“Gaza feels like the only real place left on earth”

[Ayesha A. Siddiqi @AyeshaASiddiqi]

Those “if ice agents show up” guides that recommend little beyond “stay calm you have rights”...I wonder how useful these types of guides are in the face of violent forces. Telling someone whose rights aren’t recognized that they “have rights” feels increasingly macabre.

Zohran inspired record turnout in the same city where Kamala lost Dems *over half a million votes* just 7 month ago.

The claim that our country is moving further right is a lie. People just want better candidates!

Whatever your personal beliefs on Assisted Dying, we should all be able to agree on 2 fundamentals:

No means no. If a patient doesn’t want it, end of discussion.

It should never be offered in lieu of care or social supports.

If it is, it’s not compassion.

It’s eugenics 🧵

[Dr. Allison Wiltz @queenie4rmnola]

Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. Never limit your sense of morality to America's legal system.

[Francesca Fiorentini @franifio]

Let's be clear: there are no riots, there are no clashes. There are unarmed community members defending their friends and family against masked militas who are targeting immigrants at work, in their homes, and while they are AT THEIR IMMIGRATION APPOINTMENTS.

"Those of us protesting do not want people to be in needless pain, instead we want resources other than death to alleviate suffering while people are still alive."

THIS.

"I was wrong to support Israel", declares a Conservative MP.

The winds are shifting.

Sooner or later, everyone will realise that Israel's genocide is one of the great crimes of our age.

[Brian Tashman @briantashman]

Tlaib was censured by the house for criticizing Israel’s bombings while another congressman tweets “Starve Away” and no one cares

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

The government of Israel is starving Gaza to death. It’s a war crime to use starvation as a weapon. The only way to end this genocide is with an arms embargo.

Time for my colleagues to end their silence.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

If a legal permanent resident can be deported without breaking any laws, because the government doesn’t like his policy opinion, it’s not a free country. It’s that simple.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Being a large corporation is great because when you steal money from people instead of prison or even a punitive fine you just say “oops sorry jk” and payback what you stole and everyone moves on. This option, weirdly, is not available for people who shoplift razors from CVS.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."

Death sentences are determined not by the severity of the crime, but by where the crime occurs, the race of the victim, the race of the defendant, the public/political interest in the case, the judge. And it is not a deterrent.

The United States must abolish the death penalty.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month

Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health

Wow, what if we had accessible buildings with free wifi, air conditioning, bathrooms, and water fountains that were already open on Sundays and that the mayor hadn’t closed??

[derecka @dereckapurnell]

we need an energetic movement full of people who can say that they used to be wrong, confused, or ignorant about lots of things. we need that level of humility in our organizing. this is what political education is about
