If anyone tells you that a two-state solution is the only way to achieve peace, ask them to explain this.

NEW — The National Treasury Employees Union Chapter 282 just emailed its ~8,000 employee members strongly advising them NOT to reply to the “What did you do last week?” email from OPM/Musk.

Those in power from both parties who couldn’t find the courage to stand up to Netanyahu will not find the courage to stand up to President Trump and the oligarchs.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Happy International Mother Language Day! 21 February is commemorated around the world to honor the right to speak one’s native language because Bangladeshis fought for the right to speak in Bengali in 1952. Ekushey February honors those sacrifices. Details here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

Banning TikTok is a plot by Democrats and Republicans to end your freedom of speech in service to Israel It has Jack shit to do with China

Im sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Amerah. Prior to the war Amerah was in her fourth year of studying law. She has lost her university and her home and is living in tents with her three children, including Ayool who suffered an injury that may cause her to lose her hearing.

One piece of advice: if you do sensitive research, get to know the people in your communication office. Educate them on what you are facing, and be specific on how they can help; they have the ears of your administration. Let others know what you are dealing with. Don't expect miracles.

Normal country.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

The false slander of antisemitism has been broadly and often very effectively leveraged to punish and silence Palestinian activism. I’ve often been at the receiving end of it. But this doesn’t lessen even 1% the truth of anti-Jewish bigotry, nor our responsibility to be vigilant for it: thread

The documentary Boycott goes into great detail about this. youtu.be/FAMAFyR7L9U?...

If they will do this to Americans, what won’t they do to Palestinians. When we say fascist US foreign policy will always come home to roost, this is a very visible - albeit small - example of that. This is from 2017. They’re even more motivated now.

Children. Children.

“As we saw during the first Trump term, there is a lot of controversy over some of his executive orders, but the ones connected to Israel/Palestine are not getting a lot of pushback from Democratic lawmakers.” Shocked, I tell you.

My work here is done.

May I suggest throwing something similarly egregious, made from chick peas and cacao beans.

Considering the price of eggs, you may want to reevaluate this strategy.

Never in the history of bumper stickers has a bumper sticker played such a critical role in a car owner’s public communication portfolio.

Grandfathered purchases pre-2023, while still something to sniff haughtily at, are not subject to the rotten egg taunt.

I don’t know who buys Teslas, politically speaking, but if anyone buys one of his cars while lamenting his fascism, they deserve the rotten eggs that may eventually decorate their poorly constructed vehicle.

Love, love, love the #TeslaTakeDown pickets. These are low-barrier to entry direct actions. I hope people are passing out info to passerbys and also sharing info with each other so they can stay connected!

Every showroom. Every single one.
