Fucking wild story here, people need to go to prison for this

Chuck D at Power to the People Festival: "This concert is not brought to you by Ed Sheeran's promoters. Free Palestine. Free Haiti. And please, free a closed mind."

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Homan is probably right: ICE is setting records for arrests. And the way they’re doing that? For the first time in the agency’s history, a MAJORITY of people arrested have no criminal record whatsoever.

hey so everyone involved in this should be fired

A federal district judge just declared that Flock camera systems violate the Fourth Amendment! Applying Chatrie, the court concludes that extensive camera networks engage in unlawful "indiscriminate mass surveillance." A major ruling. https://t.co/GxUBzlAQA7

We are so honored to see musician Noah Le Gros rocking our Palestine Jersey on stage at the Gillette Stadium (owned by Robert Kraft, the same guy who called Ed Sheeran to kick Macklemore off the tour)

Noah and Zach both stood for Palestine tonight on a stage that tried to ban the simple mention of it.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

[Andy Worthington @GuantanamoAndy]

Zionists really can't control the narrative anymore. Although Robert Kraft, the owner of Gillette Stadium, cancelled Macklemore, mega-country star Zach Bryan humiliated Kraft, resolutely pushing a "Free Palestine" message during his concert at the stadium last night.

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

I don't love how there's a semi permeable income membrane -- a "ceiling" maybe -- on a non-Evil job in the US.

[Sarah Pierce @SarahPierceEsq]

Yikes, @DHSgov saying the quiet part out loud: celebrating a 75% drop in naturalizations.

These are permanent residents—already here to stay. So this isn’t even about celebrating fewer immigrants. It’s celebrating an America where citizenship is inherited, not earned.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

These numbers are not a flex. They are proof of cruelty and inhumanity. 

3.3 million families torn apart 
250,000 lives upended 
94% of those seeking safety denied refuge
2,600 municipalities surveilled and overpoliced 
39 countries racially profiled 
75% of people seeking to be legally recognized for their contributions left in limbo

These are not victories. This is just more shameful evidence DHS must be dismantled and something new that honors our shared humanity and prioritizes our collective safety must take its place.

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

This here actually is quite damning: the Dem establishment said Biden had no role whatsoever in the destruction of Gaza

But Biden freely admits he could stop the massive US support for Israel “with the snap of a finger”

He didn’t, and sent arms even in his final weeks in office

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Choosing to have a drink is not consent, and it’s never a license for sexual assault.

New York law should reflect that.

I support closing the voluntary intoxication loophole and will work with the Legislature to get it done.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

They had a group chat saying there was “free pussy” and one responded to ask “Shop still open?”

This is victim blaming and disgusting to publish.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Victor Wembanyama was asked if he would ever sign a deal with a sports betting company: “Absolutely not. Honestly, I think it’s very sad to see some players promote it.”

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the people who did this walk among us. we are rehabilitating those in the biden admin who facilitated this already. the trump admin is continuing it. the triggermen get to roam our streets and those who demand accountability for this heinous crime are treated like criminals.

[Sami Gold @souljagoyteller]

There’s this bizarre tendency among Zionists to ask you to “understand” what Israelis are going through and their “trauma”, as if being bombed straight for 3 years wouldn’t also give Palestinians horrifying trauma
