I will start posting a screenshot of each of these as a monument to the hateful legacy of this site in the midst of a genocide, wherein you will see "Post deleted" at some point where a person of dignity in a true hell on earth simply asked for a chance to live and eat.

Help Motaz please.

Mahmoud Al-Aruda, a Palestinian hostage in Israeli prison for 32 years, and was imprisoned at the age of 17 is mesmerized by the sight of children.

After signing up for self-deportation, Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved to an unfinished basement. But DHS never sent them the promised plane tickets.

Now they worry about surviving winter. Weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to pay rent.

➡️ Read more: https://propub.li/4ohnDm6

Article excerpt: Emily said she made clear the family didn’t have Venezuelan passports but was told that wouldn’t be a problem; the U.S. government would procure any necessary documents for them. They said the operator gave them an Aug. 1 departure date and told them to expect their plane tickets by email.

Emily and Deybis sold their car and moved with their children to Columbus, Ohio, where Deybis’ nephew let them stay in his unfinished basement apartment until their departure. The plane tickets never came.

Then the nephew was detained in a traffic stop and deported. Panicked, Emily and Deybis said they called the toll-free number again and again, leaving messages that went unanswered. Emily submitted a new application and sent more emails.

Article excerpt: ...They found travel agencies that offer to procure travel documents at a cost but said they were told the Venezuelan government requires an arrival date and proof that plane tickets have been purchased. Emily and Deybis can’t afford them.

“Thank you so much for your patience and we understand your frustration,” they heard back in another email. “Wait for new instructions from DHS.”

As they wait, they worry about how they’ll survive when winter comes. Most days, Deybis visits local food pantries and looks for discarded items in alleys and on street corners that they can resell. A few weeks ago, they sold their daughter’s bed to help pay the rent.

“We’d rather be in Venezuela with our family than suffer here,” he said.

One thing his candidacy is making very clear to me is that an electoral system that depends on the electorate having nearly unlimited time and energy to pressure politicians to do the most basic things, or to simply not harm the electorate, is not a good system 😖

True but I'm also not enthusiastic about the indicators that he will bend to pressure on moral issues this quickly. I don't live in New York but I had a lot of hopes riding on him. More than I probably should have, but it was hard not to be emotional about his meteoric rise.

Mamdani keeps creeping towards AOC-ification with every new foreign relations statement. The first couple of times, I wrote it off as trying to get his foot in the door by appearing more mainstream. At this point though, it is actually harming his base's enthusiasm for his campaign.

Couldn't have been more wrong in the quip I made at the end of this post, but I am worried that I may have been right with my concerns at the start of it

Bluesky mods aid genocide by banning Palestinians @pastures.myatproto.social · Jun 23

Mamdani might be great too. I just feel like I have inexplicable AOC vibes from him. Probably unfounded. Anyways my opinion doesn't matter, I am about as far away as you can get from New York on the other coast. And in this timeline, Cuomo will win and then bomb a trans Iranian child to celebrate.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

I was on active duty for 25 years (retired in 2017.)

I personally think he’s a clown, and don’t think he displays anything an adult would want/expect of a SECDEF.

Unfortunately, I see a lot of support in my social media feed from friends still on active duty.

I find it baffling.

El Fasher Resistance Committee:

After a year of suege and famine in El Fashir, manufactured by UAE-backed RSF, animal fodder has run out.

#KeepEyesOnSudan #Sudan

Resistance Committees Coordination - El
Fasher
There is nothing left to eat today. All food supplies have run out, and even the alternatives people used to cling to for survival are gone. The Ambaz have disappeared, and the city is besieged from all directions by militias, the silence of the state, and the indifference of the world. We write, we shout, and we appeal, but it seems that words fall into a void: no aid planes, no humanitarian bridge, no real international action, no ground operation to lift the siege. Time is passing, hunger is increasing, and death is claiming lives. Today, we no longer count the number of clashes, for they are relentless. We no longer count the crimes, for they are too numerous to count. Talking about hunger is no longer enough, for we have moved beyond the stage of complaint to the stage of slow annihilation.
We write, but no one hears us. We call for help, but no one answers. It seems that we will be content to watch, as the world around us does.
We see our city being wiped out, and we die while resisting, simply because we have no choice but to resist. A mass death, amid the silence of the world.
Time is running out, and hunger will kill us before the cannons.

this is the same military blowing up Venezuelan fishermen weekly, the same ones who armed Netanyahu for two years and defended his genocide from Iranian and Yemeni and Lebanese missiles, the same military deploying to LA and Chicago (and nearly Portland). They deserve Hegseth.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.
