Almost all the Gaza accounts I followed have been deleted, Bluesky sucks at censorship.

Alex Winter @alexwinter.com · 23h

Bluesky deletes the accounts of the very real Gaza civilians here. But their plight isn't over and they rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her family. And find and help others. We’re their only voice and means of survival. ❤️ 🙏

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Finished season 2 of my #GameOfThrones rewatch and I have to admit it finishes quite strong, but the weaker Jon and Dany storylines drag it down a few notches. ( TBF the House of The Undying and Halfhand stuff in the book is way stronger than what we got in the show ). On to season 3.

Also- cis folks, guys in particular, if you see someone deliberately misgendering a trans person or giving them shit for existing, you calling that out is superhero stuff. Do it regularly and without condition and you’re invited to the trans party forever.

Marcy @deadheadgirly.bsky.social · 19h

If you see a trans person out in public and they are minding their own business, either be friendly or leave them the fuck alone.

A ceasefire is worthless when no aid gets through.

"We've not had any progress to move supplies into Gaza ... and this is absolutely critical in controlling the spread of famine," our Juliette Touma tells @reuters.com

UNRWA is still waiting for the green light from the Israeli authorities to bring aid into #Gaza.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Irish News: "Palestinians return to ruins as Gaza ceasefire holds."

The Gazans who survived have no home, no work and nothing left of their cities. They rely on our direct donations.

Please give to my friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and rebuild. And to others. ❤️
