This is our aquifer. The Halawa Shaft, up until Dec. 2021, provided 20% of Honolulu’s water. The Board of Water Supply announced that due to the Navy contaminating our water with fuel from their leaking Red Hill tanks, we may never be able to draw from this shaft again. Ever.

JUST IN: Iran's IRGC has threatened Benjamin Netanyahu to "hunt him down" with its own version of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile, with a senior IRGC general warning: " We will expand our military operations if needed and We will hunt you down with never seen before weapon." "Dimona will not be there anymore." per Iranian media. The threat came after Benjamin Netanyahu visited Israel's Dimona nuclear facility and warned Iran's leaders: "Do not think about attacking us, because our response will be much stronger than before."

Watching Jeremy Scahill make Ro Khanna visibly uncomfortable by needling his support for Iron Dome and condemnation of the Palestinian Resistance was a great start to the day Wish there were more principled left voices holding politicians accountable for their liberal Zionism

BREAKING: Senate Dems, under the leadership of Sen. @ChrisVanHollen & @SenSanders, unite to block the NDAA from moving forward because of its provisions to deepen US-Israeli military and intel relations. This is remarkable and further evidence the US is moving away from Israel.

Last night at a U.S. Airbase in Jordan: 4 Iranian missiles at 1000km+ range ($ 400k-600k) vs. 8 or more U.S. Patriot PAC-3 ($ 32 million) Result ➡️ 4 impacts (flawless victory?)

The world wants me to die. My incurable disease diagnosis became global news. It was omnipresent on social media and 1,900 articles were written in a matter of days. Many were saddened. However, joy dominated the commentary. People pointed to schadenfreude, the pleasure of another's failure. Yes, there’s that. There is a special place in people’s hearts that loves to see others fail, especially when that person’s presence threatens their own psychological stability in some way or helps them feel better about themselves. But, if you look over the social media commentary about me, you’ll see that pattern: “he deserved it.” I deserved it because I challenged death. The crowd was running a deeply rooted psychological script that represents the oldest, most deeply embedded stories of human culture. This was the first story ever written down, 4,000 years ago. Gilgamesh sought eternal life after losing someone he loved, only to have the plant of youth stolen by a serpent as he bathed. Leaving him to accept his mortality. Asclepius became so skilled at rejuvenation that he raised the dead. As punishment, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt to enforce life and death authority. This is the story of Jesus. Pontius Pilate offered a choice between a thief and the immortalist, and the crowd demanded the execution. People need this story conclusion to keep themselves sane. The challenger must lose and the loss must appear deserved. It’s a shield of self preservation. For if death is inevitable, their existence and that of their loved ones is justified and unavoidable. If death is not inevitable, nothing about their reality is safe. I occupy the same philosophical and archetypal position as Gilgamesh, Asclepius and Jesus. This statement will draw outrage and accusations of blasphemy, hubris and narcissism. Nevertheless, it’s the pattern that has repeated itself for thousands of years. Death has been the omnipresent concern of the human race. It encapsulates our greatest fears, joy and curiosities. The discourse around it changes over time; however, the fundamentals remain unchanged. What’s different about this moment, that is unlike any other moment, is that physical death may no longer be inevitable. What if I didn’t deserve it? And what if I am your ally, and not a threat?

@moorehn If you can read the word “bombing” you can read the rest of the sentence. This is an absurd analysis that assumes anyone feeling threatened by the shirt isn’t acting 1000% in bad faith.

Sana Saeed@SanaSaeed·
This is not just absurd but absolutely terrifying - that excerpt so clearly adjudicates what we have said for almost three decades now about how Muslims and their politics are treated within the justice and political systems. Yakuub is a Muslim Filipino photojournalist and DACA recipient who was arrested and detained specifically for his pro-Palestine activism. DHS has stripped him of his DACA - and they say they targeted him because of social media posts about the Holy Land 5, Guantanamo,Hamas and Aafia Siddiqui (all constitutionally protected opinions).
Eric Lee@EricLeeAtty

DACA recipient Yaakub Vijandre has been in ICE detention for 9 months bc of pro-Palestine social media posts & posts opposing US torture of prisoners. An Immigration Judge ruled that nothing he says can be believed because of his politics. An actual quote from the decision:

A brief explanation for those who don't understand what's happening between Saudi Arabia and Yemen... In 2015, Saudi Arabia, along with other countries, launched an aggression against Yemen. The airport was bombed and closed for many years, as was the port. From 2017 to 2022, we were under a complete blockade. Nothing entered or left Yemen From 2022 to 2025, Saudi Arabia allowed only two flights per week, and only to Jordan. Everything was inspected before entering Yemen and everything was inspected upon leaving Yemen. No planes were allowed to enter unless Saudi Arabia said okay... In 2025, Israel bombed the airport and completely destroyed it, including the planes . For over a year, Sana'a airport has been prohibited from receiving any flights; no flight entered Sana'a because Saudi Arabia prevents airlines from entering Yemen... Before 10 days maybe Iran sent a flight, so Saudi Arabia sent fighter jets to intercept it. Today the flight returned to Sana'a, so Saudi Arabia bombed Sana'a airport... Saudi Arabia has no right to control Yemen's airports, nor to interfere in any Yemeni affairs. However, for the sake of peace, the Sana'a government has been making concessions and accepting Saudi Arabia's arbitrary actions in order to reach a comprehensive solution. It has become clear recently that Saudi Arabia does not want a comprehensive peace and a comprehensive solution to the war... therefore, Sana'a has decided not to accept any Saudi coercion, first and foremost the lifting of the blockade on Yemen.

Moments like these rly bring out all the contradictions in our liberal analysis of “political prisoners.” As usual, everything becomes about the individual - whether he was good/bad, liked/disliked - rather than about the state’s attempt to estb legal and political precedent.

Fergie’s donations are the reason we have a bakery that feeds thousands of people per month. His funds also helped provide meals, water and medication for displaced Palestinians. Now he’s being persecuted for this. Advocate for Fergies release now!
VPol@VocalPolitics1

Pro-Palestine activist and funder Fergie Chambers was detained by Spanish police on Friday as the Trump administration attempts to extradite him to the US on federal charges with a potential sentence of 30 years in prison, including “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations," according to a sealed indictment reviewed by The Grayzone (@TheGrayzoneNews). ■ "The sealed indictment offers no evidence that Chambers has donated any money to 'foreign terrorist organizations.' It merely states 'Chambers made numerous transfers of funds from banks in the US to banks in Tunisia,' where he relocated in late 2023," according to The Grayzone. ■ Chambers was denied bail in an Ibiza court on Saturday and is expected to appeal for bail on Thursday. ■ This is the first time an individual has faced extradition to the US from Spain for supporting the Palestinian liberation struggle, and marks a major escalation in US repression of anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist movements.
