Eyewitnesses from #Eritrea tell of full mobilisation in several #Eritrean cities, government agents using loudspeakers for males and females to attend meetings to defend their country.

Good run! No PR but loved meeting folks from the DSA run club. (Who wants to start one in DC?) Big thanks to everyone who donated! @AndomForNY
Achy from a 15 mile long run this morning but looking forward to running the Gaza 5k in the AM. My legs aren’t fresh enough to PR but we can raise some money for Palestine. Link: getinvolved.unrwausa.org/fun…

“It was the first and last time that I’ve been able to be near my father,” Beilula Sium tells CPJ, describing how — as a baby — she met her journalist father, Seyoum Tsehaye. “We were able to enter for a brief moment, enough time that he could see me through the bars of the prison.” CPJ interviewed three relatives of the #Eritrea16, who are among the longest-detained journalists in the world. September 18 marks the 25th anniversary of the day that authorities banned the privately owned press, triggering a wave of arrests. These journalists have been arbitrarily imprisoned, without trial or access to their families, for a quarter of a century. CPJ calls on Eritrean authorities to account for their health, whereabouts, and legal status. Their families have a right to know. ⚖️ Free the #Eritrea16 🇪🇷 Read more: cpj.org/awards/the-eritrea-1…

This was excllent.
Since it is primary day for a few @DemSocialists candidates, I wanted to share my latest for @thenation which is about Black politics and DSA, and why Black voters should embrace the DSA’s insurgent politics. thenation.com/article/politi…

Wild to me how many leftists who claimed to care about Black lives are now bragging loudly that it was never a core priority of theirs. If you think they won’t do this to Palestine you’re naive. They’ll probably abandon the cause for Buttigieg 2028. After all, we have to #voteblue!
lefties, look at the evidence on crime and policing/prisons and see if you can find an empiric basis for why they should exist. or you can read Alex Vitale's The End of Policing or Alec Karakatsanis's Copaganda.

the champion Knicks are getting Manhattan streets named after them, Mayor Mamdani's office says. here's where you can find the ceremonial street signs, which will be up for four weeks:

My favorite thing about Darializa is that when she’s talking about the “one-state solution” you don’t know, off the bat, if she means for Palestine or for Ayiti.

Such an incredible way to poison the joy of the city for the Knicks doing well. Nice way for the owner to remind everyone how much he sucks.

I would like to issue a formal apology to every Knicks fan, every security guard, and especially Jalen Brunson 🙏🏾 not because I stole his shine, because I could never. That man owned the Garden. I just got swept up in the current like a plastic bag. My energy flew out of the roof, I lost my mind, and my feet carried me somewhere they didn't belong. Thank you to the fans for the positive reaction 💫 it felt great, which is honestly concerning. Now… how about we run that back? Just kidding. Unless Jalen hits another one. Then all bets are off. 🤨🖖😆 🦁 🐂 🐺 Starbury
Stephon Marbury actually walked onto the court after a clutch Brunson bucket 😭

It’s a hell of a coincidence. On February 24, I announce a lawsuit against Betar, a violent extremist group. Then on March 4, a person with reported ties to a Jewish extremist organization, according to the New York Post, is surveilling my home and plotting to assassinate me by firebombing it before fleeing the country. We’ve seen this before. Alex Odeh, a Palestinian activist, was assassinated in a firebombing carried out by members of the JDL. The perpetrators fled to Israel and were never held accountable. For months, I’ve been exposing the connections between groups like JDL, Betar, and the World Zionist Congress. I’ve been speaking about it publicly and challenging it legally. So the question is simple. Why won’t the media and authorities disclose what organizations the person targeting me was connected to? What is being protected, and who benefits from that silence?
I wonder what violent Jewish extremist group Alexander Heifler had had ties to. He made Molotov cocktails in an attempt to assassinate me, and yet is only charged with firearm possession. No terrorism, no hate crime, no conspiracy. What info did @nypost have on his ties?

Late last night the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force informed me that a plot against my life that was "about to" take place, and that agents had conducted an operation in Hoboken related to this plot. For months, Zionist organizations like Betar and politicians like Randy Fine have encouraged violence against my family and me. I will have more to say as additional details come to light. I will not stop speaking up for the people of Palestine. Thank you for your support. nytimes.com/2026/03/27/nyreg…

american culture and identity is war and violence. it’s not joy. it’s not community. it’s not music. it’s perceived power. team usa’s celly is a military salute. it’s so weird. nothing has been clearer this entire tournament when compared to other countries.

Van Jones: “If progressives have a politics that says all White people are racist, all men are toxic, and all billionaires are evil, it’s kinda hard to keep them on your side. If you’re chasing people out of the party, you can’t be mad when they leave.”

i went to a protest for sudan IN NYC like a year before you posted this and we got yelled at by zionists bc they couldn’t tell the difference between sudanese and palestinian flags. you can’t even name who’s doing the genocide. it’s the UAE-backed RSF. boycott the UAE
There’s a genocide happening in Sudan. Men, women, and children are being slaughtered, and the world is silent. No outrage. No mass protests. No hunger strikes. No boycotts. No “actions” on college campuses. Just silence. Deafening, shameful silence. pbs.org/newshour/amp/world/s…

This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for @unrwausa, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza. I hope you'll join me in donating.

The video of this incident is just as bad as it sounds. The priest is standing there, not doing anything remotely illegal, and without warning a masked DHS agent on the roof shoots him in the top of his head with a pepper ball.
Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I can't stop thinking about 1 sentence in today's UN report regarding Israel's genocide in Gaza. "Israeli security forces shot at & killed civilians, including children who were holding makeshift white flags. Some children, including toddlers, were shot in the head by snipers.”

Girl whose record is going to be expunged // the fight is always worth it // Free Palestine, Free Palestine❤️‍🔥🇵🇸
It should trouble everyone that @Princeton is so blatantly attempting to scapegoat me, while damaging the lives of a dozen others, and that our local prosecutor is willing to comply with this obviously prejudicial request all because (the refrain remains) we protested a genocide.
