Outrageous attack on my colleague Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt by Secretary Marco Rubio and the US government for just doing her job with courage, dedication and expertise. I reject this act as a criminal act of desperation which will not stand the test of time. Every sane person must reject this.

Under Trump, ICE has now publicly admitted they are abducting pro-Palestinian student activists based on an anonymously-run blacklist site. Both the mass deportation machine, and these horrific blacklists, clearly run on racism.

Prison phone calls are critical: They help incarcerated people & families stay in touch. Some go into debt just for the calls. So why am I worried? Because the FCC just blocked a rule that made prison calls affordable. Now fewer folks will be connected. boltsmag.org/north-carolina…

The United Farm Workers union said it was told one worker fell several stories from a greenhouse and is not expected to survive. Seems to be the most serious injury to date tied to immigration sweeps that have unfolded over the last month. latimes.com/california/sto…

NEW: Nearly *HALF* of all U.S. workers now earn less than the hourly wage needed to afford a modest one-bedroom apartment. When I say the term "working homeless" is no longer a contradiction in America, this is exactly why.

I just checked all of the major news sites and not a single one has a story about the starvation of the entire population of Gaza, which is at a crisis point. Palestinians are dehumanized every single day and their suffering inflicted by Israel erased and normalized.

Genocide "doesn’t mean that you have to kill everyone," says Holocaust scholar Omer Bartov عومر بَرتوف עמר ברטוב. "It means that the group will be destroyed and that it will not be able to reconstitute itself as a group. And to my mind, this is precisely what Israel is trying to do."

It’s not just PBS & NPR. Small community radio stations run by historically Black colleges, like KTSU at Texas Southern University are going to lose key funding These stations were critical during the pandemic in getting info to hard to reach communities houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas…

Frantz Fanon was born 100 years ago today. Over the years, Africa Is a Country has published a wide range of essays thinking with and against him. Some celebrate, others critique. All take him seriously. An inconclusive centenary thread:

columbia just suspended 80 students at once ranging from 1-3 year long suspensions & barnard hasn’t even released their sanctions yet. they have also been systematically targeting students by tripling tuition or removing our financial aid altogether w/ no explanation

sadly, even “someday everyone will have been against this” still feels overly optimistic

Horrifying report of the long-term environmental damage done by Israeli genocidaires in Gaza: Nearly all trees destroyed; All coastal waters polluted; Debris with asbestos and other pollutants everywhere; Pollutants leeching into groundwater sources. bloomberg.com/graphics/2025-…

Israel took the lives of 53 despite a so called pause in fighting. Do not be satisfied by paltry measures. Keep the pressure going, it’s working. We need an end to this genocide. We need an open flow of food and water. We need freedom.
