Rep. Ro Khanna: "I am sick of the tired platitude that for an ally like Israel we must not disagree publicly or in the media. Not when there is mass starvation in Gaza. This is the time for every American to speak up publicly. PM Netanyahu, let in the food, medicine, and aid. We must not be complicit."

Human rights are for everyone.
No, dignity is not conditional.
No, your worth is not decided by your gender, race, income, ability, identity, age, or beliefs.
No, justice should not be reserved for the privileged few.
No one is “less than.”
You are human. That alone is enough to deserve safety, respect, equality, and freedom.
Every person. Every place. Every time.

In #books: This isn’t a collection of poems couched in hindsight; they’re about existing within the carceral system, even after release. Each has the detail, clarity, and emotional sharpness that suggest proximity to the scenes, but overall the collection shines with the wisdom of perspective. https://www.texasobserver.org/formerly-incarcerated-activist-poetry/
As the numbers of peaceful protesters under the Terrorism Act for 'supporting' proscribed group Palestine Action approach 200, and the Supreme Court hears a challenge to the proscription itself, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights believes the proscription violates international law....
If so this may shape how the Supreme Court decides, as well as opening up another line of challenge to Yvette Cooper's anti-democratic actions.

Building the facility in the #Everglades & naming it after a notorious federal prison were meant as deterrents, #DeSantis & other #Republican ofcls have said.
The #Trump admin has delighted in the area’s remoteness & the fact that it is teeming w/ pythons & alligators. It hopes to convey a message to detainees & the rest of the world that repercussions will be severe if the #immigration laws of the #US are not followed.
#Deportation flights from the remote Everglades immigration lockup known as ”#AlligatorAlcatraz″ began in the past few days, #Florida Gov #DeSantis said Friday.
The flights operated by #DHS have transferred about 100 detainees from the #immigration #detention center to other countries, said DeSantis, who expects that number to increase soon.

The spokesman of Iran’s Foreign Ministry has pointed out that only the US and Israel voted against a landmark UN resolution in late 2021 that recognised access to food as a protected basic human right.
“Didn’t their opposition to that resolution indicate a premeditated policy of using food as a weapon of war?”
This column on U.S. concentration camps is the one I hoped I’d never write
Andrea Pitzer literally wrote the book on concentration camps. I talked to her about how they came to America.

Jasmine El-Gamal: "Very interesting timing from Macron on France recognizing the State of Palestine. This announcement does three things:
1-Gives the July 28 Saudi-French conference on the 2SS legs, show it’s not a joke,
2-Encourages others to get on board during UNGA in September, and
3-Pile the pressure on the UK to do the same since PM Starmer’s been dragging his feet, despite pressure from his own party."

Israel's leaders decided that Israel is, and will continue to be, a genocidal terrorist nation. To Israel's war criminals, "Never Again" applied to some people but not to other people. It needs to apply to everyone.

Jon Favreau: "Trump Administration sent Venezuelan immigrants with no criminal record to be tortured for months in El Salvador before sending them back to Venezuela, where the prisoners they were exchanged for included a mass murderer who is now roaming the streets of America - because of Trump."
