today all dentists in gaza held a protest in front of the red cross headquarters demanding an end to the occupation's ban on the entry of dental materials which it classifies as "dual-use" items (what a ridiculous, absurd excuse and a completely idiotic justification)

Thousands of immigrants did the hard, dirty work of clearing rubble and toxic dust and debris from Ground Zero. Many were undocumented laborers sent to work every day with no special PPE, and got cancer as a result.

Now some of those same people are living in fear of ICE.

🚨 BREAKING:

Francesca Albanese told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva:

"They put me on a metal table, pressed my chest and head against it, restrained my hands to the end of the bed, and pulled my legs forcefully."

"I felt a rod penetrate my anus and a man rape me. I started screaming, so they beat me on my back and head."

"While blindfolded, I felt a man rape me and ejaculate inside my anus. I kept screaming and being beaten, and I heard a camera, so I believe they were filming me."

"I can't describe what I felt. I wished I was dead. Every moment."

— UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese reads Palestinian survivors' accounts of rape, torture and killing in Israeli detention centers.

More than 18,500 people have been detained since Oct. 7. At least 100, including a child, have died in detention. Around 4,000 have also been forcibly disappeared.

"What was lost in Palestine will be lost to all of us."
