TODAY: Hundreds of thousands in Minnesota braved -10°F weather to march through downtown Minneapolis as part of the statewide general strike demanding ICE out of the Twin Cities.
We must demand that the courageous hunger strikers with Palestine Action be released from jail on bail, and that we repeal the acts and laws that criminalize dissidence.

I want u to hear these 2 doctors from Australia sending their last words, fully aware they could be killed any second.
What they’re describing is horror that defies belief.
70% of their patients are kids…
They bomb our area nonstop to force us out.
For days, we couldn’t sleep from fear and constant explosions, we’re evacuating to a place they say is “safer,” has no electricity, water, or internet. We just want one moment wout fear or crying. Pray for us and our home to survive.
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib addressed the People’s Conference for Palestine in her hometown of Detroit today, where she paused to deliver a message to the “genocide-enablers” in the halls of power:
“Look at this room, motherfuckers! We ain’t going anywhere.”
The crowd erupted as Tlaib — the first and only Palestinian American in Congress — continued:
“They thought they could kill us, rape us, imprison us, violently uproot us from our olive tree farms, starve our children to death, and we would disappear. Well, guess what? Now we’re in Congress.”
Here's the translation of the speech of one of the dockworker's leaders in Genoa, before the departure of the ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
“I want this to be clear to everyone -- really to everyone: around mid-September these boats will arrive near the coast of Gaza, close to the critical zone. If we lose contact with our boats, with our comrades, even for just twenty minutes, we will block all of Europe. I’ve written it down so I won’t forget it. Together with our union, together with all the dockworkers who stand with us, together with the whole city of Genoa… from this region 13–14 thousand containers leave every year for Israel, not a single nail will leave anymore.
We will launch an international strike, we will block the roads, we will block the schools, we will block everything. Our young women and men must come back without a scratch, and all this cargo, which belongs to the people and is going to the people, must reach its destination, down to the very last box. That's all I have to say.”
One cannot understate how badly Israel is losing the hearts and minds of the American people - as it should, given its conduct.
A plurality of Americans (43%) now believe Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
There is no bouncing back from this...
According to the Watson School of International and Public Affairs in Rhode Island, more journalists have been killed in Gaza than in both world wars, the Vietnam war, the wars in Yugoslavia and the war in Afghanistan combined.
“This landscape of destruction looks otherworldly. Yet it’s not. It is this world. And what is happening may yet come to define one of its darkest eras. One that casts a stain on humanity that will endure for generations.”

‼️BREAKING‼️ We disrupted head of the EPA (and climate criminal) Lee Zeldin during a speech in the Hamptons.
This week, the EPA announced plans to overturn the Endangerment Finding of the Clean Air and Water Act. The finding, which identifies greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and the future, serves as the legal foundation for the Federal government’s fight against climate change. By cutting it off, our government cuts off its own ability to fight for our lives. ☠️
Since Zeldin’s appointment, the EPA has boasted the most regulatory rollbacks in its history. And let’s note: Zeldin has taken nearly half a million dollars from the fossil fuel industry. The Project 2025 Tracker shows that 57% of the Heritage Foundation’s climate goals have been accomplished. We will not allow that to continue.
These climate criminals must be stopped. They must be held accountable. And they will be.

"The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate, so far vain hope that the world might do something."

WOW!
While defenders of Israel in the West deny genocide, deny starvation, or blame it on the UN, the former deputy director of Mossad, Amiram Levin, calls it a genocide!
"The orders the government is giving the army today are a crime... To give an order to shoot at hungry children and parents looking for a piece of bread... This is a crime, this is genocide."
Bono's the Live Aid music concerts in July 13 1985 raised $100 million for famine relief in Ethiopia.
BBC later reported that just $5 million of it went to food $95 million of it went to buy guns and organize CIA backed warlords.
Mick Lynch "This govt in Israel is out of control.. we're allies of this govt & they've killed 60,000 people.. I dont know how we can say we're allies of a govt that.. is killing people [in the occupied West Bank] & is killing people en masse through mechanised slaughter in Gaza"
