@BeccaLizz I'm so sorry. I came to the US as a refugee, escaping a theocracy that slashed women's rights. I have dedicated my life to working with refugees here. It's heartbreaking to see that so many women are now refugees in their own country.

Just left an event honoring a Black sorority and spoke of the need to unite against the rising tide of white supremacy, only to be confronted by Nazis marching through downtown Nashville.

This is exactly what my Republican colleagues hate speech is fostering and inviting.

If you read anything today, let it be this. This is Israel.

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

What is there left to say? They displaced 1.4 million people to Rafah, now they are attacking it by air and land. What else do I need to do to convince you that Palestinians are human beings? That no one deserves this? If you don't see it by now, you never will.

1. 🧵 Some legacy outlets truly don’t understand how they are overwhelmingly losing audience and trust — when unfiltered images from on-the-ground journalists are showing the world a very different story.

A Palestinian refugee ‘immensely proud’ to have been awarded a full scholarship to study at the London School of Economics says she has been denied a visa from the Home Office on grounds it ‘would harm the public interest", without giving any other reasons https://t.co/cLtu196hiV

Trayvon Martin would’ve turned 29 today.

He should be celebrating with his family and friends.

Happy heavenly birthday, Trayvon. 🕊

Heartbreaking news from my Musical Ambassadors of Peace colleague in Gaza💔💔💔
Amro, the lovely bringer of joy to children was killed along with his family by one of the incessant US-sponsored attacks unleashed on Gazan civilians.

[Ari Honarvar (on Threads @rumiwithaview) @Rumiwithview]

Every day is dotted with reminders that there are no safe spaces in Gaza. Dance on Amro! And may the rest of people in this video live long fulfilling lives❤️

Palestinians are using animal feed for food in Gaza, where one UN expert says a famine could already be happening because of Israel’s war and destruction of the food system ⤵️

[Center for Human Rights in Iran @ICHRI]

Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran ruthlessly hanged at least two individuals in a horrifying state-sanctioned killing spree aimed at crushing dissent.

Mohammad Ghobadlou, despite his mental disability, endured a sham trial during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests, tainted by coerced “confessions” extracted through torture.

He was hanged today in the early morning hours.

The state's impunity in carrying out these executions goes beyond its borders, necessitating an urgent and robust international response.

Every word of this. I wish we saw more events like this around the world.

[MoTaz @motazazaiza9]

Israel killed my friend, the drone camera operator so there will not be aerial footage to show the massive destruction on the main way in the middle area. Israel killed all the journalists with drones or intercepted and stole their drones as you saw before. But I’m trying to show you with my phone and camera. It’s all about destruction, it will take years to rebuild all of this. People are exhausted everyone is tired, we’ve lost a lot.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

When it comes to military aid to Israel, the U.S. cannot write a blank check for a right-wing government that's demonstrated an appalling disregard for Palestinian lives. The U.S. should use all the tools at its disposal to condition aid & move the parties toward a lasting peace.

[Emina Ćerimović @EminaCerimovic]

More than 25,000 children in Gaza have lost one or two parents. The pain they are going through will shape them forever. What else will shape them is your response to their pain. Please choose to respond w. empathy and kindness. Please choose understanding and support.

🚨TWO IRANIAN PROTESTERS AT RISK!!

#RezaRasaei and #MojahedKourkour have been sentenced to death by #IRGCterrorists in a sham trial which typically takes no longer than 15 minutes.

Mojahed is being charged with the murder of #KianPirfalak who was killed by an IRGC agent.

Kian’s family maintains Mojahed’s innocence despite threats from the regime. And even calls him “family”

But both are due to be executed. #IranRevolution
