Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others.
Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla:
“People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.”

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.
Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Jesse Watters goes full bloodlust in response to Charlie Kirk's death: "Whether we want to accept it or not, they are at war with us. And what are we going to do about it? How much political violence are we going to tolerate? ... This is a turning point. And we know which direction we are going."

We conceptualize borders as a space outside of law, where we can use extreme forms of policing (warrantless searches & now execution). But these acts do not protect us; they endanger us by creating a vast, unregulated police state. What happens at the border will eventually happen everywhere.

all this talk of Columbia’s admissions procedures reminds me that a member of the NYPD’s notorious SRG put a bullet in a wall of our admissions office about 14 months ago
Columbia University has handed over its undergraduate admissions process to Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, who will now decide at their sole discretion whether the university has admitted enough white people. It's no longer an independent institution.

This was twenty months ago. Israeli forces have killed more than 14,186 kids since.
November 7, 2023 — Kids in Gaza host a press conference, in English, to beg the world for life.
“We come now to shout and invite you to protect us; we want to live, we want peace…we want to live as the other children live.”
At the time, Israel forces had killed over 4,200 kids like these.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.
He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.
He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.
This is political intimidation.

Whoa! NYC mayoral candidate and current city Comptroller Brad Lander seemingly arrested at the NYC immigration court while attending to escort someone attending their hearing.
Lander just got detained by federal agents as he tried to escort a man out of the courtroom. Lander was taken in an elevator with masked agents, along with one member of his NYPD security detail.
