Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

It is a good thing that Americans are waking up to the evils of ICE, but I can't help but notice some of you only started taking it seriously when it was white women getting locked up. :/

No I will not debate you on Palestine. It's a genocide. The UN, the Special Rapporteur, OxFam, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, multiple US state department officials, the Lemkin Institute, and B'Tselem all say it's a genocide. I don't debate flat earthers either.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Look it sucks that Canadian and German people are being detained by CBP. But I find it really hard to see people falling over themselves to denounce it when they didn’t say shit about months of people who weren’t white & rich being detained outdoors without food, water, or shelter

First they came for the Palestinian protestor and I said “hey you Nazi fucks, you’re being Nazis, everyone else we need to shut these motherfuckers down RIGHT now” because I actually paid attention to the poem

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

This man has always been trash even when he was mayor of SF... and to throw trans people under the bus in a fucking podcast shows how utterly paper thin his morals are.

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Heartbreaking story. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, age 11, took her own life after her bullies constantly threatened to call ICE to have her Hispanic parents deported. Her story is one of the many real human consequences of Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. youtu.be/vwMGdnM24Cw?...
