After several naps over the last two days I think I’ve paid off some of my sleep debt. That being said I want to take some time to shout out folks who supported the Essential Stories report (linked here- https://t.co/ymFYqPlCib)

Solidarity. Rashida Tlaib could have chosen to sit this out, like some of her like-minded, conscientious Dem colleagues. But she chose to attend, on her birthday even, to protest a war criminal, as the rest of our Congress applauds the slaughter of her people.

symbolically South Africa is doing something incredible for Palestine and for the world...but international law/human rights/legality as a framework brought us here.... can't fix what is working as is intended to...

[Déjà @deja_maxine]

If you don’t stand with Palestine and I see you do a superficial land acknowledgment at our next meeting best be prepared for me to call you out on it.

Wadea Al-Fayoume, 6, was stabbed to death Saturday in an anti-Palestinian hate crime outside Chicago.

His short, white casket sat in front of the room as mourners filled Mosque Foundation for his funeral today. His father prayed just feet away.

As a Jewish person I think the words we use to describe the situation unfolding in Gaza is important

I personally use words like genocide & concentration camp because it’s both factually accurate & Jewish people don’t have a monopoly on the words we use to describe atrocities

[Déjà @deja_maxine]

Keeping track of all the LA electeds who claim to be progressive but rushed out a statement in support of genocide of Palestinians 👀👀

Huge slay! If you’re not working with BWCs or atleast worker centers on your workforce pipelines and pre-apprenticeships give this a read and reconsider!

this investment should work to prevent displacement, repair historical harm, maximize future community and economic benefits to corridor residents, and build the capacity of marginalized communities to have more agency in public works projects that government agencies pursue.

[Lee Guekguezian @GuekguezianLee]

Co-wrote this report with some great people who have been organizing around Blue Line displacement for decades. Gov agencies have the opportunity to apply a reparative framework to light rail planning to support communities that have historically been left out of MN's prosperity.

What would our world look like if it was built around care and support and not violence and oppression? *sigh*
