The sentences handed down today are a huge threat to the possibility of a democratic society. The prosecution is rife with constitutional violations, but 30 years in prison (more than anyone for January 6) for moving some magazines? 50 years in prison even for those not involved in planning the protest? The evidence of an illegal conspiracy is non-existent, but this is how the authoritarian dragnet targets those fighting against repression. Everyone should be learning about this case. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

"They got him downstairs to the management office, and the first question that he was asked: “If we release you now, will you tell your wife to stop this protest?” The second question was “Did you know your wife was organizing the protest outside?” And the third question was “Are you the one organizing the strike inside?” He said “no comment” to all of those three questions, that he wants to go to his cell. They took that literally, and they locked him in his cell. I didn’t hear from him for hours."

The Governor's proposal would not have prevented Nurul Amin Shah Alam's criminal, horrific death. That is all anyone needs to know about the proposal. Pass the New York For All Act.
New York is where people come to build a better life. We won’t let anyone stand in the way of that promise. Today, we’re building on our Local Cops, Local Crimes agenda to prevent federal immigration overreach.

I’ve been notified of two more deaths in ICE custody in the last 24 hours — meaning that 25 people have now died in detention since Trump returned to office. That’s the most in more than two decades. The cruelty and inhumanity of this administration must end.

🚨Today alone, more than 24 Palestinian civilians, including women, children, and elderly people, were killed, and numerous others wounded, after the Israeli occupation bombed crowded residential areas, tents, and homes in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood and eastern Gaza, in a clear violation of the ceasefire agreement. As the casualties arrived at Al-Shifa Hospital and other medical centers, Palestinian civil defense spokesperson asked: “When will these scenes end? What was their crime? Why are Gaza’s children being killed as they prepare to sleep in the freezing cold?” nahed_hajjaj99 (IG)

ICE’s targeted arrest of a young Guatemalan man several weeks after the NYPD nabbed him for driving an unlicensed moped shows the extraordinary cost minor infractions can have under Trump’s mass-deportation regime. thecity.nyc/2025/10/16/ice-n…

🇨🇴 Breaking: Colombian President Gustavo Petro has expelled Israel’s entire diplomatic delegation in response to the navy’s interception of Gaza flotilla activists, including two Colombians. “Here Netanyahu demonstrates his worldwide hypocrisy and why he is a worldwide criminal who must be captured,” Petro said. He also announced that Colombia’s free trade agreement with Israel was canceled immediately. Petro added that the Foreign Ministry will move to file lawsuits against Israel and called on international lawyers to join the effort.
Si es cierta está información, hay un nuevo crimen internacional de Netanyahu. Han sido detenidas en aguas internacionales dos ciudadanas colombianas que estaban en actividades de solidaridad humana con Palestina Cancillería debe hacer todas las demandas respectivas, incluso en la justicia israelí. Invito a abogados internacionales que se pongan al servicio de Colombia, al lado de nuestros abogados. El tratado de libre comercio con Israel se denuncia de inmediato. Sale toda la delegación diplomática de Israel en Colombia. El batallón Guardia Presidencial de acuerdo a su función ejercerá la seguridad de la Casa de Nariño. EEUU decidió llevarse las armas que según ellos entregaron en comodato, de inmediato deben ser suplidas por la seguridad colombiana. Esa eran las llamadas ayudas, subordinar los pueblos. Sin embargo, Colombia ayudará a todo pueblo que requiera nuestra colaboración para controlar la entrada de drogas a su país. Ana Arendt, la filósofa que analizó el totalitarismo, señaló en los años 50, que los Nazis seguían vivos. Hitler está vivo en la política del mundo, Arendt tenía razón. Ojalá los pueblos no sean anestesiados. xitter.gq/UltimaHoraCR/status/19…

