@repzoelofgren I urge you to co-sponsor the @UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act of 2024 that will end the congressionally mandated pause on funding for the life-saving work of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.
Kenneth Webb of Ann Arbor, #Michigan, was freed Thursday after 36 years of wrongful imprisonment. He was convicted of murder on the basis of a false confession, despite no evidence tying him to the crime and the fact he had an airtight alibi.

I will be issuing a written statement later today and also doing an Instagram live at some point late this afternoon, but beyond that I do not have the capacity to do any media. I really appreciate all the requests however ❤️
This is sickening. Violent racism, enabled by $3.8B in unconditional military U.S. funds. For the Israeli apartheid govt, Shireen's life didn't matter - and her dehumanization continues after death. @StateDept: condemn this horror or does being Palestinian make you less American?
Isn’t it interesting that white people constantly insist on the goodness of black people as a condition for reconciliation and engagement but never hold themselves to the same standard? White people are allowed to be awful to us, but we always have to be above it. Fuck allofdat.
Weird how US drone operators can see “terrorists” handling “explosives” (which turn out to be cans of water) from 50,000 ft but can’t see the civilians they’re about to kill “by accident”.
Why don't we give Palestinians the Iron Dome, too? Are we ok with their citizens being killed? Please tell me that they're all terrorists so we know who all of the bigots are. Shouldn't we protect civilians in Israel and Palestine? @aoc@IlhanMN@RashidaTlaib@RepJayapal
