Wrote a piece on the occupier's indiscriminate targeting of Palestinian journalists for @inkstickmedia. I discuss Shireen Abu Akleh, Is***l's violations of international law, and demand the US end its "aid" to the occupier via $3.8B tax-dollars/year ⬇️

Western feminists would go to war to take off these women’s veils but won’t say ONE WORD about them being hunted and murdered by Israel for doing their jobs
I can’t stop asking myself how is this happening? How is it that we are seeing people bombarded so heavily they’re being flown into the air? How is this happening? How did a child get shot 355 times? How is this happening? How are media outlets we were made to believe to be credible and filled with seasoned journalists acting as shameless propaganda machines not reporting on medics who were killed and bulldozed? How is this happening? How is it that students who speak up against the beheading of babies and the theft of land deported, threatened and kidnapped while a war criminal is giving speeches and receiving standing ovations? How is this happening? That international institutions are unable to bring aid to a population that is being starved and tortured? How is this happening? That the world watched mothers hold the lifeless bodies of their children and was silent? How is this happening that the world heard the screams of children scared and confused calling out for their parents trapped under their homes and some justified? How is this happening? That there is clearly no limit for what this entity is capable of doing and yet…
While children's laughter fills the world, celebrating the arrival of Eid, Jana, a fourteen-year-old girl, lay trapped beneath the rubble amid dust and destruction battling fear and darkness. Eight long hours passed, each minute a struggle between life and death, until our hands finally reached her, pulling her from the wreckage.
But what kind of Eid awaits her now? She emerged into a world forever changed, a hollow emptiness without a father to embrace her, without a mother to wipe away her tears. Her small hands searched the air for a security that was no longer there, and her lost eyes wandered through the devastation, silently asking: "Where do I go? And where is the Eid they promised me?"
REPORT: The Trump administration is attempting to deport non-citizens due to their perceived pro-Palestinian support or criticism of U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Here’s an updated list of those known to have been targeted by the U.S. government: 🧵🔽
1. Mahmoud Khalil (Targeted: March 8, 2025)
Khalil, a 30-year-old Syrian-born Algerian citizen and Columbia University graduate student (master’s in international affairs), was arrested on March 8, 2025, at his Manhattan apartment. He’s detained at the ICE facility in Jena, Louisiana, facing deportation after the Trump administration accused him of risking “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States,” per a DHS document cited by The Guardian. On March 23, DHS filed additional claims, alleging he “withheld that he worked for [UNRWA]” and “failed to disclose continuing employment by the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut” on his 2024 green card application, per Reuters. In Newark federal court on March 28, Judge Michael Farbiarz said he’d rule “as quickly as I can” on jurisdiction and bail, leaving Khalil in custody pending a decision.
i hate to be a "historian here" ass bitch but i'm gonna. I'm a historian of US immigration and citizenship law, and i have a lot of thoughts on not only the ICE abductions but some of the popular liberal responses to them. 1/x
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in a freezing warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the site.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million
when freed Palestinians are asked about their time in prison, they first honor the sacrifice of our martyrs. zionism, fleeting and disillusioned, tries to fragment us by dangling death in front of our eyes. but we refuse to abandon our blood just as we refuse to abandon our land.
the triumphant scenes of our people finally freed from torturous occupation prisons would not be possible without resistance. without our unwavering commitment to freedom on our terms. we are fluent in the language of liberation. Gaza spoke and gave the entity one choice: listen.
in 472 days Gaza proved the fragility of empire. it can never overcome the sumud of our people or power of our resistance. the might in a single spec of sand on Gaza’s shores weighs more than the perceived power of every single imperial enemy. soon, the occupation will fall.
There is nothing left to say. The very last hospital in Northern Gaza has been obliterated. Medical staff abused and abducted. Our children literally freezing to death. Our people STILL being shredded by US bombs. There is no analysis left. There is only pain. Devastating pain.
Israel has murdered 111 people in Gaza since today’s dawn. Don’t normalize this genocide; don’t normalize the daily slaughter of more than a hundred people. Don’t normalize the killing and incineration of women, men, and children. Ceasefire now!
My mother has a similar story from her childhood in the 50s. Not the genocide of today, but with severe crop and aid shortages, Gaza was saved by an abundance of sardines that year. The sea, like the land, is ours and it knows its family and caretakers.
My friend’s dad is in urgent need of his cancer medication. Although Bassam should use one pack of the medication every month he has been stretching the pack for periods of over 3 months. Please donate and share and help us get enough packs of life saving medication to Bassam
