Thank you @BreitbartNews for highlighting that Black history is American history. Erasing it doesn't change the past—it only limits our understanding of it. Every attempt to censor, sanitize, or diminish the experiences of Black Americans is an attempt to rewrite the nation's story. Truth is not divisive. Slavery, segregation, discrimination, and the fight for civil rights are historical facts—not political opinions. Protecting history means telling the whole story, even when it is uncomfortable.
Baby Sarah deserves freedom and security, and all that Israel has deprived Palestine of for years. May we redouble our efforts, for you, for Baby Sarah
Since I just became a dad two months ago, this's the first war on #Gaza for baby Sarah. I have always felt inside that bringing a child into this hell is a mistake, no child deserves to live like this.
Now at the Capitol, @RashidaTlaib and others demanding a US investigation into the death of Shireen Abu Akleh. “I knew 20 yrs ago when there was no justice for Rachel Corrie that the Israeli govt would have impunity.”
The Israeli settlers escorted by Israeli army occupied anew house in the city of Hebron.
My family owns a house in the same area, but the Israeli army prevents us from using it. It is #apartheid
Today I welcomed the family of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh to offer my condolences, hear about Shireen’s life & work, and join them in urging @SecBlinken to launch a thorough U.S. investigation to ensure accountability for her death. #JusticeforShireen
thank you @BettyMcCollum04 - joining with your office calling for a thorough and independent US Investigation into murder and seeking #JusticeforShireen@SecBlinken@HadyAmr it's time to deliver, show that US stands for human rights

We were outside the UAV Engines death factory to get #ElbitOutOfShenstone but this time also in solidarity with @pal_action who bravely put their freedom on the line to defend the human rights of those suffering at the hands of the weapons created in this village
I'm attending a @DivestChicago webinar on Wed, July 27 at 6:30pm Central on how we can divest the city of Chicago from weapons & war. RSVP here: https://t.co/Ip2WBB0JJ2 @uspcn@UMCNIC@ChicagoBUMC
@UMCNIC@gcorrumc@ChicagoBUMC Encouraging our US reps to support HR2590 - Palestinian Children and Families Act could help protect families/communities like Masafer Yatta. Time to say enough; no more home demolitions, no more families uprooted
CNN is at it again, saying there were “clashes” between Israeli military forces and Shireen Abu Akleh’s funeral procession.
Since when is beating pallbearers with baton sticks “clashes”?
I trust an independent investigator: Israel seldom if ever investigates fairly and honestly crimes committed by its military OR its Jewish citizens. What's US afraid of? @SecBlinken@HadyAmr @SenDurbin
Reminder: Condemning the Israeli military’s murder of a renowned Palestinian journalist as she was covering a military raid on a Palestinian refugee camp is not, in any way, antisemitic. 🧵
When will our government pay attention to brutality of assaults on Gaza, or even mention, Gaza has been under Israeli blockade for over decade? @RepSchakowsky@SenatorDurbin@ILSenDems@SenDuckworth it's not two "equal" sides, there's oppressor, Israel, and oppressed, Palestine
