I have a poem up today at The Indianapolis Review: https://t.co/5Jrt9ftTUB

This iz what solidarity looks like

[NBC BLK @NBCBLK]

In 1939, a Chinese American family was unable to rent a house until a Black couple allowed them to rent and eventually buy their property.

Now, the family is donating $5 million to Black college students using proceeds from the sale of the house. https://t.co/O92EIdztAr

@TheDiaspora93 @theafroaussie Anti- Blackness will be the last hurdle to conquer because it's at the foundation of almost every major global issue.

We fear Israel first, before our families, always. We're 100 times more likely to die at the hands of an Israeli gun or bomb than by western propagandized ideas of honor killings.

I've seen White Christian Americans wish their child be dead rather than gay. (2/3)

[Subeaux @BabaSubeaux]

Israel is the one that weaponizes the homophobia that Queer people all over the world of all religions experience to justify murdering Palestinians of all kinds, young and old, Christian and Muslim, Queer and Straight. (3/3)

[Subeaux @BabaSubeaux]

What do any of you know of my Palestine? Of the late night queer parties in Ramallah? Of raves held in biblically aged buildings? Of lesbians in hijabs, of gay men in hoop earrings, of trans Palestinians dancing with joyful abandon?

What do they call it when mainstream media colludes with the government to bolster a war effort? Everywhere but that US that would be fascism.

Every man has a reason to write this poem and it's your job as a woman to sometimes be the reason

A tweet from last year, a quote from 2008. The time has always been now. End the Zionist occupation and genocide now and forever.

[Danez @Danez_Smif]

Talked to a wonderful 3 year old whose family sat down to eat lunch next to us, thinking + crying now thinking about how deep America’s hate and apathy of children runs both domestic and aboard. One thing America surely grows and exports is a world where children are disposable.

[sarah schulman @sarahschulman3]

1. Thinking about why so many esteemed cultural institutions in New York, sophisticated national publications, and so many American universities, are completely failing to respond to the moral crisis of this bloody slaughter of people in Gaza?

[Harmony Holiday @Harmony_Holiday]

I think the point of this sequence of events that lead to the current Rafah massacre was to flaunt obscene power and familiarize the concerned masses with involuntary resignation to evil

[Opulence @JoyKMT]

@alexispauline I'll be on the live-stream though <3
