Regendans"Protesters Target New York Real Estate Expo over Sale of Illegal Israeli Settlements
In New York, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan Thursday evening to disrupt a pro-Israel, so-called real estate expo that promotes the sale of illegal Israeli settlements in Jerusalem. Activists have described the sales as “part of an initiative to bolster the pipeline of Americans settling on stolen Palestinian land.” Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion reportedly attended the event. This is Rosa Martinez, an activist with the Global Sumud Flotilla who just returned to New York after being abducted by Israeli forces in international waters.
Rosa Martinez: “I just arrived from the Gaza flotilla about four days ago. I had been missing a lot of these illegal land sales. But to me, just coming back and entering this space, it just kind of goes to show how interconnected and how global our work is. I mean, you know, we were detained by the Israeli occupation forces last week, and, you know, that is a military that trains the NYPD. The NYPD has a bureau in Tel Aviv, and you know, a lot of the tactics that the Israelis use on us are just the amplified tactics that the NYPD uses on, like, Brown, Black and immigrant communities here in New York City.”

“Designed to Break You”: Gaza Flotilla Activists Faced Violence, Sexual Abuse in Israeli Detention
“I could hear screaming the whole time.” Our guests Alex Colston and Haitham Arafat spent days in Israeli custody after being abducted from a humanitarian mission sailing to Gaza. They share accounts of violence, abuse and torture at the hands of Israeli soldiers. “The process that they have there in the jail was designed to break you as a human,” says Arafat, a Palestinian American activist born in Gaza who has taken part in multiple missions attempting to break Israel’s long-standing siege. Over 100 members of his family have been killed in Gaza since October 7, 2023. While incarcerated, the activists were visited by Israel’s minister of national security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who was recently banned from France after publicly ridiculing flotilla members. “They call us provocateurs, or they say we’re terrorists … and yet, whenever Ben-Gvir shows up to these things, he’s the one provoking us,” says Colston, a journalist who was previously detained by Israel while sailing with the Global Sumud Flotilla last year.

“It’s About People Feeding Their Families”: Indigenous-Led Anti-Austerity Protests Rock Bolivia
Protests in Bolivia are demanding the resignation of Rodrigo Paz, the country’s first right-wing president in decades. Since Paz took office in November 2025, the country has been placed under austerity measures that have led to a surge in poverty rates for much of Bolivia’s rural and working-class population. We speak to Kathryn Ledebur, director of the Andean Information Network in Cochabamba, Bolivia, about the monthlong protests. “Bolivia is a country where, for 19 years, Indigenous people and social movements enjoyed equal rights and political inclusion,” she explains. “There’s a huge break between what Paz promised and what he’s done in practice, which is select a white, upper-middle-class Cabinet with only two women, reject any genuine dialogue, reject interaction with the Bolivian social movements, or even have any empathy for people and what they’re going through day to day.” Ledebur also discusses the Paz administration’s growing ties with the Trump administration as the U.S. seeks to expand its so-called war on drugs throughout Latin America.

“Subversion of Law and Order”: ICE Violence Escalates at Newark’s GEO-Run Jail, Delaney Hall
We get an update on protests at Newark, New Jersey’s Delaney Hall, an ICE facility owned and operated by the private prison company GEO Group, where hundreds of immigrant detainees have been on a hunger and labor strike for the past week demanding their immediate release. New Jersey Congressmember Analilia Mejía recently toured the facility and spoke to people who described being arrested and detained after attending routine ICE check-ins, being held for months in appalling conditions even after signing voluntary deportation orders, and being hospitalized after they were beaten and pepper-sprayed by armed ICE agents. “What we need to understand is that this is a for-profit model, and they are failing human beings,” she says. “The reality is that this is a rogue administration that has handed undue power to agencies, to ICE agents and to entities like GEO Group [that] are now acting with impunity.” Meanwhile, says Li Adorno, a community organizer with the immigrant rights group Movimiento Cosecha, protests outside the facility in solidarity with the strike have grown increasingly contentious. Local investigative journalist Bob Hennelly explains that the Trump administration’s targeting of Newark for immigration enforcement has escalated since federal agents arrested and charged Newark Mayor Ras Baraka and New Jersey Congressmember LaMonica McIver with trespassing after inviting them into Delaney Hall last May. Hennelly says “there’s a much broader implosion of the administration of law in New Jersey … [and] a collapse of federal law enforcement in Newark.”

Meet Nadia Milleron: Jury Awards Family $50M for Daughter’s Death in Boeing Crash
A jury in Chicago has ordered Boeing to pay nearly $50 million to the family of Samya Stumo, a 24-year-old who was one of a total of 346 people killed in a pair of Boeing 737 MAX jet crashes less than a decade ago. Stumo died aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 in March 2019, just months after another 737 MAX jet, a recently introduced model at the time, crashed in Indonesia. “They knew that there was a malfunction with the plane. The plane crashed in Indonesia, and then somebody inside the company decided to keep flying the plane and did not fix whatever it is that was wrong,” says Stumo’s mother, Nadia Milleron. Milleron adds that while her family welcomes the latest settlement, she plans to continue pursuing legal action and serious scrutiny of Boeing’s safety practices. “This trial that we just had was not about accountability,” she explains. “This idea that they can just pay money and then continue on with the same behavior, that’s what we object to, and that’s why we want to expose what they’re actually doing in the company that could have caused these crashes.”
