Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.
Just FYI and as a subtweet: It is truly astounding the way that panicked libs are stress-buying books right now, y'all. Let's bail some people out of jail!
"We're designed to connect. We long for each other." Love these reminders that we are not hardwired for rugged individualism
Illinois' DOC is attempting to ban one of the few ways that incarcerated people and their free world loved ones can connect: physical mail. Take action to prevent this! bit.ly/IDOCmail
Remarkable how this segment opens with Ta-Nehisi Coates describing how narrative helps shape “who we believe is human, who we don’t believe is human,” and then the entire rest of the segment just proves his point in real-time

HUGE day for my MSNBC parents, normal day for me and the homies
solidarity to all the students holding encampments on every college campus in this country. In the belly of the beast you have been the tip of the spear these last few weeks & we salute your courage against these fascist pigs in your university administrations & in blue
Joe Biden campaign officially dies tonight. With a naked and brutal display of fascism in the nation's largest city, mobilized against unarmed students on their own campus. This is what he said he would prevent Trump from doing. This is why we said there was no difference.
Tearing up on the train reading this thread 🥲 young people are so powerful, and educators and mentors that support them are invaluable. Free Palestine!

Props to the Mayor for telling it like it is. When people attempt to shutter free speech, they must be aggressively opposed.

I hope that organizations who have remained silent about the ongoing genocide in Palestine are seeing this. While appeasing Zionist funders, you signal to the majority of Americans who support a ceasefire that you don’t stand with them.
