Representation Matters.

Cis is not a slur, cis.

Pose, Rutherford Falls, and Reservation Dogs are perfect shows.

As you prepare to see Killers of the Flower Moon and praise Scorsese, remember:

The it a true story.
The Osage are still here.
Family members are still here.

You have an opportunity to do better coverage of Native representation than has been done in the past. Please do.

12 years ago, Rafeef recited her poem, "We Teach Life, Sir."

This recording is 4:38 long. Please, if you do nothing else today, watch this. Listen to how true it still is today. You will notice the parts that change.

I support Palestine.

I do not support Shaun King.

My work speaks for my integrity and devotion to this cause, if you’re confused and hurt by what you’re seeing as a lack of support for the loss of a large Pro-Palestinian Account I encourage you to view this #BlockShaunKing

Biden’s “stance on Israel”—

being a genocidal, extreme Christian zionist in bed with the Netanyahu regime

—COMPLETELY undercuts the argument that Biden is a defender of democratic principles.

Defender of democracy where? Simply b/c he isn’t Trump? Do folks hear themselves?

My latest for EI with @AliAbunimah: Brigadier General Barak Hiram ordered a tank to shoot at civilians, killing Adi Dagan and Tal Katz and incinerating Liel and Ayala Hatsroni and Suhayb al-Razim – and Israeli journalist Ilana Dayan helped him cover it up https://t.co/EsPTewmysa

Hamas hostage testimonies:

‘They gave me a beautiful Arabic name’

‘The said “Bravo” when I exercised’

‘The resistance fighters taught the children games’

Israeli hostage testimonies:

‘They beat, tortured, starved and sexually assaulted us’

Israel kills children and babies daily and the world barely blinks. We are sick. This has disfigured us all.

@POTUS You keep genocide ongoing in Palestine. In Gaza and the occupied West Bank, Genocide Joe.

May you never know peace again until Palestine is free.

[Hamza Yusuf @Hamza_a96]

It’s been one of the most brutal and bloodiest nights in Gaza. Israel is clearly banking on the world looking away as Christmas comes. Not going to happen.

@jenwhitedop I'm there with you.

"Did your protestations do any good?

No. I lost my breath,
I lost my words,
I lost my heart.

But had I not argued, I would have lost my soul."

Lubna Elyan, 14 years old, was a musician and violinist at The Edward Said National Conservatory of Music - Gaza Branch. She was martyred after the bombing of her aunt's house,
the house they sought refuge in, in the city of Al-Nuseirat, south of #Gaza City

Not Numbers !

@jenwhitedop I've been ignoring this account for a long time. I'm only really back because my primary, personal account is in twitter jail for speaking up.

I am so heartened to see someone in Film Twitter speaking out and uplifting Palestinian voices. Thank you for that.

A 🧵: This is what Manger Square looks like in Bethlehem in the West Bank this year. In place of the city's usual Christmas tree & traditional Nativity display, the city's Christians have canceled Christmas in mourning & solidarity with Gaza. Explanation from the artist below 👇
