@lhadon @danbharris The Dalai Lama has spent his entire life in the public eye, sowing seeds of compassion and understanding…now folks want to cancel him without any compassion or understanding. I am listening to Tibetans on this one while learning the cultural context and background behind it.

insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.

It has been one since Tsewang Norbu, a popular Tibetan artist, set his body on fire outside one of the most sacred and iconic structures in Tibet, the Potala Palace, to protest China’s brutal occupation of the Tibetan people since 1959.

The Chinese government has charged these six Tibetans inside Tibet with “inciting separatism” and “endangering national security.” Another devastating example of the CCP conflating peaceful dissents and expression with threats to “national security.”

Thank you Madam Speaker, for everything you’ve done for the Tibetan people 🙏🏽 @SpeakerPelosi

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Speaker Pelosi has passed some of the most transformative, consequential legislation in decades.

Can we get 1,000 fast RTs and replies using the hashtag #ThankYouMadamSpeaker to get it trending all day on Twitter and to piss off Kevin McCarthy?

Please and thank you.🙏💪

The Battle of Bamber Bridge, 1943.

Racist US military police attacked black US troops on British soil.

US military authorities demanded the town’s pubs impose a colour bar, the local landlords responded with signs that read “Black Troops Only” which pissed them off.

A vote for a Republican in any House race on Nov 8 is a vote for Marjorie Taylor Greene on the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees and for Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

It’s also a vote to make abortion illegal nationwide even in cases of rape or incest.

Wow. And three days before Party Congress in Beijing kicks off. A sight which would have merited *maybe* a second glance in New York or Berlin but in China is big news because of how tightly political expression is controlled.

[Sarah Silverman @SarahKSilverman]

Kanye threatened the Jews yesterday on twitter and it’s not even trending. Why do mostly only Jews speak up against Jewish hate? The silence is so loud

[Students for a Free Tibet @SFTHQ]

RT if you believe China's illegal occupation of Tibet needs to end today.

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

@EliseStefanik How? The only Republican plan I’ve seen is for sunsetting Social Security and Medicare.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Did I miss the perp walk for Brett Favre stealing millions in welfare funds, because I know for a fact that some Black people have been killed by cops for a fake $20 bill.

[Frida Ghitis @FridaGhitis]

The scenes in Iran are astonishing. How far will these protests go?

[Students for a Free Tibet @SFTHQ]

RT if you think Tibet, Hong Kong and East Turkistan should be free.

BREAKING NEWS: Democratic challenger to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Charlie Crist, declares on the @MeidasTouch Podcast that he will sign an executive order to protect a woman’s right to choose on his first day in office. RT IF YOU WANT CHARLIE CRIST TO DEFEAT DESANTIS!

They say you can know a person by their enemies. Well, here come their bullsh*t ads.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: Parkland shooting survivor David Hogg and Gen Z activist Olivia Julianna announce that they have teamed up to fundraise for Republican Senator Marco Rubio’s opponent Val Demings, and that they’ve “ALREADY raised $50,000.” RT TO THANK @davidhogg111 & @0liviajulianna!

More people need to be talking about Jackson, Mississippi. The city ran out of bottled water to give residents yesterday. It’s the largest city in Mississippi. It’s 80% Black. Their water system is failing because of years of neglect. This is environmental racism.
