@Helyeh_Doutaghi A powerful rejoinder. Embarrassing to read the ill considered and ignorant comments of the so called US left, whose ignorance and fantasies about Iran echo CIA talking points. Well done Helyeh Doutaghi!

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@Helyeh_Doutaghi Helyeh: Thank you for this heartbreaking account. So important to document the cruelty and violence of the US government and the humanity of the Iranians that have suffered it. In solidarity!

Why is she in handcuffs? Why are her pants down exposing her backside? Are these agents or rapists? ICE must be eliminated.

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@TaghridAlMawed Why not do both? Recognize Palestine and withdraw recognition from Israel at the same time!

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@s_m_marandi This is terrible.

@SecRubio @IntlCrimCourt Rubio does not deserve to occupy space on this planet. Albanese is an international hero for her courage and truth telling re the unspeakable crimes committed by Israel and its allies especially the US. History will judge accordingly.

@ShaykhSulaiman @AssangeNY Israel is now a rogue state. This is a kidnapping of a member of the European Parliament. Free Rima Hassan! Can no one reign in this Netanyahu regime? Shocking that no other state or grouping can stand up to this lawless and reckless behavior.

@AdameMedia Democracy only goes so far among fascists. Israel has entirely lost any legitimacy. Shocking but not surprising after the slaughter we are witnessing in Gaza. What force can end this tragedy?

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

Thank you Sen. Markey. Witness to the nihilism and legal vandalism of the Trump regime. Congress has to act! We are on a slippery slope to a lawless regime.

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@RepPressley Thank you Ayanna Presley. We need this kind of witness against the nihilistic lawlessness of the Trump regime.

Major thanks to Ali Velshi for featuring Michael S. Roth, President of Wesleyan, and Nicole Hannah Jones of the 1619 Project. We are witnessing the return of McCarthyism in this attack on universities. A dangerous moment.

@DropSiteNews @jeremyscahill @Helyeh_Doutaghi Thank you for this enlightening interview with Dr. Doutaghi. Yale is acting in as cowardly a manner as Columbia in bending to the intimidation of the Trump regime.

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@sfmcguire79 Trump both delusional and dangerous claiming such control over discipline and curriculum. This must be rolled back. Reaching into what is taught and studied? No way.

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Demand the Immediate Release of Palestinian Student Activist Mahmoud Khalil from DHS detention. Write one here: https://t.co/HHRAlhZOsW

@democracynow Belated but nonetheless welcome.

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@elonmusk Elon you need to take your chain saw and go home. You are worse than a criminal. You are a pox on the body politic. You are undoing the very sinews of a working government. Who the f—k put you in charge? Go play with your government subsidized toys!

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

Instructive and moving meeting last night (1/29) with Peter Beinart and Ayman Moyhedin on Beinart’s new book Being Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza. Standing room only and wonderful discussion. Invoking South Africa and Ireland as models but warning about tragic outcomes.

[Hester Eisenstein @heisenstein]

@ShaykhSulaiman What gives Israel the right to just send people abroad arbitrarily? Is this sanction ed by international law? Israel is the new Roman Empire.
