You're watching US cops attacking Palestine protesters in New York right now as 1000's hit the streets in solidarity with Mahmoud Khalil, kidnapped by ICE at the weekend. This is what free speech looks like in fascist Amerikkka. Fck Trump & fck the police.

[Margaret Kimberley @freedomrideblog]

This is why they sent #MahmoudKhalil to Louisiana. They don't have grounds to revoke his green card so they shop for hanging judges and send him to a state with one of the highest incarceration rates in the nation.
His lawyers are still fighting for him and we should too.

On this day 82 years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in the height of insanity of racism after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, signed Executive Order 9066.

It ordered all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be summarily rounded up and imprisoned within 10 barbed wire prison camps, with no charges, no trial, no due process.

One day, a few months later, we saw two soldiers marching up our driveway, carrying rifles with shiny bayonets on them. They stopped up the porch right in front of our window and banged on the front door. My father answered, and one of the soldiers pointed the rifle at him, right in front of us, and ordered us out of our home. I had just turned five in April; it was May when they came to take us away.

My father gave my brother Henry and me two heavy suitcases. And we brought them out onto the driveway and waited for our mother to come out. When she did, she had our baby sister in one arm, a huge duffel bag in the other, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

That is one morning that is seared into my memory. I will never be able to forget all the innocent people, my family included, who had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor, most of who were law abiding U.S. citizens, who were suddenly categorized as ‘enemy aliens.’

Today, I hear terrifying words from political leaders today that once more raise the specter of what happened before, right here in America.

Donald Trump and his allies are talking about rounding up 11 million people and putting them into mass detention camps before deporting them.

There won’t be time for due process, to sort out who is documented and who is not. Homes will be lost. Businesses, too. Families will be torn apart. Lives will be ruined, over fear and ignorance, all to serve the ambitions and agendas of politicians.

I know, because I lived through it.

I say, never again. Not while I have one ounce of fight still left in me.

Join me. Fight this madness. Help keep America from repeating the mistakes of its past.

this video is so important considering the western media and zionists are constantly dehumanising palestinians.

[Gibran جبران @GKhalil1]

Daily reminder that my people are being killed. My country is being destroyed. I spent my entire life educating yall on the atrocities going on in my country. I need you now more than ever PLEASE do not stop speaking about my country. My family is dead, Palestine isn’t.

Some of the best habitat in the state of Texas being cleared for the performative border fence ™️. I know this land well. It should've become a preserve. I was joking w/ border patrol a few weeks ago about how little this fence will do to stop human trafficking & crime.

[Joey Santore @JoeySantore]

Physaria thamnophila, aka Zapata Bladderpod, is a rare, federally listed member of the mustard family that grows along the Mexican border in South Texas. A large portion of the population is being destroyed this week to make way for the border wall, an ineffective political stunt

Be diligent and check your child's candy this year, just found an invasive silver carp shoved inside a Milky Way. No words.

[The Associated Press @AP]

You might think those invasive plants in your garden are harmless and well-contained. But research has shown that they aren't.

Many spread wildly when their seeds are eaten by birds. Here are some native alternatives you can plant instead.

Trump has defunded the police that stop corporations from looting -- the EPA, SEC, Labor Department, Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Consumer Product Safety Commission, FDA, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

RIP a slice of Americana.
RIP the best hot dog, most gigantic “small” order of fries.
RIP a campus and community melting pot.
Black, white, rich, poor — college kids, professional, drunkards, doctors, attorneys, whomever; they loved it.
“The O” was Pittsburgh.
