Praying and praying before bed tonight that tomorrow will bring Palestine closer to justice and liberation.

Mom (who is white) also keeps acting flummoxed about how white turn out for all capitol protests she participates in are. We’re in Arizonaaaaaa. It’s not going to look like a protest crowd in New York or DC or something.

Mom told me at the protest she was most surprised by the very many REALLY old ppl among the 1000s. Walkers, wheelchairs, field trip from retirement homes to march. Folks who have seen at all & finally at this point felt like they really needed to join the protests against Trump.

She found it sad that this population had to come out, but I think it’s great. Bring everyone, babies & great grandparents. Solidarity & unity across all groups of Americans. Hopefully lots of old folks held huddles about why so many doubled down on Trump at the ballot box 😒

What it feels like to be under 40 right now is that older generations seem hellbent on forcing us back into a state of subservience to white people because that’s what feels most comfortable to them… 1/

My therapist’s waiting room is really cultivating an energy like no other by having Pitbull music videos playing on the lobby TV

I need to drive to Sedona this weekend for work...I am afraid of heights..therefore I will probably die driving through the mountains

Israel seized the border in Rafah and is letting nothing in or out. If American doctors have no water, imagine what the whole population is suffering. What will it take for Biden to get tough with Netanyahu & his far right genocidal regime?

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

“Celebrity” is absolutely a part of the oppressive capitalist structure, let’s be real.

Not saying where/how people should focus energy

But if “celebrity” isn’t part of structural oppression… why is it constantly employed by the ruling class to direct or distract the public?

The danger of being committed to political parties & to politicians more than to your own political principles is that you end up where Democrats are now—the mirror image of the thing they said they hated

When other countries do this its 'authoritarian.' But when the U.S. does this it's 'restoring order.'

No one asks how Palestinian students are supposed to "feel safe" at institutions who invest in and profit off of the murder of their relatives.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

The police will attack you if you protest for Palestine. They’ll attack you for doing mutual aid. They’ll attack you for going on strike. They’ll attack you for demanding affordable housing. They’ll attack you for demanding peace. A better world requires abolition.

Dems are just as fascistic as republicans. Never let them tell you otherwise.

It’s just that when republicans are in office, democrats will fundraise with the lie they are not.

UNC alumn, if you're outraged & angry like me right now, sign this statement in solidarity with the faculty, students, & staff protesting the university's complicity in genocide. UNC administrators brutalized them yesterday by calling in the police https://t.co/C2Br8FcR60

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Once again, police show their true function is to enforce race-class hierarchy & act at the behest of the billionaire owners

No one ever makes the case for abolishing police as effectively as the police do
