israel is probably not worried if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The US guarantees the Jewish state an oil supply, even if experiencing domestic shortages:

The Guardian: "In 1975, Kissinger signed what forms the basis for the Haifa project: a Memorandum of Understanding whereby the US would guarantee Israel's oil reserves and energy supply in times of crisis. . .
The memorandum has been quietly renewed every five years, with special legislation attached whereby the US stocks a strategic oil reserve for Israel even if it entailed domestic shortages - at a cost of $3 billion (£1.9bn) in 2002 to US taxpayers."

All the young reporters who haven’t heard about Mark Sanford “hiking the Appalachian trail” need to Google It, pronto.

@oh_itsapriltoo It doesn't -just- happen, you have to make it happen. You learn things about yourself, and start making more self-centered choices. "I am going to prioritize being home so that I can rest" type shit

Here’s the brutal truth from above: this satellite view shows exactly what Trump destroyed. He swore he wouldn’t touch the East Wing. He lied. The disinformation campaign claimed only the carport was coming down—pure cover. What actually happened? He leveled it all. Every office. Every workspace. Gone. Trump didn’t renovate the people’s house—he gutted it.
