This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we remember the horrific genocide that founded the so-called United States and the continued settler colonialism on Turtle Island.

From Palestine to Turtle Island, we stand with Indigenous peoples resisting colonialism and oppression.

Donald Trump calls Columbus and Israel “giants of Western civilization.” But both represent genocide, erasure and dispossession.

This Columbus Day, honor Indigenous resistance in the Americas and in Palestine.

Every other member of the Security Council voted in favor of the measure.

There are thousands and thousands of trucks carrying urgent aid at the border of Gaza.

Israel is refusing to let them in.

This is not a food crisis, Israel is deliberately starving all Palestinians in Gaza.

In celebration of #InternationalNonbinaryPeoplesDay, we're proud to honor the incredible diversity within the gender spectrum! ✨

Respecting & recognizing the nonbinary community is vital. If you are nonbinary, remember: your identity is valid, & you deserve to express yourself authentically! 💪🏳️‍🌈

There is no singular way to be nonbinary, & every nonbinary journey is different. 🖤💜🤍💛

Being nonbinary refers to identities that don't exclusively fit within the binary constructs of man or woman—& there are many ways nonbinary people can express themselves.

Nonbinary flag overlayed with text that reads, "Every Nonbinary journey is different. And all are valid."

US mercenaries have been shooting at Palestinians at “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” sites for the past six weeks of its operation. Today, the IOF and US mercenaries killed 34 Palestinians and wounded over 180 in a heinous massacre of people seeking aid.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil filed a preliminary injunction challenging the Trump administration's attempts to detain and deport him on a second immigration charge after their first was deemed likely to be unconstitutional.

The government cannot abuse its power to suppress dissent.
