Word for word what people said about gay people

[NYS Senator Julia Salazar @SalazarSenate]

In an attempt to get around Dignity Not Detention, ICE is converting local warehouses into detention centers -- but they often rely on state and local resources to do it.

We're calling on the Governor to ban this sly practice. Proud to have led this effort with @sarahana

[Reggie B. @reggiebblue]

Alex Pretti's family on how they found out about his death.

"It was all over the news. We watched it. I was like that's our son. That's Alex and they killed him. No one called us. Watching our son shot 10 times trying to help someone. And being beaten, sprayed with tear gas.

My shock is that he was murdered and no one has given us the complete truth or anyone has been held accountable and it's been seven months. There was more effort in vilifying him than pursuing justice."

[DSA for AOC 🌹 @dsa4aoc]

We are DSA members organizing to seize the moment, unite Labor and the Left, and elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to the Presidency.

[brent is a sewer socialist🚰🌹 @brent858]

Hasan Piker on the left, Ezra Klein on the right.

Anyone operating in good faith would read both as pretty uncontroversial statements about the role Israel’s defenders have played in rising antisemitism.

Only one of these is being called an incitement to violence.

@imaginarylilguy doubly annoying for me because 90% of my team is remote, but i just happen to be in range of an office.

[Haydn, 🇵🇸 @bilbosfootcomb]

Girl if you don’t get your ass to the CONVENT.

you’re supposed to be having ecstatic visions of the Final Unity of All Things and levitating in front of the Eucharist not doing homework for a used car salesman

[Benjamin @benjamin_s87]

@imaginarylilguy we're going from two days to three days in October and it might be the end for me...

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

For nearly 3 months, Sama Safi, a 20-year-old US citizen, has suffered in an Israeli military prison. She has a chronic health condition, and doctors warn she may experience irreversible organ damage.

My colleagues and I are demanding that Secretary Rubio secure her release immediately.

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Calling on all Dems to take the Don’t Talk About Hasan Piker For A Day Challenge.

Can we do it??? Lots of other topics to focus on with 69 days left until the midterms.

Maybe if we’re successful, we can try for a full week!

[Matthew Sitman @MatthewSitman]

Is she proposing more parents of 11 year olds die? That would be the straightforward reading of this statement, or rather, assemblage of words

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

Dolly Parton avoided discussing her partisan views, but she was absolutely not apolitical. She modeled a radically Christian, a genuinely Christ-like, life of kindness and charity, solidarity and community. An enormously powerful political statement. A path to follow.

[Zaid Jilani @ZaidJilani]

The United States has a whites-only refugee policy right now. We have the most racist government in 100 years in power.

Let’s focus on the actual substance not Twitch streamers or Tweets.

[Phara Souffrant Forrest @phara4assembly]

New York just told ICE: not in our jails!
Dignity Not Detention is now law. Prisons can no longer profit off of human detention.

[A New Policy @anewpolicyorg]

If Democrats retake the House, many Americans will expect them to hold Hearings on U.S. policy on Israel & Israel's actions in Gaza & across the region. Selecting one of Israel's biggest cheerleaders to run the relevant Committee is a deliberate move to shut down that avenue.

[onion person @CantEverDie]

naming this guy as a ranking member in this committee right now is the democratic establishment reaffirming their commitment to supporting israel and the genocide they’re committing

[Matt Duss @mattduss]

Oh come on. At what point can Democratic voters finally have foreign policy committee leadership that actually represents the party’s anti-war majority instead of its small and thankfully dwindling hawkish minority?

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

Solidarity. Starbucks workers deserve a fair contract, and I will not cross the picket line.

[Prem Thakker @prem_thakker]

New: Rashida Tlaib leads 40 members of Congress, including 6 senators, in demanding Marco Rubio free 20-year-old American Sama Safi from Israeli detention.

Doctors warn that Israel's detention is putting Sama at risk of "progressive tissue injury & irreversible organ damage."

[Matthew Sitman @MatthewSitman]

Platonic Trump 2.0 story, just total failure across the board: arresting, for some reason, a father with a SSN, driver's license, and work permit, whose son has been deployed for over 9 months on a ship filled with mold and contaminated water as part of a failed war w/ Iran
