❤️🔥 VICTORY: On August 7, an Illinois federal judge not only dismissed the frivilous O'Hare lawsuit targeting Palestinian organizations and BIPOC organizers, but also sanctioned the zionist plaintiff Christopher Manhart for bringing such a stupid claim.
Zionists fail at mobilizing on the streets so they take it to the courts.
Since Oct 7, Zionists have waged lawfare and have attacked pro-Palestine organizations and organizers, including myself, through various baseless lawsuits.
Yesterday, we filed a motion to dismiss.

MISSING CONTEXT: this mural is from 2023, referencing Kamala Harris's line to then-VP Pence during the 2020 Vice Presidential debates. It has nothing to do with recent protests at a Harris rally, as it has been there for almost a year beforehand.

Let's set the record straight. Israel NOT only holds more than 5,000 Palestinian political prisoners, but ALSO holds Palestinian dead bodies as hostages. So when you speak of "letting the israeli hostages go" know your context.

The level of risk WOL & their protestors take everyday on the streets by merely marching is insane - they risk being brutalized, arrested, & hospitalized by NYPD to make sure there's no business as usual. Wishing Abdullah & every person putting their bodies on the line safety
🚨UPDATE: As of 3:30pm, Abdullah is still in state custody and is waiting to be arraigned. He was treated at a hospital and transferred to central bookings around 5am. He was with an attorney and family member in the hospital and they have reported he is conscious and alert. An attorney attempted to deliver prescribed medication but was turned away by police and court staff. We expect him to be arraigned later today and will provide updates as we receive them. Abdullah has shown up for his community and his people endlessly, it’s time we show up for him. For now, we ask that friends and comrades post the statement and graphics on the WOL Twitter/X account to expose the NYPDs violence against not only Abdullah, but dozens of other New Yorkers. Folks should also feel encouraged to make their own statements to show wider community support for Abdullah and all New Yorkers of conscience protesting against this genocide. NYPD violence cannot continue to be normalized. #WeStandWithAbdullah

In Palestine when I was with my family, they told me about how when they hear of the IOF coming, they quickly hide all their gold and money because they know the IOF will steal it all during their house raids.
Israel’s Defence Ministry says its forces seized about five million Israeli shekels in cash (approximately $1.33m) in their operations in the Gaza Strip, adding that the money would be put into Israel’s treasury.
