My friend @khaledalhajahmed.bsky.social a Palestinian from Gaza I got to know last year, has moved his fundraiser for a Palestinian friend to a better venue. That friend needs to raise school funds to meet UK visa requirements and stay in safety. Please donate if you can

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

BREAKING

The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

SEIU California President David Huerta Injured, Detained at ICE
Raid in Los Angeles
Los Angeles - David Huerta, President of SEIU California and SEIU- United Service Workers West was injured and detained at an ICE raid in Los Angeles today while exercising his First Amendment right to observe and document law enforcement activity.
Tia Orr, Executive Director of SEIU California, made the following statement:
"SEIU California members call for the immediate release of our President, David Huerta, who was injured and detained at the site of one of today's ICE raids in Los Angeles. He is now receiving medical attention while in custody.
"We are proud of President Huerta's righteous participation as a community observer, in keeping with his long history of advocating for immigrant workers and with the highest values of our movement: standing up to injustice, regardless of personal risk or the power of those perpetrating it.
"We call for an end to the cruel, destructive, and indiscriminate ICE raids that are tearing apart our communities, disrupting our economy, and hurting all working people. Immigrant workers are essential to our society: feeding our nation, caring for our elders, cleaning our workplaces, and building our homes."

The liberal insistence that Trump et al are just “stupid” and not deliberate in their choice of words and policies is absolutely infuriating. If they’re just “stupid” and you can’t beat them, then what are you? They’re intentional. They’re brutal. They’re organized. And they’re genuinely dangerous.

So @asanews.bsky.social censored *the* Ruth Milkman’s obituary to her friend, to remove mention of attempts to sabotage his tenure by colleagues due to his politics & advocacy for students. They also censored mention of attacks on him by Zionists.

Now. Censoring examples of resistance! Wow.

Hello NYers, please poke your City Council rep if they aren't signed onto the CURB Act which would prohibit NYPD SRG patrol from quashing peaceful protest with over-the-top crowd control tactics.

Hanaa is Sanaa’s sister who I’ve shared on here. Mohamed was killed last week while on the roof of their house, he was the one managing Sanaa’s account (which I had posted on here) so they lost access to that fundraiser. Please help Hanaa if you are able. The situation in Gaza is dire.

The second is Areej. I really thought more support would come for Areej, an OBGYN from Gaza who just wants to finish her education to go home and replace those who have been killed. I was hoping physicians on here would sponsor her. There's still time:

I’m back with the next installment of the Voices of Gaza series. Here I feature Areej, who dreams of completing her medical training in obstetrics and gynecology.

As always, please donate and share widely.

For as long as she can remember Areej has wanted to become a doctor.

#Sudan’s Rapid Support Force (the militia formerly known as the janjaweed) have executed 31 civilians, including children, in what experts are calling the largest recorded mass killing in the capital region. Unfortunately the soldiers made a disturbing video of the event and it is circulating.

Recently I attended a know your rights training for travel. If you are an immigrant (of any status) or someone who is vocal on Palestine here are some precautions:

1. Use burners/ leave electronics at home.
2. If you take them use a 15 digit passcode, harder to crack.
3. Do not unlock them 1/
