nyt can you please have some decency about a decorated war veteran combat surgeon who saved tammy duckworth's life, who treated 9/11 first responders and was in gaza during the genocide. i get that he's muslim and antizionist but this is a shameful and racist subheader!
Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.
He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in
Delaney Hall turned into a warzone tonight functionally because the state government of New Jersey would rather crack down on people acting in solidarity with abused prisoners within a concentration camp than meet their demands and move to abolish the facility itself. Truly evil.
State police deployed tear gas, flash grenades and batons against demonstrators outside Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, as serious concerns mounted over the treatment of detainees inside.
Reporting from the scene, Middle East Eye witnessed officers using extreme crowd-control measures as protesters attempted to erect barricades in defence.
Middle East Eye reporter Mounira Elsamra said police appeared to make "no differentiation between journalists and activists and protesters", and described seeing people struck with batons during the operation.
The unrest comes as detainees continue a hunger and labour strike that organisers say began with more than 300 participants.
Advocacy groups say detainees have faced intimidation and retaliation in response to the protest.
Campaigners also say some detainees have been asked to sign English-language documents they do not understand and have struggled to communicate with immigration officials because translators were unavailable.
The incident brings about renewed criticism of the already controversial US immigration detention system, with advocates calling for greater transparency and independent oversight of conditions inside facilities such as Delaney Hall.
.@GovSherrillNJ is holding still holding 46 peaceful protesters who were arrested outside the curfew area last night at Essex County Jail next to Delaney Hall.
They are not being given the right to a phone call. This is all a first amendment violation of their freedom of speech.
If the New Jersey governor sending the state police to brutalize protesters multiple days in a row wasn’t enough, now the mayor of Newark is joining in as well, issuing a curfew and threatening arrest. Noting “weapons” on protestors but nothing about ICE officers. Indefensible.
This and the New Jersey state police’s brutality the night before is a reminder that police and ICE agents are realistically cut from the same cloth. All fascist dogs that uphold the interests of the state with as much violence as they deem necessary. Both are irredeemable.
@meganpetesbnr the person made great points but people wanted to be ignorant on purpose it was so irritating. theres plenty of cisgender women who act against their own self interest despite being a woman
i dont think you guys understand how kinks work 😭 a lot of times ppl will enjoy cnc because they are SA victims and cnc kinks allow you to cope with a moment that was unsafe and scary and make it something u can control with someone you trust. communication is key
