@DanaBashCNN @InsidePolitics Is this a fucking joke? Have you talked to a single protester? Ridiculous that you think this is anything resembling journalism

[Daniel Denvir @DanielDenvir]

The constant denial and erasure of so many anti-Zionist Jews helping lead pro-Palestine protests at Columbia and everywhere in the United States is one of the most Orwellian things I’ve witnessed in my life.

UNRWA is vital for distributing food+preventing starvation in Gaza. Any wrongdoing must be investigated, but we must restore funding NOW. Netanyahu's long wanted to dismantle UNRWA—doing so now would be a death sentence for thousands. I’m demanding action: https://t.co/TQAWJG5UeW

[Palestine Festival of Literature @PalFest]

Mohammed al-Qudwa is a young poet trying to get his family out of Gaza.

He performed his poem, LONGING FOR HAIFA, at our last festival.

Today, Mahershala Ali, reads it for you - asking everyone to click the link in our bio and contribute to Mohamed's GoFundMe. #FreePalestine

People in Gaza want a ceasefire and are not getting our humanitarian relief. If your capacity right now is only for donating, I suggest one of the following: 🧵

[Lena Shareef @LenaShareef]

Join me in urging members of Congress to co-sponsor the Ceasefire NOW Resolution that calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and a humanitarian corridor for aid. #StopGenocide #CeasefireNow https://t.co/boqt8pCTxn

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Ahh the apologies are coming out. It doesn't matter, the lies have been spread.

BBC & others have peddled in insidious, purposely anti-Palestinian and unsubstantiated information that is having a direct & fatal impact specifically on Gazans, whose slaughter is being justified.

[Lena Shareef @LenaShareef]

Can some please explain to me why Israel is continuing to bomb #Gaza if all the hostages are there? I’m not trying to start a fight. I’m genuinely wondering what is being done to get the hostages back alive? #IsraelGazaWar

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

We must call out Hamas for the evil that it is. But those seeking to use this moment to demonize & dehumanize all Palestinians & Muslims are complicit in the deaths of innocents like the brutal hate killing of this 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy, stabbed to death in Chicago.

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

We are shocked and disturbed to learn that a landlord in Chicago expressing anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian views broke into a Muslim family's apartment and attacked them with a knife, injuring the mother and killing her 6-year-old son, Wadea Al-Fayoume. @cairchicago will hold a press conference this afternoon to share more details, God willing. The Islamophobic rhetoric and anti-Palestinian racism being spread by politicians, media outlets, and social media platforms must stop. Now. #Palestine #Israel #Islamophobia #Wadea

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

In 2021, we put out this episode during the Israeli assault on Gaza. Not much has changed in how US news media covers the occupation & Palestinians.

[Precision Workers Union @precisionunion]

We support the autoworkers at the big three preparing to strike! Solidarity forever. #StandUpUAW

Thinking of my sister today. Harvard was a singular obsession with my mom during my childhood and it became my sister’s singular obsession throughout her short life. It became my own source of insecurity as a 2.8 GPA Asian (we exist) who sucked at math and standardized tests.

Maybe it’s a Gen X thing but she never once felt entitled to Harvard or worried that someone else would “take her spot” because she was in competition with herself.

Needless to say, losing her impacted our whole family. In our own ways we all stopped giving a fuck about Harvard.

So hello AAPI. I get where the obsession for elite schools as access points to the American Dream comes from. Been there, done that.

All this to say this obsession with elite schools without understanding this country’s history makes first generation immigrants easy targets for Edward Blum and friends without knowing who he even is.

It’s in their interest to see their fear of “demographic change” fighting each other for scraps because the idea of a more inclusive society for all is happening and it means a loss of control.

This is what this SCOTUS win for them was about. So feel how you want but just know that being used as a model minority tool is a choice.

@michaelgreshko Wishing you all the best Michael ❤️ Working with you on promoting all of your awesome science stories (from dinosaurs to space!) on social was one of the best parts of my job

[Michael Greshko @michaelgreshko]

Many brilliant and committed staff members remain at National Geographic. It was an honor to work with them, and they deserve your continued support.

[Allyson Felix @allysonfelix]

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain.

[Precision Workers Union @precisionunion]

Today, the workers of @precisionstrat are proud to announce that we have taken action to unionize with @CWAUnion. We’re calling on company leadership to recognize our union without delay and to join the 200-year history of workers’ rights through union representation!

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

🚨BREAKING: Workers at the progressive strategy firm, Precision Strategies (who have won awards for work done for union clients 👀) are organizing their own staff union.

Welcome to the movement, @precisionunion! We are stronger together. 💪👏

Tomorrow is my birthday. The past two weeks were extremely tough. For anyone who is reading this and going through grief and/or trauma, I would like to share a poem by Turkish poet Nâzım Hikmet Ran (1902- 1963), which kept me going in most difficult times.
