Facts! I never understood racism. It’s just another distraction keeping us from moving forward. “Prejudice is an emotional commitment to ignorance” Jane Elliot.
Fresh2Death was sick tonight. We bought the art @MissEdwardsCLT is holding and got to kick it with @ShutUpSamir for a bit. I call that a win. @F4milyMatters@duppANDswat
We signed up for @DollyParton Imagination Library (free monthly books from birth to 5 yrs old) I explained who she is to my 4yr old gd, now she loves listening to @DollyParton songs after we read her Rainbow book. Her generosity is touching future generations. 🥰
“We’re reminded that even in death, Palestinians can’t be Palestinian,” @AymanM says about the funeral of his friend and former colleague Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. Israeli police ripped off Palestinian flags from the hearse carrying her coffin.
This is sickening. Violent racism, enabled by $3.8B in unconditional military U.S. funds. For the Israeli apartheid govt, Shireen's life didn't matter - and her dehumanization continues after death. @StateDept: condemn this horror or does being Palestinian make you less American?
The Israeli military killing of Shireen Abu Akleh is devastating and infuriating. I condemn this unacceptable attack on her, on Palestinians and the freedom and safety of journalists everywhere.
There must be accountability, and we must demand an end to Israeli apartheid.
The attack by Israeli forces against mourners at the funeral of Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh is an outrage. The United States must condemn this, and demand an independent investigation into her killing.
1/2 I documented many protests and funerals as a photographer, but the brutal attack of the Israeli police against the family & colleagues carrying the coffin of #ShireenAbuAkleh was one of the hardest moments I witnessed and documented
