Ideals: Stay curious. Listen most intently to those who have been systemically silenced. Dismantle White Supremacy. Decolonize STEM & Everything else.

Stunned. Heartbroken. Despondent. Physically ill. Gut-sick with sorrow and terror. #ElectionNight

How many more accounts will never post again after this? How many more??? This website has become a gravesite of Palestinians who used their final words begging for the world to care.

LIVE AT GRAND CENTRAL: RABBIS GETTING ARRESTED DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE AND AN END TO THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA. cc @jvplive @jvpliveNY @JvpAction

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

I’ve never heard anything coming out of a minaret speaker but the call to prayer. In Gaza, they are seeing an SOS to a silent world.

[The Nation @thenation]

Despite the loud calls for vengeance within Israel, many survivors of Hamas’s Oct. 7 massacres, as well as relatives of those killed or kidnapped, are speaking out against the war on Gaza. It’s time to listen to them, writes @NoyOrly. https://t.co/JB5Tu2Wqp3

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

Israel has cut off all internet and cellular communication in Gaza.

They don’t want the world to see what they are doing.

We must not look away from this violence, especially during a blackout.

We need a #CeasefireNow.

[Clare Daly @ClareDalyIRL]

Unimaginable, apocalyptic horror being inflicted on the innocent in the darkness of Gaza.

History will judge those who stand by.

Ceasefire NOW.

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

American Jews and allies led by @jvplive have SHUT DOWN Grand Central Station to let our political leaders that we refuse to allow business as usual while the Israeli military bombards Gaza.

CEASEFIRE NOW.

Join us on the right side of history: https://t.co/xTCIj93Ei5

⚠️ HAPPENING NOW AT NYC'S GRAND CENTRAL STATION: THOUSANDS OF JEWS AND ALLIES HOLD AN EMERGENCY SIT-IN, DEMANDING A CEASEFIRE IN GAZA. WE'RE TAKING OVER THE GRAND CONCOURSE. WE'RE REFUSING TO ALLOW A GENOCIDE BE CARRIED OUT IN OUR NAMES. CEASEFIRE NOW! NEVER AGAIN FOR ANYONE! ⚠️

That's it for today.

Whew.

Haaland v. Brackeen was a huge (and unexpected) win for tribes.

“But the bottom line is that we reject all of petitioners’ challenges to the statute, some on the merits and others for lack of standing.”

#ICWA stands.

@Indivisible_MVY Is there a more direct contact specifically for Spanish speakers on MV who would like to help with interpreting? I know someone with the required skills who wants to help. Is there a designated point person for this?

Tomorrow would be a good day to expand the Supreme Court

While democrats lick their down ballot wounds and point fingers every direct except inwards, let me make one thing clear: I will not abide white democrats blaming Black organizers and activists who are fighting to end police violence for your losses.

In Florida, neither Trump nor Biden got as many votes as raising the minimum wage to $15.

[Janai Nelson @JNelsonLDF]

This day will go down in infamy. It must also be the moment we look back upon to give us the strength to demand bold, transformative action that is not vengeful, but visionary. Action that restores justice to the people the likes of which we’ve never had. #SCOTUS

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

Speaking as a statistician, "science is truth" is a dangerous statement. Science is a very reliable but imperfect knowledge-generating process. It's a gradually improving framework for predicting the outcome of actions taken in the physical world. Not the same as truth at all.
