1 of many lawyers challenging the barriers that migrants, refugees and stateless people face in accessing protection, justice and the enjoyment of their rights.
US taxpayers want no part in funding the Israeli war machine that is committing genocidal war crimes in Gaza. We need stronger, clearer headed representation like this within our highest levels of government. Thank you, Sister @RepRashida for providing conscience and sanity during these times of legislative absurdity. #ceasefire

And please share this. Regardless what anyone thinks, nobody will exterminate anybody. When this is all over, be it in 20, 50, or 100 years, there will be Jews and Palestinians - our children - living in the Holy Land. May it be in peace, love & equality. https://t.co/A6GrpKhlf0
I also want to say that even in the deepest darkness of my anguish and my triggers I did not desire revenge. Not even a little bit. I didn't want anyone hurt to quench my pain. All I want in the moment was for our lives to be protected and our humanity to be acknowledged.
For 10 days we've been hearing openly genocidal statements fully supported and sometimes even endorsed by Western leaders, leaders who are supposed to stand up for "democracy", "human rights", etc. But not only for 10 days. This has been our entire lives. This has been 75 years.
Western leaders & the mainstream media have relied on racist, Islamophobic tropes to build a false consensus "that war is inevitable & that whatever consequences come out is the fault of Hamas, thereby further blaming the victims for their own killing & massacres,” says @4noura.

Mainstream media editors are apparently sharing a verbal policy to not give airtime to Palestinians who are vocal on contextualizing the reality which essentially will contradict the adopted Israeli myth of self defense.
This should be investigated by human rights organizations.

On January 6, it is essential to confront the illegal, white supremacist attack on @JoeBiden 's election. But equally essential to confront @POTUS continuation of Trump's illegal, #WhiteSupremacist#Title42 deportation policy. https://t.co/qNg3y0bOxs
Recommended! Key takeaway: "What happened in Del Rio was not an isolated incident involving deviant USBP agents,...[but] a small manifestation of a much larger systemic problem that is at the very heart of anti-blackness in the Western hemisphere." https://t.co/U2BP4kHth8
