Let’s talk reality. A Jewish baby born today in a West Bank community will have full rights in Israel, a vote in national elections, and access to civilian courts; a Palestinian baby born in that same community will have no democratic rights, tight restrictions on their movement, frequent harassment from settlers, and no access to justice beyond what Israel’s unaccountable military courts mete out. That’s apartheid.

Don’t let it ever escape you that it is by a mere twist of fate that you are not the person being subjected to colonization and genocide and the entire world being at best indifferent to your existence if not actively hostile to it as you sit on your perch judging the words and feelings and souls of someone who has lived through and is still living through things you cannot and will not ever comprehend.

The biggest myth people perpetuate about the Democratic Party is that their actions are cowardly, dumb, and/or bribed. They're ideological collaborationists who eagerly fund DHS, ICE, CBP. They won't rein in ICE because they agree with its project, they just don't like the optics

The reason why the Democrats have no intention of abolishing ICE is because that agency is one part of a much broader assault on democratic rights represented by the measures in the "Patriot Act". If the existence of ICE is called into question then the rest of DHS could start to be as well. That is politically unacceptable to the US ruling class as a whole as they want to push ever further towards a police state. The Democrats, as loyal bourgeois servants, thus will never challenge any of the patriot act measures in a serious way.

Don’t say these things without taking an official position to dismantle ICE. Short of that, you’re using this brutality for political gain, not material change.
Democrats@TheDemocrats

ICE is using banned chokeholds on peaceful protesters. They deported a 10-year-old U.S. citizen receiving cancer treatment. They shot an American mother in the face, then called her a “fuckin’ bitch.” Their violence isn’t a “mistake.”

Banks pay you 0.4% interest on your deposits, then take your money & put it at the Fed, which pays them 5% interest on your money. Federal law bars you from cutting out the middleman & depositing your money at the Fed to get the 5% rate the Fed pays banks. This is oligarchy.

Every time there’s a protest at a synagogue or institution that funds settlements, sells Palestinian land, or hosts far-right Israeli politicians like Itamar Ben-Gvir, the media immediately reframes it as “antisemitism.” The truth is that these institutions are materially complicit in genocide, and confronting them is dangerous work. As a hyper-visible Palestinian Muslim woman organizer, I personally don't organize or attend these synagogue protests because I genuinely fear for my life. The threats and attacks that protesters face every time they confront an illegal land sale in Zionist Jewish communities are real and extreme. At 770 Eastern Parkway during Ben-Gvir’s visit in 2025, a pro-Israel mob of Orthodox Jewish men attacked anti-genocide protesters and bystanders. One woman was chased for blocks, surrounded, hit with traffic cones and dumpsters, and only one police officer tried to protect her while others stood by. An Israeli anti-Zionist Jewish woman had her head split open, blood spilling down her face, at the hands of Zionist Jews. Members of Neturei Karta and other anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews had their phones smashed, were pushed to the ground, and physically assaulted. Eyewitness accounts, videos, and lawsuits confirm this violence. And yet, politicians and the media rush to condemn the protesters rather than the synagogues and institutions whose policies, donations, and events directly enable displacement and genocide. The burden for confronting these institutions should never fall primarily on the most vulnerable, small anti-Zionist jewish groups, Palestinian & Muslims organizations, yet too often it does. Jewish organizations that claim to oppose Zionism, displacement, and settlement expansion have the resources, networks, and institutional protection to act effectively, yet they too often remain silent while Palestinian genocide is being facilitated in their own backyard, while opposed individuals are attacked and endangered. Protesting complicity is not antisemitism; failing to hold these institutions accountable is. The question is simple: do organizations with influence step up to protect the oppressed and challenge structures of genocide, or do they let the risks fall on those most exposed while maintaining the illusion of moral leadership?

In case this isn’t clear enough, Democrats: ICE abolition is the new standard. There is no reforming this. There is no moderate version of fascism.

It’s NOT “occupation”, it’s a military dictatorship! Literally “big brother is watching you” Israel kidnapped a Palestinian without warrant, legal counsel, charges or trial & left a poster at his home reading: "We are monitoring what you do online. Disseminating, writing, or publishing inciting content online is considered a terrorist crime in every sense and may lead to arrest or imprisonment, as has happened in this house. We have warned you."

PSA bringing on Rahm Emanuel - a former IDF volunteer, the son of an Irgun member involved in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948 and the Chicago mayor who helped cover up the police murder of Laquan McDonald - to opine on anything, let alone Israel and Palestine, is a textbook example of the moral vacuity and banal evil of American liberalism.

Black Panther Party deputy chairman Fred Hampton was drugged by the FBI then assassinated by local police on this day 56 years ago. He was only 21 years old. Listen to his words and see if you can discern why he would be their target.

⭕️ Gaza Tribes & Clans: Israel is flooding the Strip with narcotics while blocking basic aid The Palestinian Tribal and Clan Council says the past several weeks have seen “large quantities of narcotics” smuggled into Gaza in what it described as “the occupation’s malicious and repeated attempts to target the home front.” The Council said Israeli-backed militias were running gangs dedicated to pushing drugs from “Rafah to the north.” While Israel facilitates the flow of drugs, the Council says it “prevents the entry of a sufficient number of aid trucks” and continues a policy of starving the population. The Council believes these operations are not incidental but part of “multiple methods aimed at drowning society, destroying its fabric, and striking its moral and social foundations, in a systematic war targeting Palestinian youth, the backbone of the future.” It calls the fight against this wave of narcotics a “national and moral obligation” that demands unified action and vigilance across families, institutions, and authorities. Anyone involved in smuggling or distribution, it says, is committing “a national betrayal that harms the security and values of society.” ——— Previous reports by various Arabic outlets, including Ultra Palestine in June, documented Israel’s introduction of “massive amounts of the most dangerous drugs through various new methods,” as it deprived civilians of food, medicine, and essentials. Earlier, during the ongoing genocide, authorities in Gaza said they found Oxycodone pills inside flour sacks distributed at U.S.-run aid centers - see linked post.

Gaza Gov’t Media Office: Oxycodone Found in U.S.-Backed Aid Flour Bags The Gaza Government Media Office has issued a statement accusing Israeli and U.S.-backed aid centers of committing a “heinous crime” after citizens found narcotic pills—identified as Oxycodone—hidden inside flour bags distributed through the controversial “death trap” centers. ➤ Four separate testimonies have been collected so far, with officials warning that some pills may have been crushed and mixed into the flour itself—posing a direct threat to public health. ➤ The Media Office blamed the Israeli occupation for using drugs as a “soft weapon” in a “dirty war” aimed at dismantling Palestinian society from within, calling it an extension of the ongoing genocide. ➤ The statement urges Palestinians to avoid the aid centers, inspect all flour supplies, and report any suspicious substances. Families were also urged to educate children on the risks of both narcotics and visiting the sites. ➤ The release called on the UN Human Rights Council and ICC to immediately shut down the aid centers and enforce aid delivery only through official UN bodies like UNRWA. ➤ According to Gaza authorities, the so-called “death traps” have already caused the deaths of 549 people, injured over 4,000, and led to 39 deaths from starvation in just one month.
