🚨NEW🚨A Salvadoran man in ICE detention died in Folkston, Georgia early Friday morning, likely by suicide.
Luis Sandoval’s death inside the D Ray James facility comes as federal immigration officials and private contractors threaten hunger strikers there with force-feeding.
A detained Russian hunger striker today told me ICE seems to be preparing to move forward with the force feeding, as the strike reaches its third week.
It is still not clear if Sandoval was participating in the strike:

🚨BREAKING🚨 A man in ICE custody, detained inside the Folkston D. Ray James detention center in Georgia, died this week. He likely died on Thursday.
A group of detained immigrants inside the Folkston and D. Ray facilities have been engaging in a hunger strike. This is the third week of the strike.
It is unclear if the man who died was part of the group hunger striking. Local officials are investigating the in-custody death.

An anti-Zionist Satmar Jew is sitting in ICE detention in Brooklyn because of his Judaism.
Yehonatan Ovadia has been held since Aug 28. His lawyers say the government is punishing his religious opposition to Zionism.
"I'm not a Zionist. I am Jewish."
Zionism is not Judaism.

The attack on noncitizen pro Palestine speech, which state dept helped spearhead, was never only about noncitizen speech. If State Dept even violates speech rights of its own officials, whose rights wont they violate?

And this is not to say the attack on noncitizen speech is somehow less serious. Only that it explodes the lie that there is some distinction btwn 1A rights of noncit and cit.

long covid is hilarious because all the evidence we have says that it exists and not only does it exist but it’s extremely widespread and serious and yet we collectively refuse to acknowledge this reality because the bottom would fall out of the stock market if we did

Amusing to see warmongering politicians blaming the Russian boogeyman for growing working class outrage at capitalist governments over cost of living. Or, it would be amusing if it didn't contain the danger of escalating a war in the direction of nuclear catastrophe.
Russia has a clear interest in seeing looting and disorder on the streets of France and Italy. This is part of its multidimensional shadow war against the West.

Zionists routinely disrupt pro-Palestinian events, protests, and vigils, yet these politicians have nothing to say. Where was their outrage last week when Betar members disrupted Mahmoud Khalil’s book launch?

Free Ya'akub Vijandre! He is a DACA recipient and photojournalist detained by ICE for over a year for speaking out against genocide and for simply liking a social media post.
This is a clear attack on free speech.
With @RepAlGreen, I led 21 of my colleagues to demand his release.
