"I was born in #California [...] I pledged allegiance to the flag and to the United States of America every morning throughout my public-school education. None of this seems relevant now—not with #ICE and other federal agents in military gear storming public spaces; indiscriminately apprehending brown people regardless of criminal history, citizenship, or immigration status; and denying them due process."

"[A]ctivists who have disarmed weapons systems have been acquitted by juries because their actions were aimed at preventing war crimes. [...] Such an outcome is exactly what the government is trying to avoid. In taking #PalestineAction activists to court on charges of criminal damage, they risk exposing the chasm between government policy and public opinion."

Tomorrow is the International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners (or, simply, June 11th, because the full name is a mouthful) and we're marking the date with a fundraiser!

Last year we raised almost $900 for freedom fighters inside the prison system, and this year we're aiming to break a grand by donating net proceeds from every single sale we make in-store and online!

Every book, t-shirt, sticker, or other item you purchase Wednesday will generate funds for prisoner commissary, legal defense, and other crucial support needs.

So, grab your next read, and then, if you're local, head next door to The Odd, where BRABC is organizing a benefit concert featuring four bands, local art, and a raffle. For more information on June 11th, check out june11.noblogs.org, where you can also find a list of individuals supported by the campaign.

"Beyond targeting the mere content of speech, these efforts are meant to forestall even the acknowledgment of Palestinian life. Our mere identity as #Palestinians is controversial, we are told; not even our children, not even our dead, can be celebrated or memorialized." - Jennifer Zacharia

'The #Trump administration’s crackdowns on pro-Palestinian #activism look eerily similar to a conservative proposal to target universities and international students it claims are part of a “terrorist support network”.

'Who is behind the plan, and what will its impact be?'

Understanding the Immigration Crackdown

"[T]hough the sheer speed and spectacle of the offensive makes it appear new, many of the legal and enforcement tools at play are old, with the administration drawing on Cold War-era laws, War on Terror-era agencies, and Obama- and Biden-era precedents."

Jewish CurrentsUnderstanding the Immigration CrackdownDeportation defense lawyer Sophia Elena Gurulé and immigration reporter Tanvi Misra unpack the Trump administration's multi-front war on noncitizens.

"If history is any guide, rescuing the rights now being rolled back will require a range of tactics, including vigorous #protest itself. It will also require building broad and unwavering consensus about the speciousness of the rationales being offered for today’s draconian crackdowns."

This Is Palestine Justice for Mahmoud Khalil: A Conversation with Dr. Noor Abdalla, wife of Mr. Khalil | This Is PalestineIn this episode, we hear from Dr. Noor Abdalla, a Syrian-American dentist and the wife of Mr. Mahmoud Khalil, a prominent Palestinian student activist and legal U.S. resident who has been illegally detained by ICE since March 8, 2025, for speaking out about Palestinian rights. Mr. Khalil was abducted by ICE while coming home from a Ramadan iftar with Dr. Abdalla, who was 8 months pregnant at the time. Mr. Khalil’s chilling abduction has sent shockwaves through student and activist communities around the world. In her own words, Dr. Abdalla recounts the horrific moment her husband was taken in front of her and speaks with host Diana Buttu about the ongoing toll this separation has taken on their lives. On April 21, Dr. Abdalla gave birth to their first child without Mahmoud by her side. In a cruel decision, the Department of Homeland Security denied Mr. Khalil’s request and permission to attend the birth of his first child, whom Mr. Khalil has only met over video. While speaking with Ms. Buttu, Dr. Abdalla not only delivers a powerful call for her husband’s freedom, but she also states that this is not just about Mahmoud; this is about all of us, and we must refuse to be silent about Palestinian rights and continue to speak out during times of injustice. Mr. Khalil is one of the many students and scholars being targeted by the Trump administration for speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and demanding that the US stop supplying weapons to Israel. From Columbia University to Tufts, ICE has orchestrated a wave of politically motivated unlawful detentions—often in public, and without warning or due process. Please see below the ways you can learn more about the call for Mr. Khalil’s freedom and safe return home with his family: IG: @justice4mahmoud https://www.instagram.com/justice4mahmoud/?igsh=MXA5aXR0Zzh4a3k4dA%3D%3D#

'Terms like “quislings,” “Thermidor,” “Vichy,” and “submission” have circulated widely in articles denouncing #Columbia’s surrender, zeroing in on betrayal as the proper note to strike. But it is not really betrayal when those committing the action have no investment in the principles betrayed.'

"#Betar US claims responsibility for giving names of pro-Palestinian activists, including #MahmoudKhalil, to the #Trump administration. We examine Betar’s roots, reach, and the institutions that surround it. Who’s backing this group, and why are students its latest target?"
