The closure of Delaney Hall without the release of detainees is not a win. The closure of Delaney Hall but not getting ICE out of New Jersey is not a win. If detainees are transferred out of Jersey that’s not a win. Family separation and violence against detainees would continue.

Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City.

These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today.

Opened Google Scholar today and was immediately hit with “AI can now summarize academic articles.” Bro, it’s called an abstract and it already exists.

This is what the EU pays Libyan militias to do: A person bound at the ankles with plastic cable ties, unable to move while being abducted to Libya on a boat donated by Italy. Our aircraft witnessed this human rights abuse yesterday, the EU needs to answer for what it's funding!

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Just kind of left speechless at an invading army whining to the United Nations that the people they are invading — and killing their civilians by the thousands — are fighting back. This is a mystifying level of lack of self awareness

Rape with objects. Gang rape. Rape by trained dogs. Targeted genital shooting. Filmed. Photographed. Archived by the perpetrators. Across 12 named Israel detention sites.

The UN calls it a pattern. B’Tselem calls it a network of torture camps. Both are correct.

[Alex Colston @enoughformethx]

There's no public outcry about the unlawful detainment of the flotilla land convoy activists, because eastern Libya has nothing to do with Israel? Hmm, let's look a little closer at eastern Libya's warlord leader and his relationship with Israel.

Oh

HAPPENING NOW 🇨🇴 Students from Universidad del Valle, one of the largest public universities in Colombia, are striking against far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella until after the second round of the presidential election.

[The Debt Collective 🟥 @StrikeDebt]

Notice how universities are moving at break-neck speed to make sure their students have AI but have been resistant to paying graduate students, faculty and staff a living wage. It's not about the money—it's about what a neoliberal university system prioritizes.

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.

Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

The Netherlands gov't decided to arbitrarily revoke Wesam's asylum status to deport him to Egypt though he's Palestinian and his home destoryed, then a violent cop and his band of thugs violently attacked his wife and beat him for defending her. That's western civilization.

Rural workers in Bolivia have seized an oil field in the Santa Cruz region and halted all production, as part of the general strike against neoliberalism.

The site, in the Santa Rosa del Sara municipality, is now fully offline.

[Nicholas M. Kimani @SankarasLawyer]

Incase people don’t connect the dots, he’s talking about helping Angola fight Apartheid South Africa.

We’re in final stage of capitalism where global capital can’t expand or sustain past profits. It’s now consuming public institutions and key systems, sacrificing democracy, welfare, infrastructure, education, healthcare, and ecosystems for short-term gain.

[Ollie Vargas @Ollie_Vargas_]

Bolivia's Minister of Defense has resigned from government with no official explanation.

Right now, US State Dept is trying to force Bolivia to declare martial law to break the strikes against neoliberalism. Our allies within military confirmed that cabinet is split on this.

"Cuba’s infant mortality rate for Black children is the same as for white children. Its Black population has life expectancy equal to its white population. No other nation in the Americas can make that claim...

Science gasps for breath. They are removing all the ocean monitors to understand changes in currents and climate, and the excuse is a master class in obfuscation & double speak . (1/2) https://t.co/vs782YbcI3

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Pro-Palestine prisoner Umer Khalid, a 22-year-old with muscular dystrophy, has been dragging himself across his prison cell floor because he has been denied a wheelchair.

He hasn't had access to a shower for over 20 weeks.

He has been waiting for a neurology appointment for over 12 weeks while experiencing chest pain and breathlessness.

This is happening in a British prison right now.

I've written to David Lammy to demand answers:

[Laila Al-Arian @LailaAlarian]

An Israeli military reservist blows the whistle on Sde Teiman, saying an investigative Israeli tv news program failed to cover the systematic torture there. Captives from Gaza were starved, operated on without anesthesia, many left in body bags.

I think some people aren't really understanding, it's not about corporations actually giving a fuck. They never did. It's moreso an indicator that it *used to* be seen as profitable to signal allyship, but that's just not the case anymore, which is sincerely concerning
