@redveil at UCSC Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

Students around the world will not stop until our institutions withdraw their support of the genocide.

$10,000 was raised for direct mutual aid into Gaza.

@UofCalifornia & @UCPrezDrake—the whole world is watching

GOOD MORNING NEW YORK CITY.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.  Americans do not want this. They do not want another war in pursuit of regime change. They want relief from the affordability crisis. They want peace.

I am focused on making sure that every New Yorker is safe. I have been in contact with our Police Commissioner and emergency management officials. We are taking proactive steps, including increasing coordination across agencies and enhancing patrols of sensitive locations out of an abundance of caution.

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

Journalist Saleh Al-Ja'frawi has reportedly been killed in the Al-Sabra neighborhood of Gaza City.
He was known for documenting Gaza's pain and resilience through his powerful visuals and words - a voice of truth in one of the world's most dangerous places for journalists.

“One of the best things you can do to hold officials accountable is pay attention.” Very few elected officials were paying attention in Santa Ana: https://t.co/Gn8jEFkbQu

[Nick Gerda @nicholasgerda]

NEW: California police agencies have to publicly document how they use military equipment, like bean bag shotguns, drones and armored vehicles, under state law

But Santa Ana’s police department has been out of compliance for 2 years

No, Mr. President -- you don’t know what you’re doing.

And while you're playing confused referee, Netanyahu is running circles around you with our tax dollars.

Americans are watching this all unfold and realizing you’re in over your head and we’re paying for it in billions.

Going through footage from today, here’s a still from a flash-bang that landed right at the feet of a protester.

[bencamach0.bsky.social @bencamach0]

US Attorney Bill Essayli is threatening criminal prosecution against the @CityofSantaAna for a policy that would proactively release public records.

This is a dangerous step towards criminalization of transparency work.
