@gutsylivv Was there last night and many people were just so in awe. I promise there was a lot of people singing and dancing! When she hit that note, we were just mesmerized
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.
Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers.
My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers.
This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.
My brain can’t comprehend how a monkey and a penguin get more attention than an actual human baby, starving in the middle of a genocide. People in Gaza deserve to live too. No child deserves to be starved to death or shot in the head.
white people love that “etiquette” thing. fandom etiquette. concert etiquette. poc taking up too much space now there are suddenly all these unspoken rules
Today is Land Day.
50 years ago today, six un-armed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and more than 100 were injured during protests against Israel’s confiscation of Palestinian land.
Palestinians observe today by holding protest marches and planting olive trees.
@faithscherry Notice that none of these are explicitly Palestinian charities. The IRC works across many regions. It’s good that he donates, but saying he donated to Palestine specifically is a stretch. His funds may never have reached Palestine
Every video I see of Saleh I can tell he was a kind soul. Whether it was a baby or an animal, he was gentle with them. He survived 2 years of genocide with a smile on his face the entire time.
