HAPPENING NOW: Jewish New Yorkers with @jvplive take over Trump Tower - Mahmoud, we're with you. Trump, you come for one you face us all. #FreeMahmoud

“Come for One, Face Us All!” “You Can’t Deport a Movement!” “Free Mahmoud! #FreePalestine!” This is what real Judaism looks like ✊

As Jews, we are taking over the Trump Tower to register our mass refusal. We will not stand by as this fascist regime attempts to criminalize Palestinians and all those calling for an end to the Israeli government’s US-funded genocide of the Palestinian people. And we will never stop fighting for a free Palestine.

BREAKING: Jewish American activists with @jvplive have taken over the lobby of Trump Tower in New York to demand the release of Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil, who faces deportation for protesting Israel's war on Gaza. Police are expected to make arrests soon.

New York values are not those of extremists like Tom Homan, who openly collaborates with racists like the Proud Boys. As they seek to divide everyday Americans to benefit the 1%, we will unite a movement that truly stands up for all working people

“Black communities are most likely to face major flooding events & have 50% higher vulnerability to wildfires. While we think of wildfires as a rural & white issue, hundreds of thousands of Black ppl face > wf vulnerability due to housing inequities placing them in hi-risk areas”

🧵LET'S GO: Join rallies across Rochester, Albany, and NYC led by formerly incarcerated leaders to demand #JusticeForRobertBrooks! Robert, a 43-year-old Black father, was brutally tortured and killed at Marcy Correctional Facility by a swarm of white prison staff. Their violence is not an anomaly; it is the product of a system steeped in impunity. Locations in the thread below, starting with Rochester

Israel's war on Gaza is a genocide, says U.N. rights expert @franceskalbs, who has just released a new report titled "Genocide as Colonial Erasure." There has not only been a failure to prevent genocide, but it has been "enabled through the various organs of the state," she says.

this was stop cop city organizer mary hook’s response when asked if she condemned the arson of police equipment:

An entire family of 23 people was wiped out in an #Israel’i airstrike on the north #Lebanon christian village of Aito yesterday. They had fled the bombing in the south, taking refuge here. Two of them were babies. Only pieces of these human beings are left.

The image of hospital patients, tethered to IVs as American-supplied Israeli bombs ignite fires around them in Gaza, may well stand as the defining image of this horror.

This has always been the plan. Everyone with any common sense has been saying it for a year.

Yes that video is real. Yes you just watched Palestinians be burned alive in a hospital. Yes one man was still in his hospital bed. Yes you can still speak up about this. Yes you can change your mind. Yes you can start now. Yes we need you to start screaming alongside us.

"Wow, that was really racist... I'm a little stunned." Journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates reacts to swift backlash against his new book, "The Message", which compares the Occupied West Bank to the Jim Crow South.

"It was revelatory," writer Ta-Nehisi Coates says of his trip to Israel and the occupied West Bank. "I don’t think the average American has a real sense of what we’re doing over there — and I emphasize 'what we’re doing' because it’s not possible without American support." democracynow.org/2024/10/8/ta_n…

Maybe the last pic Please, if I am martyred, remember me and continue talking about me, because I am not a number, but a planet in itself. I have ambitions and dreams that I have always wanted to achieve. dont forget me in your prayers.

What is happening in northern Gaza is a real genocide. Today, the Israeli army forced us to flee for the third time from our previous place of refuge, threatening an area where more than 60,000 people live. We fled in a heart-wrenching scene. People are walking through the streets, not knowing where to go… walking as if they are heading to the gallows, fear gripping them. The Indonesian hospital, where I used to work, has completely shut down due to the continuous bombing targeting anything that moves around it. Yesterday, the Israeli army blocked a World Health Organization blood truck from entering hospitals in northern Gaza. We are facing an organized genocide, witnessed by governments around the world, live in front of everyone. I will continue to share updates on what is happening in northern Gaza regularly. Don’t stop talking about us, don’t stop sharing—because we are being wiped out! * These are some photos I took during our forced displacement today. #SaveNorthernGaza #Gaza_Genociade #SaveGazaNow #savenorthgaza

We are literally living our final moments. O Allah, grant us a good end.

Jabalia is straight out of a horror movie with it being completely surrounded with quadcopters shooting at people, war jets hovering above, bombs still ongoing, tank shelling. The small town and refugee camp of 1.4 km sq. is being obliterated. The infrastructure is destroyed completely and people are being wiped out. Israel has been heavily targeting Jabalia in the last two weeks with the intention of wiping it out.
