Open every border. Tear down every wall. Let in every single refugee. And stop the wars, colonization, impoverishment, and climate change that force people to leave their homes in the first place.
@TrackAIPAC@sethmoulton Respectfully, @sethmoulton has not been silent on Gaza. He's been far worse than silent. He publicly advised Israel on the "more effective" way to forcibly displace Palestinians--the way he did to Iraqis.

Biden calls massive bombs in a densely-populated area that leveled six apartment buildings in Lebanon “a measure of justice.”
The torching of international law and the precedent that is being set should terrify us all.
Continued media framing of the US as being "dragged" into conflict, "trying but failing" to prevent war, or having "no influence" over its violent allies obscures the US' central role in driving and sustaining imperialist wars, whether in Palestine, Yemen, Sudan, or Lebanon.
I know this area in Hodeidah. You can see how children and families are heading back from the beach after the 2nd airstrike. But @CENTCOM will tell us this is also a "Houthi target."
The legacy of the U.S. “War on Terror” has been mass death and displacement. Israel has been taking notes.

After years of BDS campaigning that has cost German conglomerate @PUMA dearly in reputation and projects, we have forced it to abandon its sponsorship of the Israel Football Association in this time of Israel's #GazaGenocide.
Folks, I have done hundreds of segments, and countless ones for this same network over the years to talk about this issue. I have *never* witnessed the level of censorship and discourse policing by cable news that is taking place right now.
The replay is up at the link below. Worth it for the documentary for sure, and for the panel discussion afterwards, thanks to @SamaaahMS, @kpYES and @_carens_ for their reflections
Afterward we have a fantastic panel planned featuring Caren Holmes (@_carens_), Khury Petersen-Smith (@kpYES), and Samah Sisay of @survivepunishNY & @theCCR

Van Jones at the March for Israel: “I’m a peace guy, I pray for peace. No more rockets from Gaza, and no more bombs falling down on the people of Gaza.”
The crowd breaks out into a “NO CEASEFIRE” chant shortly after
2,000+ BLACK VOICES DEMAND CEASEFIRE NOW!
We are make this statement as Black people in solidarity with Palestinian people committed to our shared liberation
The genocide in Gaza is an EMERGENCY and we must act NOW.
