If your path to safety is through the demonization of others, you’re not only going to fail, you’ll also increase the danger for yourself and others.

Read this journalistic malpractice so you don’t have to. It’s interesting that Zohran said “Israel has a right to exist as a state with equal rights” and this dude is crashing out about it. I’m confused what’s the correct answer here? 1/

Denying what Israel is doing to Palestinians after over 600 days of this carnage does not change the reality that it is happening. No one wants any of this to be true. It has been a daily nightmare. If you're so sure, demand investigations and access for reporters.

Anyone who talked to folks not on Twitter/in the party sounded this alarm and was shamed for it. We still have people TODAY trying to rewrite history. We should be furious that our future was thrown away like this not doubling down.

At the core of all my beliefs is that I do not believe in a hierarchy when it comes to human life. Yes, it can be and is that simple.

I’m horrified to hear of the attack on Run For Their Lives in Colorado. There is nothing that justifies this attack and as a Palestinian I’m appalled that anyone would do this in our name. 1/

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

Hi!! Back for my weekly fundraising ask. Right now, my office will no longer be able to pay staff starting mid-June so anything you can give us to prevent that would be super helpful. If you set up a recurring donation, we’ll send monthly pet photos. 🩵 secure.actblue.com/donate/staffruwa

Trump and I having the same birthday is really ruining birthday month vibes.

Elon quit government and decided to unplug twitter on his way out it seems

This is the same person who said our campaign office was a literal Hezbollah cell. I guess she's an equal opportunity offender against Palestinians *and* Jews.

Curious if it’ll take as long as it took to offboard my neighbor who waited for months just to process her retirement because of his stupid stunts.

Tbh, I’m judging everyone surprised by this. Y’all need to go knock doors. The electorate doesn’t follow convos about moving left or right. They figure things out by name ID, who seems to be fighting for them/communicates with them, and if they support popular policies.

AI needs massive data including books, articles, media, etc that we create to operate. Knowing that, and knowing it’s going to eliminate jobs, shouldn’t we all be getting paid for the work we did to make AI a reality?

Any time anyone asks me what my favorite movie is I immediately say Lilo & Stitch. The more I hear about this live action movie the angrier I get. What do you mean they took out the pivotal ohana scene, Nani gives up Lilo, there’s Medicaid misinformation (??), and more?

Listen, I’ve tried really hard to not turn my page into a Zohran fan page but at this point I’ve clearly failed so: when Zohran says something is very exciting and makes that face you know he’s about to do something incredible. Now is the time to dig in, not stay on the sidelines

There are so many comments and quote posts asking for help. I’ll never delete those but can’t verify them so can’t amplify them. Grateful for those doing the work and this great thread so I can do here 👇🏻

Which one of you honked at me while I was slow running? đź‘€

Real talk, I cannot keep up with everything coming out way alone and the only way for me to have even just one staff member is to fundraise for them. If you can, chip in đź’™

This world does all that it can to harden our hearts and push us to reciprocate the cruelty unleashed on so many of us. I refuse to concede my humanity.

Horrified at the news that two Israeli embassy staff members were murdered in DC. This crime only further perpetuates a hateful cycle of violence and does nothing to aid Palestinians. Praying for the victims’ families and everyone shaken by this attack.

“Sections of this jail are simply uninhabitable,” said Griggs. “Cracked walls, broken plumbing, poor lighting, and unsanitary conditions create an environment no human should be subjected to. This is a civil and human rights crisis.”

Apparently people are upset that the headline was wrong and that 14,000 babies aren’t dying tomorrow but actually some undetermined time in the future. Idk, if that’s all you’ve got, maybe you should look at yourself in the mirror and ask how you lost your humanity. 1/

Instead of wasting untold amounts of money on trying to poll test an influencer into existence, pay people year round and give them healthcare so they can support their communities. When we show up asking for their vote it won’t be the first time they hear from us. 1/

Noor Abdalla was eight months pregnant when her husband, Mahmoud Khalil, was arrested, in March. She hasn’t seen him since, and now has a one-month-old son. nyer.cm/b7u1tIk

This is in the West Bank btw. If occupation forces are shooting at diplomats imagine what they’re doing to Palestinians. (hint you don’t need to there’s plenty of videos of people being shot, homes destroyed, and settlers setting olive trees on fire)

My daughter was born Thursday under difficult circumstances. Keeping her weight up has been a round the clock job, but just watching her is also incredible. Yet, I can’t stop thinking about the mothers and babies of Gaza, and the abominable circumstances Israel and the US have created for them.

Babies can only have milk. They can’t even have water. Since Israel is banning all aid including baby formula, these babies will die. And since Israel is also starving everyone in Gaza, moms can’t nurse their babies either. They’re just watching their babies die as they die to.

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

PSA for those in Georgia!

This world does all that it can to harden our hearts and push us to reciprocate the cruelty unleashed on so many of us. I refuse to concede my humanity.

I believe government should provide the highest quality of service to our constituents and ensure the basic needs of people are met not serve as some kind of middle management entity to extract wealth from all of us to corporations

The craziest part of this post? Not the weird misogyny. Not the fixation on Taylor Swift. It’s that Republicans are voting to strip healthcare from over 8 million people, including over 2million New Yorkers(!) to pay for billionaire tax cuts.

Armed Israelis are attacking villages and towns in the West Bank right as the killing intensifies in Gaza. It does not seem a coincidence this is happening around the commemoration of 77 years since the Nakba.

the thing is all of this is changeable and we can change it we just have to show video part 1
