🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol agents were filmed assaulting U.S. citizens outside a HIGH SCHOOL in Minneapolis, pepper-spraying students as agents swarmed the school entrance. Let that sink in. School administrators and staff desperately tried to get agents off school property, while ushering students away from armed federal agents. Chaos. Panic. Children running for safety. And yes… agents pepper-sprayed STUDENTS. This didn’t happen by accident. This happened because the Trump administration stripped schools of their “sensitive location” protections, opening the door for ICE and Border Patrol to operate on school grounds. In plain terms: The federal government intentionally removed protections that once kept armed agents away from children, and now we are watching the predictable result… kids being assaulted with chemical weapons at school. Outside a high school. In broad daylight. On U.S. soil. This is not “border security.” This is state violence. And it’s being unleashed on children.

The Feminist Peace Playbook, a project organized by the @antiwarfeminist and @igli_du, is a roadmap to transforming US foreign policy. Join us at #CSW69 as we launch a new resource, uplifting lessons from grassroots feminist campaigns to inform movements, policymakers, and more.

The deadline to apply for the latest fellowship cohort is just one week away! Here are the details again: job-boards.greenhouse.io/grist

I was honored to meet with @ndncollective, @wecan_intl, and @IENearth at COP29. Indigenous communities are our Earth’s original stewards. I am with them in our shared fight for a just and livable future.



The NDN Collective delegation concluded the pre-COP29 sessions in Baku, Azerbaijan; the 12th Facilitative Working Group (FWG) meeting of the Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples Platform (LCIPP) and the Indigenous Peoples’ Caucus preparatory meeting.

We have a small team deployed in Baku, Azerbaijan for UN #COP29. When Indigenous Peoples have exhausted every avenue available through colonial institutions that have failed us, fighting for and obtaining international safeguards has been critical in advancing our rights.




BREAKING: Today, more than 1000 authors are launching a mass boycott of Israeli publishers who are complicit in the dispossession of the Palestinian people. This declaration amounts to the largest cultural boycott of Israeli institutions in history. lithub.com/hundreds-of-au…
