- Ignore the headline and read what else their father said
Father of sisters who tore down Israeli hostage posters insists they are ‘good girls’ trib.al/Yu2QOT4 - If this is how ICE treats a high-profile political detainee with a powerhouse legal team, image how they treat everyone else on a daily basis.ICE repeatedly refused to let Mahmoud call his attorney, according to new filing by his legal team.
- Good fucking god
🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵 - Reporter: "How did the Israelis treat you?" @GretaThunberg: "That’s not the real story here. The real story is that there is a genocide going on in Gaza.” A masterclass on message discipline:Reporter: “Why do you think so many countries and governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?” Greta Thunberg: “Because of racism.” The Swedish activist spoke to reporters after landing in France, following her abduction by Israeli forces in

- Imagine if Hamas killed 20 people during the ceasefire. A1 of @nytimes, which has yet to report on any of these killings, would be "Hamas breaks ceasefire." Israel would respond by massacring thousands. Instead we get crickets from the press and impunity for the perpetrators.Israel Has Killed at Least 20 Palestinians in Rafah, Southern Gaza, Despite “Ceasefire”
- “We need to get better at treating this like a business,” Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said, explaining he wants to see a deportation process “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings.”
- And by all indications in the U.S. penal colony of El Salvador as well. This is a video posted by the Bukele dictatorship promoting its prison slave factories / fascist production program under the indefinite “state of exception.”It is not feasible to have factories in the U.S. at the scale they envision without an expansion of prison labor and other forms of free or cheap labor. Pretty sure that’s the plan.
- 🚨 The Bukele dictatorship is preparing arrest warrants for my colleagues @_elfaro_ after the outlet exposed details of President Bukele’s secret ties to gangs.“Hemos recibido información confiable de que la Fiscalía General está preparando órdenes de captura contra periodistas de El Faro”, informó hoy @CarlosDada, director de El Faro. 🧵 Mira esta conversación: youtube.com/watch?v=bQSpOf…
- As expected, Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum will collaborate with the Trump regime to kill, terrorize and deport migrants. For you know, "humanitarian reasons." The Mexican govt is spinning this as "an opportunity [for deportees] to return home and be reunited with family.”In collaborating with Trump to carry out Remain in Mexico, @Claudiashein will also be responsible for the thousands of kidnappings, sexual assaults, disappearances, physical harm, government extortion, and other rights violations that non-Mexicans sent to MX will be subjected to.
- El Salvador's vice president on serving as Trump's penal colony for immigrants: "We're providing what we might call prison accommodation... It's a service, like when someone visits for medical treatment... Any country can request the services of El Salvador’s prison facilities."
«Dicen que algún funcionario negoció con las pandillas —son acciones aisladas—.» Nos reunimos con el consigliere de Bukele @fulloa51. El vicepresidente de El Salvador nos expuso la lógica y la expansión geopolítica de su proyecto de seguridad. legrandcontinent.eu/es/2025/05/06/… - As Europe welcomes Ukrainian refugees, others face deterrence, detention, & state-sanctioned death. I wrote about @sallyhayd’s "My Fourth Time, We Drowned," and the violence of EU-funded migrant detention in Libya, for @theintercept.
