We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...
A Day for Gaza
Today, The Nation is turning over its website exclusively to stories from Gaza and its people. This is why.

The entire world of “Epstein,” DHS gestapo in our streets, wholesale slaughter of children in Gaza - is anything worth this.

Here's Phil Foglio's 1983 cover for Robert Asprin's Hit or Myth.

The model for the demon was Foglio's friend Greg Ketter, owner of Dreamhaven Books in Minneapolis, who was recently photographed walking through tear gas at age 70 to protest the ongoing ICE invasion

facts
in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.

The attack on Venuzela sovereignty is a straightforwardly condemnable act.

America is the thief of the world & the future. It is a bipartisan regime, built on indigenous blood & fueled by stolen oil. You pay taxes to rip apart countries for the sole benefit of CEOs & shareholders. Rip it up.
