Yesterday in Hebron’s Old City, Israeli soldiers aimed guns at Palestinian children and journalists, forced Palestinian shops to close, blocked residents from reaching their homes, and pushed the press away — all to clear the streets for the weekly Shabbat settler march.
Palestinians in Hebron face this kind of violence and harassment every single Saturday.
Plagiarism charges against Black academics are frequently weaponised through selective, highly coordinated campaigns that transform standard citation errors into sweeping moral and professional destruction. It represents a tactical shift in broader political and cultural conflict
To understand the level of militancy and seriousness practiced by Black people in the 60s and 70s, we have to understand the sociology of that era. The Vietnam war was deeply unpopular and spurred popular uprisings among the youth across college campuses. Many nations yolked to Western empires were actively decolonizing. There were mass spontaneous uprisings, including the urban rebellions across America’s major cities. This was indication that people were ready to resist, they just needed to be organized as professional revolutionaries. Huey understood this when he wrote “The Correct Handling of a Revolution.”
If the Muslims had been a single, united hand, which is clenching its fist with firm resolve, would the nation of #Palestine have been left so defenseless in this way and subjected to the oppression and crimes of the occupiers?
Louisiana is imprisoning people beyond their release dates. Multiple people are filing a class-action lawsuit for being detained after courts had authorized their freedom.
One woman said she lost over 100 days.
A previous departmental review found that over 2,000 people were overdetained annually by an average of roughly 71 days. Between 2012 and recent years, roughly 25% to 27% of people released from state custody were held past their legal release date.
Millions of dollars in taxpayer funds are paying jails to incarcerate people who are legally free.
This is obviously an egregious violation of basic civil liberties. Regardless of how we may personally feel about any incarcerated individuals, the continuation of captivity after the state's legal authority has expired is basically kidnapping and false imprisonment.
Detaining an individual past the expiration of their court-ordered sentence is a violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This should be much bigger news.
Our federal government has an obligation to put an end to unconstitutional overdetention.

#OtD 29 Aug 1970 Ruben Salazar, US Army vet and the first Mexican-American mainstream media journalist to write about the Chicano community, was killed by police during an anti-Vietnam war protest. A 10-inch teargas projectile was shot at his head https://t.co/rEhdFZh8U3
🚨Three-year-old child Taim Saeed Mahmoud Hamdan has succumbed to his injuries sustained in an Israeli strike targeting a group of civilians west of Deir al-Balah, behind Al-Banna Bakery.
Nearly a year after the bombing of the Arhîm family home in the Zeitoun neighborhood east of Gaza City, the rubble still conceals the bodies of several family members.
More than 30 members of the family were killed in the bombing, while civil defense teams, assisted by local residents, continue search and recovery efforts amid a severe shortage of equipment and heavy machinery.
A full year has passed, yet some families are still waiting to recover their loved ones from beneath the rubble.
In a hundred years, after it is far too late, it will seem incomprehensible that we did not simply kill the 35-40 people directly responsible for destroying the planet.
