Just a reminder that Stephon Clark was shot 20 times by police for holding a “scary” mobile phone in his Grandma’s backyard, but the #MAGA crowd is actively assaulting #capitol police with no consequences.
“She had limited value”-Officer Auderer’s statement is sickening but to people of color it comes as no surprise. Are we devastated? Yes. Are we angry? Yes. Are we shocked? No. How often have South Asian women been told we have limited value?#JusticeForjaahnavi#JaahnaviKandula
Americans should be furious with the governments of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump, which told us, for 20 straight years, that we were winning in Afghanistan, that the billions we were pouring into the Afghan government & military were worth it.
It was all a lie.
"As Jewish supporters of the State of Israel, we fundamentally reject the notion that it is anti-Semitic to question the policies of the State of Israel.” Read our cofounders’ op-ed in @NYTopinion on our operations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory: https://t.co/TbijBRtApq
“It’s almost impossible to find workers,” say at-will employers refusing to offer living wages, sick/hazard pay, parental leave, or reliable schedules while rents, childcare costs, & student debt reach record highs.
“We tried offering free coupons. What else can we possibly do?”
The reason the American debate over Israel-Palestine could shift dramatically and quickly is that many Democratic politicians don't need to be convinced that what Israel is doing is wrong. They just need to be convinced that they can say so without hurting their careers
‘This is our business because we are playing a role in it’ — AOC expertly tied U.S. policy to the Palestinian crisis, saying that the U.S. has a ‘responsibility’ to stand up to injustices
@AOC People need to realize that you can stand with the Jewish community against antisemitism and also stand with the Palestinian people against the Israeli government. It’s not mutually exclusive.
So are the extensively researched, painstaking conclusions from the UN, Human Rights Watch, and B’Tselem (among the largest human rights orgs in the world and in Israel) considered “outbursts” too?
Or is that just a descriptor MSN reserves for the women legislators quoting them?
What this child and other Palestinians lare subjected to isn’t fair.
The cruelty of US policy that refuses to see her as worthy of saving is not fair.
The silencing and demonizing of those that do isn’t fair.
Call your Representatives, play this for them over and over again.
You can take action.
Email US Secretary of State Blinken now. Call on US to urge #Israel to address root causes & stop cycle of impunity. End violence in Occupied Palestinian Territories. https://t.co/uiSqzPFD17
The devastation in Gaza is unconscionable. We must urge an immediate ceasefire. The killing of Palestinians and Israelis must end. We must also take a hard look at nearly $4 billion a year in military aid to Israel. It is illegal for U.S. aid to support human rights violations.
This is happening with the support of the United States.
I don’t care how any spokesperson tries to spin this. The US vetoed the UN call for ceasefire.
If the Biden admin can’t stand up to an ally, who can it stand up to?
How can they credibly claim to stand for human rights?
We hold the largest social movement in global history. Today, we have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. People are waking up to our global call: for racial justice and an end to economic injustice, environmental racism, and white supremacy. We're only getting started ✊🏾
