When Trump hosts bitcoin bribers to a gala who are virulently antisemitic, it puts the lie to the illegal deportation of those peacefully protesting [aka it's free speech], what is now arguably a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by Israel. The hypocrisy and lawlessness of Trump and his Gestapo are all about curtailing free speech and establishing an authoritarian state.
Freedom on speech is being signficantly curtailed now as it was even under Biden. It has never been treated this way since McCarty.
AS studernts we protested the Vietnam War until it was stopped.
The Israel/Palestine war is even wose. The International Court declared it a war crime and we all know it is genocide. Since when do we do genocide with our tax dollars!
CODEPINK, in partnership with Palestine Youth Movement’s campaign #MaskOffMaersk, is applying pressure on Maersk, the multinational shipping company sending military cargo to Israel. In unmasking Maersk, we’ve learned that Zurich Insurance insures Maersk’s weapons shipments to Israel for its genocide in Gaza.
On May 15, Nakba Day, they attempted to speak with Zurich Insurance in Chicago — they responded by kicking us out of the building.
Join the campaign and sign the letter: Zurich: Stop Insuring Genocide!
In 2024, DAWN urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.
Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.
Microsoft workers oppose ties with Israel. Microsoft claims that after conducting its internal investigation, with “external fact-finding,” they’ve found “no evidence to date that Microsoft’s Azure and AI technologies have been used to target or harm people in the conflict in Gaza.”
We do not accept that claim, and neither do the workers who issued a statement in response to the company’s PR.3
Take action with us — and support the Microsoft workers organizing to cut the company’s ties with Israel’s military
We need to respond to these fascist policies with creative actions revealing the dangers posed to fundamental values, such as freedom of speech. A presence at borders would be a start. Flyers about the nature of these crackdowns could be written and distributed widely including on line and at the universities as well. We need action now - beyond the verbiage.
Here's an appeal for writing a letter, which is more verbiage, but needs to be done along with those other acts.
From American Friends of Combatants for Peace: Thousands of Palestinians could die in the coming weeks, as well as the remaining hostages, due to forcible and preventable acute hunger, lack of aid, and Israeli strikes. This is not just a humanitarian catastrophe; this is a moral one.
Here’s what we need you to do right now to help: 1. Grab a pen and paper and mail one handwritten letter to your members of Congress, urging:
We call on the newly elected, US, Pope Leo XIV to do whatever it takes to save Gaza and stop the bombing, and end the starvation. Let him go to Gaza and stand with the suffering people who are being massacred by Israel and the Western posers. Is there anything more important in today's world than this?
"After a year of tireless investigation, we have identified the military unit responsible, as well as the commander who led the operation that killed Hind, her family, and the two medics who tried to save her."
The Hind Rajab Foundation has filed a war crimes complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, on May 3, Hind Rajab's 7th birthday.
To know more about The Hind Rajab Foundation, there are a couple of really good interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.
Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland for the crime of speaking about Palestinian rights:
Bearing in mind that the international standing of universities has absolutely nothing to do with the governments that (partly) fund them, why don’t those US universities that are under threat relocate to other countries until/unless the US government regains some sanity? Quite a few universities have specialist branches in other countries, so logistically this is possible. I’m sure the Canadian & French governments would be willing to assist Harvard – which established its reputation well before 1776

Genocide has been there since the inception of the nation. How else do you think we got 'from sea to shining sea"?
Since when ? Seriously? It’s not the first time it’s in our history. It’s in our DNA. It’s who we have always been. It’s nothing new.
Stop referring to the genocide in Gaza as a war as you do many times in this pic
ICE budget increased Exponentially in the Big Bill passed by the House.
Enough to hire 10,000 more ICE agents who will deport 1,O00,000( one million) annually(every year).
Stop insuring genocide!

Microsoft and other tech partners, like Google and Amazon, are helping redefine the ugly underbelly of U.S. technology’s use in war.
We’ve set up a digital action where you can send emails to Microsoft leadership, including AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, with just a few clicks.
And let’s tell Google to stop weaponizing AI, and to cut ties with Israel.
