Hi everyone. Reactivating twitter to share this I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA at the end of last week because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne on Sat 6am and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Mayoral candidate Brad Lander was cuffed and detained by ICE agents after asking to see a warrant for people who were detained after an immigration hearing. Video from the city comptroller’s press secretary Chloe Chik (Bristow). She says he’s still being held in 26 Federal Plaza.

Most don’t realize Brad Lander goes to immigration court to accompany immigrants because ICE agents wait in hallways and by elevators to detain those without lawyers. ICE operates in the shadows. But when most Americans see the reality of mass deportation, they don't support it.

Lots of well intentioned people pointing to this as ICE being “out of control” when it’s actually ICE functioning as designed. We see similar language when the police do something egregious enough to get public attention. Arms of the state are not out of control, they are and

Hey Mayor Eric Adams, circling back on this tweet from 3 days ago! Does this apply to the masked ICE agents that detained your comptroller (which you still haven’t commented on?)

On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

This is so atrocious. The man grabbed — falsely IDed by someone claiming he was trying to bomb the building (casual islamophobia) — is a widely beloved activist. He brings a watermelon to protests & carries it the whole march, then breaks it up & feeds people. This is awful.

Chris Smalls — the only Black person aboard the Handala Flotilla — was also the only one confirmed to be severely beaten by Israeli forces so far. There were 17 people on that boat. That’s not a coincidence.

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my

To be clear what happened here. Israel bombed a hospital. They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive. Then they bombed it again. This is known as the 'double tap'. You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.
