"I will say it over and over again, the cries of Israeli babies are no different to me than the cries of Palestinian babies." - @RashidaTlaib
When we say not another bomb and demand a ceasefire, we do it because these bombs do nothing but kill the most vulnerable.
As a Howard grad, I knew about our alum #KamalaHarris. I remember at one alumni club meeting talking about how her star was on the rise.
I also used to watch State of the Black Union every year on C-SPAN, and I became a fan forever when I saw this in 2006:
The flour massacre, the tents massacre, the hospital massacre, the refugee camp massacre, the ‘safe corridor’ massacre, the endless massacres, in homes, on the streets, in tents, on foot— eight months of massacre after massacre after massacre.
Doctors Without Borders condemns in the strongest possible terms the Jan. 8 strike on one of our shelters.
The strike led to the death of the five-year-old daughter of an MSF staff member. https://t.co/fjBu75OGzD
We now unequivocally know that if any one of us find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, a tyrannical government can massacre us and our children and not a single person in power in the whole world will move to stop them unless it is profitable for them
Hi, this is Eman. You might know me here as a gazan mom of three. I have lost a house, friends, family and students. I am now appealing to all the mothers in the world, Food is running out. We are sheltering in an UNRWA school. I have two sick children with no near hospitals or decent medical treatment in the area. Today, I have spent 3 hours looking for thick winter clothes for the children and I couldn’t find any. The things adults are facing and living are beyond catastrophic. Imagine what children go through. If there is any power in you, any thing you can do to talk or help in a permanent ceasefire, don’t stop! I am this close to losing my children to starvation, dehydration or sickness, If an Israeli sniper didn’t step first.
BREAKING: Hours before the annual White House Hanukkah party, 18 Jewish elders chain themselves to the White House gates demanding @POTUS stop funding and arming the genocide in Gaza.

The brutal collective punishment in #Gaza must end.
🔴 Indiscriminate attacks must stop now.
🔴 Forcible displacement must stop now.
🔴 Assaults on healthcare must stop now.
🔴 Restrictions on aid and the siege must stop now.
🔴 It all #MustStopNow!
The US veto stands in contrast to the values it professes to uphold. By continuing to provide diplomatic cover for the atrocities in #Gaza, the US is signaling that international humanitarian law can be applied selectively - that the lives of some people matter less than others.
The lesson from the Holocaust is not to center Jewish fear at all times, it is the moral mandate to intervene against injustice & persecution even when the dominating narrative & power structure deems an entire community not human enough to deserve life & dignity
There needs to be an urgent and unconditional ceasefire from all warring parties; humanitarian aid must be supplied to the entirety of the #Gaza Strip now.
🔴UPDATE:
Over the last few hours, the attacks against Al-Shifa Hospital have dramatically intensified. Our staff at the hospital have reported a catastrophic situation inside just few hours ago https://t.co/FSWagVTYF5.