REPORT | Israel won’t allow Global Sumud Flotilla to break its illegal naval blockade on Gaza — Hebrew media Israeli outlets Kan and N12 detail extensive preparations to stop the flotilla of 45 boats carrying nearly 500 activists from 40+ countries expected to reach Gaza’s shores between Wednesday night and Thursday morning – around the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur (runs Wednesday evening, Oct. 1, 2025 through Thursday evening, Oct. 2, 2025). ➤ Military plans: The navy and Shayetet 13 commandos will intercept at sea, ordering ships back and seizing them when they refuse. Hebrew reports say some vessels will be confiscated and others deliberately sunk. ➤ A Prison and a Special Tribunal: Hundreds of detained activists will be transferred to Ashdod port, then to Ketziot prison under police and Ben-Gvir’s prison service control. Those “complying” will be deported after the fast ends (starting Thursday night); those “resisting” will face a special Interior Ministry tribunal set up inside the prison rather than a civilian court. ➤ Force mobilization: 600 police officers are being deployed; hospitals in Ashdod, Ashkelon, Rehovot, and Be’er Yaakov have been placed on alert. Israeli police “intelligence” claimed—without a shred of evidence—that activists aboard the flotilla (who have reiterated repeatedly their total commitment to nonviolence) may resist “with force.” ➤ Political pressure: Italian PM Giorgia Meloni urged organizers not to attempt to “breach [Israel’s] naval blockade,” accusing them of undermining Trump’s “peace plan.” Rome later pulled its naval escort. Organizers condemned the move as “cowardice disguised as diplomacy,” vowing to continue: “It is far more dangerous to remain silent in the face of genocide, starvation, and collective punishment,” GSF said.

🚨Garbage & self-contradicting lies! If PCPA is a "wing of Hamas," why would Haniya call on them to "unite" with Hamas?!? The alleged list you have below is a list of participants in the conference, not organizers If Birawi is a "UK-based Hamas operative," why didn't the UK arrest him for the past 2 decades? Hamas is fully proscribed in the UK, even wearing a t-shirt with their red triangle can get you in prison & you're saying there's a Hamas operative on the loose running a registered organization in the UK without British authorities touching him? Do you hear yourself? You're declaring clear intent to attack, murder & kidnap international activists who are trying to bring baby formula to an active genocide/famine zone!
EXPOSED: Official Hamas documents found in the Gaza Strip - now revealed for the first time - prove Hamas’s direct involvement in the funding and execution of the “Sumud” flotilla to Gaza Hamas documents that were discovered in the Gaza Strip, and are being revealed for the first time, show a direct link between the flotilla leaders and the Hamas terrorist organization. While Hamas in the Gaza Strip is responsible for what happens inside the Strip, Hamas Abroad is responsible for activity outside the Gaza Strip, with emphasis on the PCPA organization, which is subordinate to Hamas and serves as a wing of the movement. The PCPA (Palestinian Conference for Palestinians Abroad) was established in 2018 and functions as Hamas’ representative body abroad, operating de facto as Hamas’ embassies. The organization operates under the pretense of civilian cover and is responsible, on behalf of Hamas, for mobilizing actions against Israel, including violent demonstrations, marches against Israel, and demonstration and provocation flotillas. The first official Hamas document was found in the Gaza Strip - a letter from 2021 signed by Head of the Hamas Political Bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, directly and explicitly calling on the PCPA chairman for unity. In the letter, Haniyeh publicly endorses the PCPA organization. It should be noted that Israel designated the PCPA as a terrorist organization in 2021 due to it being a wing of Hamas. The second official Hamas document is a list of PCPA operatives, some of whom are high-ranking well-known Hamas operatives. Among the names on the list are Zaher Birawi, who serves as Head of the PCPA’s Hamas sector in the UK, and who is known as a leader of the demonstration flotillas to the Gaza Strip over the past 15 years (number 19 in the document), and Saif Abu Kashk (number 25 in the document), an operative from the organization in Spain. This document was found in a Hamas outpost in the Gaza Strip and proves again their direct connection between the flotilla leaders and Hamas. In addition to being a Hamas-aligned PCPA operative, Abu Kashk is the CEO of Cyber Neptune, a front company in Spain that owns dozens of the ships participating in the “Sumud” flotilla. Thus, these ships are secretly owned by Hamas. A full translation of the document in the first comment.
