And now, #COVID19 has officially hit Gaza. With Israel allowing only 1,000 testing kits into Gaza when they have a population of 2 million, we know how disastrous this can become and how many Palestinians will die. #PalestineLandDay https://t.co/CG8ygSpyEW
Today, March 30, marks the 44th anniversary of #PalestineLandDay, when six Palestinians were killed & hundreds injured by Israeli forces in 1976, while marching in thousands against Israeli land theft.
Calling on my rep @janschakowsky & every member of US congress to sign on to @IlhanMN & @AOC's congressional letter urging @stevenmnuchin1 to lift sanctions on Iran immediately. EVERY 10 MINUTES someone dies in Iran from #COVID19. We need to act NOW. #EndCOVIDSanctions
diversifying police forces or governmental institutions like the FBI does not solve the underlying systematic issues. stop telling black youth to go in these fields to “make them see themselves”, this is just subjecting them to harms of such a broken system (1/4)
israel, who as an occupier controls everything going into and out of palestine, only let 600 covid-19 tests into the occupied territories. 600 for a population of 5 million. on top of ramping up home demolitions and refusing to end the blockade on gaza.
Imagine thinking roads are a necessary part of society, so the government has to build them, but housing is not.
Like...where am I going to drive if I'm homeless?
This was a few days ago & I still can't stop thinking about it. ICE agents literally, in the middle of a global pandemic, dressed up as doctors to trick a family into allowing them into their home to detain the father!?
Yes, halt ICE raids during #COVID19 but also #ABOLISHICE.
If you'd told me 17 years ago today, as the invasion of Iraq began, that our anti-war side would be tragically vindicated & 17 years later Iraq would still be war-torn but that the Democrats would be nominating a war supporter as their prez nominee...I'd have been lost for words.
I keep hearing about how we shouldn’t tax billionaires because it might limit their philanthropy. They aren’t being taxed right now.
Where the fuck is Zuckerberg?
Where the fuck is Bezos?
Where the fuck are the Walton fam?
Where the fuck is Musk?
Where the fuck is Bloomberg?
.@MGoBernstein if UM is serious about moving towards carbon neutrality (and we desperately need to be ahead of the curve, not lagging behind), then we need fossil fuel divestment now! GEO is bargaining for our future!

.@MikeJBehm UM works because of graduate student labor, so we deserve a living wage in the face of rising housing costs in Ann Arbor. Like our allies in the #UCSCstrike, we are fighting for a living wage and the right to #livewherewework#RegentsCanYouHearUs#UMGEO
So, lemme get this straight:
San Francisco under 24 hr lockdown.
New Orleans says no gatherings larger than 10 people.
CDC says no gatherings larger than 50.
NYC shut down!
And yet @dnc is gonna have a primary where thousands of people will be in line??
