Rep. John Lewis speaking at the march on Washington 54 years ago during the civil rights movement. He was only 23 years old at the time.
Listen to his words and you'd think he gave this speech today.
REST IN PEACE 😔💔
Ro and I visited the destroyed village of Zanuta and the site of an EU-funded school that got burned down by settlers.
It was here that we got intercepted and captured by settlers wielding American-made rifles. The IDF showed up to back up the settlers, not the U.S. congressman.
His name is Amin Abdullah. He is the security guard who gave his life to protect the children and stop the terror attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego. This man died a hero, but should still be alive and would be if it weren’t for the rising hatred against Muslims. RIP.
I am horrified by the deadly attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego, an apparent act of anti-Muslim violence.
Islamophobia endangers Muslim communities across this country. We must confront it directly and stand together against the politics of fear and division. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community grieving this devastating attack.
The NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city out of an abundance of caution. There are currently no known threats to NYC houses of worship.
Bombing Iran in the middle of negotiations, while starving Cuba, while genociding Palestinians, while threatening to invade Greenland… the US and Israel are the single greatest threat to humanity and it’s not even close. We are all forced to live in the nightmare they create.
Independent journalist Georgia Fort was, like Don Lemon, arrested for doing her job: documenting a protest of public concern. When members of the press are taken into custody simply for filming and reporting, it sends a chilling message to every journalist in America. The First Amendment does NOT belong to the powerful; it exists to protect truth, accountability, and the public’s right to know. We must speak out when press freedom is under attack!
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today. ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Tearing up watching these videos. What grace. Debbie Allen giving her flowers. When Misty made principal it gave faith to so many girls who weren’t typically chosen.
I appreciate Jasper for helping our farmers, but it’s sad that Palestinian voices need validation from an American journalist to be believed. Settler attacks happen almost daily, yet they only make news when filmed by an American. Again, much appreciation to Jasper.
If I am killed in the West Bank, please know that I blame you personally @GovMikeHuckabee. I was set up by the IDF to be attacked by 100 armed settlers. When I sent the embassy the video and asked for protection for me and everyone else in Turmus’ayya, they literally said no.
This is a stunningly inaccurate read. They keep asking Zohran about his position on Israel and Gaza because he acknowledges it’s a genocide (what you’re not supposed to do!) and he’s Muslim. That’s it. HE is not the one making it the centerpiece of his campaign. The media is.
Perhaps it slips your mind that the crowds you see in the picture are not returning to anything — our homes and streets no longer exist. Everything has turned into emptiness, rubble upon sand. All that remains are the photos we’ve kept in our memories and on our phones, and a bit of love we’ve tucked away deep in our hearts to nurture our children with — a love for the soil of this land that knows our souls and our faces well.
We are not returning to our houses, but to resist all this injustice, to plant, to build, and to light up our homeland anew.
We return, carried by longing, walking tens of kilometers without feeling tired.
This is fucking insane: ICE raided a building in Chicago and pulled out everyone, US citizens, some naked! And an ICE agent told a woman "fuck those kids."
This was so insane, Nicolle Wallace dropped an F bomb on air.
Totally appropriate. 😡
