"IcE and the I_raeli Military Are 2 Sides of the Same Coin — We Must Resist Both"-- unlike hypocrite @SenAlexPadilla who was himself assaulted by IcE thugs but who supports the thugs assaulting Gaza. https://t.co/jSddIc4pxP
@PressSec So you want these people to be left on the ER floor to die, do I have that right?
I'd much rather my taxes go to saving a human being's life than to sending US bombs, signed by US politicians, overseas to drop on human beings.
@atrupar Yes, taxpayers. That includes the undocumented immigrants who pay billions in taxes and created a $35B Medicare surplus. All for emergency care that accounts for less than 0.5% of Medicaid spending. It's called being a civilized society. Look it up.
@PatrickRuffini This is why I have abandoned neoliberalism and intellectuals warned against liberals. The stupid is REAL.
Imagine, after all of the evidence and seeing the results of that rotten administration and proclaiming we repeat that 💩…
Y’all are just blue MAGAts. #idiocracy
Trump wanted to give King Charles one of Ike's swords. The Eisenhower presidential library said it could not provide one because it is government property and illegal to give away. Now the library director has been fired. @jennyschuessler@minhokimdh https://t.co/rZF5BBdkGJ
@LongTimeHistory This is a terrorist attack. They indiscriminately unleashed dangerous chemical agents on an American community for no other purpose than to cause harm and terrorize American citizens. We need to start fighting back.
@LongTimeHistory Tear gas because officials were annoyed by traffic… children suffer, schools lock down, and society becomes a playground for authority’s failed experiments. Law is a mask for chaos, administrative failure sold as public safety.

🚨 BREAKING: Adalah, the Haifa-based legal rights group, confirms that after being seized from international waters, Global Sumud Flotilla “participants were forced to kneel with their hands zip-tied for at least five hours, after some participants chanted Free Palestine.”
Adalah attorneys have since met with 331 flotilla participants at Ashdod Port, where they faced hearings before Israeli immigration authorities.
1. Humiliation tactics: National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir disrupted lawyer visits “in what was clearly intended as an act of humiliation and intimidation.” According to Adalah, “flotilla participants were filmed, and exploited in a degrading display of control, alongside Israeli officials’ ongoing smear campaign… branding flotilla members as ‘terrorists.’”
2. Unlawful process: Adalah stresses, “The entire process is unlawful from start to finish. The interception itself violated international law, amounting to abduction in international waters… the blockade itself is illegal, constitutes collective punishment, and serves as a central tool of the ongoing genocide, including the deliberate use of starvation as a method of warfare.”
3. Systematic rights violations: Participants were denied water, bathrooms, and medications, as well as legal access. Lawyers were left waiting nine hours outside Ashdod Port, only learning hearings had begun when detainees called them directly. “Several participants reported being subjected to aggression, threats, and harassment, including being woken violently whenever they tried to sleep.”
4. Transfer to prison: Authorities moved the detainees from Ashdod to Ktzi’ot Prison in the Naqab, where tribunal hearings began “entirely without legal representation.” Adalah lawyers are now present at the proceedings.
5. Next steps: Adalah says it is taking measures to ensure “every single participant is accounted for,” while demanding their immediate release and the return of their personal belongings and humanitarian aid supplies.
