Thinking today of the thousands of political prisoners unable to be with their families on this day.
People like Salman al-Odah, Abdulhadi al-Khawaja, Salma al-Shehab, Ahmed Mansoor and so many others who have been unjustly imprisoned. #FreeThemAll #EidAlFitr

NYT investigation: The Saudi-led military coalition in Yemen bombed the home of a construction worker in Saada, killing 9 family members — including 5 children — and injuring 19, relatives said. Fragments of U.S.-made munitions were found at the scene.

I was kidnapped by Israeli settler-soldiers and the real nightmare began when they found out I was a journalist.

Elon Musk dropped nearly half a billion dollars on the midterms.
98% of the money he spent on specific candidates went to losers.

These violent settlers are still besieging this Palestinian family home - *one month* after they first set themselves up outside Yousef Shanaran’s front door… the Israeli army still not forcing them out the area
A new Israeli govt could be formed fairly soon - led by Gadi Eisenkot who has promised to crack down on settler violence (even though he supports settlement expansion - deemed illegal internationally)
For now, high levels of attacks still continuing
This is the moment Channel 4 News Foreign Affairs Correspondent Secunder Kermani was charged at by a group of Israeli settlers in the Occupied West Bank.
The settlers have laid siege to a Palestinian home, while nearby Israeli soldiers keep watch but do not intervene.
Violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have risen dramatically over the past two years, while Israel's government has approved a record number of new settlements.

Who gives a fuck that Abdul El-Sayed underperformed, Abdul deserves to be as smug as possible getting to be America’s first Muslim senator over this total gutter racism. Let these degenerate Islamophobes cry, I drink their tears. Free Palestine
Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed gave his victory speech in Arabic last night. Rep. Ilhan Omar addressed her victory party in Somali.
And this morning, Iran's supreme leader posted that America's collapse "has accelerated."
What should we make of these acceptance speeches? @SulkinMaya
Community note
Abdul El-Sayed gave his victory speech in English.

21-year-old Iranian twins Taraneh and Romina Rahimi - one sentenced to death, the other to 25 years in prison for protesting their govt - have had their suit alleging torture and threats of rape dismissed and their lawyer jailed. The cousin who helped raise them tells me they now “look to the world to hear their voice.”

.@AbdulElSayed makes the fundamental point that criticism of Israel's misconduct is not necessarily a swipe at Jews any more than criticism of Egypt's misconduct is is a swipe at Arabs. If you don't care for human rights for all, you don't actually care about human rights at all.
I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

After weeks of worrying about my mother’s safety, having my face plastered on attack ads against Abdul, right wing media overturning every stone in my life, trackers showing up to my events, hate messages & death threats filling my inbox, it was nice to actually sleep last night.

Israeli authorities must immediately release Palestinian farmer and land defender Ghassan Najjar who was arrested solely because of his peaceful activism to protect the olive harvest season in Burin, a village in the northern occupied West Bank.

“No more military aid to the extremist government in Israel… what they’ve done to the Palestinians is genocidal…” Bernie Sanders tells BBC Newsnight.
The presenter is quick to interject that “the Israeli government would deny they’re extremist…”
Why are we still doing this?

NEW poll: A supermajority of Jewish Americans believe Israeli & AIPAC actions increase antisemitism.
80% say Israel’s actions in Gaza & the West Bank increase antisemitism in the US.
66% say AIPAC’s campaign spending against candidates critical of Israel increases antisemitism.

Today, Saudi Arabia's authorities executed five more Ethiopian nationals in the Asir region on charges of “smuggling hashish.”
This brings the total number of Ethiopian nationals executed on such charges since September 2024 alone to at least 68.
