This is the ravages of war. This tangle of ruin was once community and home and life to Gazans. Over 25,000 Gazans are also dead because of this war. Cease fire. Now. #WarIsHell #CeaseFire

[Munther Isaac منذر اسحق @MuntherIsaac]

Sadly, Gaza as we know no longer exists. This is an annihilation.

@MuntherIsaac Thank you for your own theological scholarship & prophetic ministry. People like Speaker Johnson & Evangelicals have a simplistic theology & inaccurate Biblical understanding. When that’s paired with political power, it means injustice & death for others.

Christmas greetings from Bethlehem!

"We need to de-romanticize Christmas...In reality, it's a story of a baby who was born in the most difficult circumstances under occupation, who survived the massacre of children himself when he was born. So the connection was natural to us."

@MuntherIsaac Thank you for sharing this, Rev. Isaac. The image of your church’s nativity scene has been circulating widely on social media, but listening to you explain its significance is important. I will share this clip.

@AliVelshi Yep. Couldn’t agree more. Hebron is a place that puts all the injustices of the occupation on full display. Apartheid it is.

More than 100 Palestinians have been killed, more than 2,000 injured and nearly 1,000 forcibly displaced by Israeli settlers since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israel, the United Nations said. https://t.co/gqrYEznujE

@davidaxelrod Love her! Always loved her.

@POTUS @VP Excellent move! We need purposeful strategy and 24/7 attention on this national epidemic of gun violence.

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@MikeSington No words. 😡

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@angela_ford @MichaelSteele Just as his favorite President, DT, will go down as the most embarrassing, incompetent, & dangerous President ever.

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@GovTimWalz That’s awesome! Thanks for the joy!

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@BeschlossDC As much as I detest DT, the fat shaming and fat jokes are unnecessary. So much more substantive & profound things to concentrate on about this. Do better. #TrumpArrest

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@NicolleDWallace @maddow and crew: your fat-shaming of Trump tonight while you laughed mercilessly was beneath you & cheapened your otherwise good reporting of his arrest. Concentrate on what’s important & substantive. Do better. #TrumpArrest

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@BeschlossDC She looks happy to have had her mugshot taken!🤔

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@DeadlineWH @NicolleDWallace This was a powerful conversation, uninterrupted by commercial breaks. I’m grateful for the judge’s courage amid grief, & for Nicole’s willingness to show vulnerability & compassion in her work. That’s rare & much needed. Thank you, @NicolleDWallace

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@igornovikov I’m so sorry that you and your family are experiencing this grief in addition to all the griefs of war.

[Sharon Prestemon @SPrestemon]

@AWeissmann_ Gratitude to you.

@NeriaKraus @united Why wasn’t HE asked to change his seat instead??
