This is an emergency. Emerge.

[Dominique Jean-Louis @DominiqueJL15]

FWIW, this propaganda campaign against Haitian migrants is really, really painful. For a while, but especially this past year, things have been terrifying and heartbreaking for all of us, and to be baselessly, racially smeared for political points is just so cruel. And scary.

[Keith Boykin @keithboykin]

Nathan Clark — the father of 11-year-old Aiden Clark, who was killed in a car accident in Springfield, Ohio — tells JD Vance and Donald Trump to stop using his son’s name and the city of Springfield to demonize Haitian immigrants. “This needs to stop now!”

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

We organize with Haitian-origin farm workers in NY. They’re as American as the apple pie their work makes possible, but right wing racists are spreading dehumanizing lies.

Haitians are not eating pets.
They’re feeding America.

The anti-Haitian bigotry we’re seeing is repulsive.

[Aura Bogado @aurabogado]

It's easy to make fun of Trump and Vance's racist, anti-Haitian hatred. It's a lot harder to be critical of Biden's implementation of Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant policies, and Harris's focus on prosecution and deportation.

[Jalal 𓂆 @JalalAK_jojo]

Hundreds of #Harvard students walking out of commencement, chanting "let them walk" in solidarity with 13 students who weren't allowed to walk by the university.

Historic moments. Student solidarity will bring down Zionism. 🇵🇸✊️

[Anna Kook @annakook]

In the video, Bisan finds dozens of USA labeled shells among the rubble. I visually verified through research the labels on the casings do indeed indicate they contained U.S. manufactured toxic weapons the Israeli forces used to destroy the buildings.

"All colonized people see themselves in Palestine....and all colonizers see themselves in Israel."

Powerful stuff from @aamer_rahman

Such trauma 💔

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

In a compound for Palestinian evacuees in Doha, residents are not far from the war. Children try to reconnect with their childhood despite physical scars. Their mothers tell @JomanaCNN they barely eat or sleep while the rest of their families are sheltering in tents in Gaza.

“Two years ago, my son Ayman & I shared a love for flowers. We were preparing for a cactus and succulents nursery together. Today, a rose he planted bloomed for first time,40 days after he was killed by an Israeli airstrike”

[Tom Fletcher @UNReliefChief]

Civilians in #Gaza are being starved and killed, and we are prevented from helping them.

This is Gaza today, even after 7 months of horrors.

[Hind Khoudary @Hind_Gaza]

Sick and wounded Palestinians are dying by the hour as they remain trapped in Gaza without medical care due to Israel’s closure of Rafah crossing.

[Omar Shakir @OmarSShakir]

"Living in Gaza is like living in a blender—you never know when you'll get chopped," a Palestinian in Rafah recently told @hrw. Forcing 1 million+ displaced Palestinians in Rafah to again flee is unlawful & catastrophic. There is nowhere safe to go in Gaza

[Dr. Najat Abdul-Aziz @theafroaussie]

A reminder to be wary of the word "evacuation." The residents of Rafah are displaced, and are being displaced yet again in a process of ethnic cleansing. Evacuating implies going somewhere safe - nowhere is.

*silent scream*

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

THREAD. Last night, the White House quietly sent out a press release notifying reporters that Biden would be seeking $37 billion for, among other things, 100,000 new cops. This is one of the most dangerous developments imaginable.

[Annie Bryson @anniebryson28]

Pro-Palestinian protestors have begun demonstrating during the University of Michigan's commencement ceremony in Ann Arbor, MI.

[Elizabeth Kim @lizkimtweets]

There’s been a framing that all these protesters at Columbia were rich and entitled. But that’s why interviews of them are important ⁦@ColumbiaSpec⁩ ⁦@NYMag⁩

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

Hala Rharrit is the first American diplomat to publicly resign over U.S. policy in Gaza.

In an exclusive televised interview, she explains to Democracy Now! why she could no longer work "within the system" after her expertise was "silenced" and "sidelined."

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The No. 1 pro-Israel online talking point - ‘Hamas agrees to release the hostages & the war ends tomorrow!’ - destroyed by a single quote from an Israeli official:

"Israel will under no circumstances agree to end the war in a deal to release the hostages" https://t.co/DoBCzavi8N
