Pep Guardiola: “We are living through a very dark time in our history. We see girls and boys in Gaza searching for their parents among the rubble. Ask for help. Suffering from hunger. To be left alone. We watch them lose everything before they’ve even had a chance to grow up. And the hell continues, and with it, the dehumanisation of the Palestinian people. Their lives matter as much as ours. Their pain is not unfamiliar. Let’s not forget. Solidarity with Palestine cannot take a break. Neither can our responsibility…”

If this were Iran, or another "enemy" country, it would be the top story in every news outlet on the planet.
#Breaking: European diplomats, including French and Polish representatives, who went to the West Bank to observe the olive harvest, have been violently assaulted by Israeli settlers.
Virtually every university across North Carolina has lost its early voting site. This is a coordinated assault on youth & minority turnout.
Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine recounts being attacked by dozens of Israeli settlers.
The masked men stole her cameras and phone, which she was using to capture their attacks on Palestinian villagers attempting to harvest their olive groves. Other journalists at the scene recall IDF soldiers witnessing the attack and choosing not to intervene.

Remember when Republicans said DEI was hiring an unqualified person based on their looks? ANYWAY.

To be clear a ICE ran down a man on foot who has been in the United States for the last 34 years since he was 14. They broke both his legs and he wasn’t the person they were looking for. Terrorist organization

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.
The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.
The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

This should be the biggest scandal in Massachusetts right now. Eversource executives & employees have donated nearly $50,000 to Gov. Healey's reelection campaign while consumer electricity costs are skyrocketing. This is corruption & cronyism at the expense of consumers! #mapoli

“The yellow line used to be approximately 200 meters away from us. This morning, it was only 10 meters away.”
🚨 “Where are we supposed to go?”: Israeli forces push the “yellow line” further into Gaza
Displaced Palestinians are fleeing near Shujaiya intersection, east of Gaza City, after Israeli forces pushed the “yellow line” westward to within 10 meters of Salah al-Din Street, leaving residents inside the Israeli-occupied area.
Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed filmed families gathering their belongings and fleeing the camp.
“There's nothing left for us to sleep on. Everything has been destroyed. They've devastated us,” Mohammed Al-Fayoumi said. “Where are we supposed to go? We flee west, and there's nowhere for us there. We flee east, and it's the same thing.”
Anis Herzallah described the constant threat from Israeli military operations. “At night we have howitzers, quadcopters, tanks, Apaches and F-16s — all of them attacking us from the yellow line,” he said. “If we had somewhere else to take shelter, we wouldn't have come here.”
“We're dying here every minute, every second,” Herzallah said.
Osama Mushtaha said families had sought refuge in the camp because they had nowhere else to go, despite its lack of basic necessities. “The yellow line used to be approximately 200 meters away from us. This morning, it was only 10 meters away,” he said.

I am angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.

Ben Shapiro: Reparations don’t work.
Charlamagne: They worked for Jewish people.
(They *still* receive HoIocaust reparations) Shapiro: Erm, uh, that's totally different! Israel took $500b from America (and $30B since Oct 7). It still begs for more.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.
Today, Greg Abbott lowered Texas flags to half-staff for the THIRD anniversary of the October 7 attack in Israel.
On the third anniversary of Uvalde, where nineteen Texas children and two Texas teachers were slaughtered in a Texas elementary school. he DID NOT lower the flags to half-staff. He didn’t even mention it.
Apparently, Israeli children are more important to Greg Abbott, than Texas children.

This is straight out of Black Mirror.
Instead of stopping police violence on protesters, the French state is deploying technology to stop journalists filming it.
Europe is becoming a pioneer in repression, to the envy of authoritarian regimes it claims to be the antithesis of.
Alerte : des policiers ont utilisé des boucliers équipés de lumières stroboscopiques surpuissantes pour empêcher journalistes et citoyens de filmer leurs interventions.
C'est une grave entrave à l'exercice de la liberté d'information.
La police n'est pas une milice, elle doit rendre des comptes.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Les boucliers stroboscopiques sont présentés par les forces de l'ordre comme un outil pour éblouir et freiner les foules, pas pour empêcher le filmage. Filmer la police dans l'espace public est légal en France et la vidéo jointe montre que le filmage a eu lieu.
