Indeed we were #Socialists and still are.

It is quite possible to oppose the full scale genocide in Gaza & the West Bank without condoning the attack on October 7th. All you need is a functioning moral compass which both @KarenAttiah & @PeterBeinart possess.

[Karen Attiah @KarenAttiah]

There is an out of context, bad faith video going around of an event I did on Monday at a book talk with Peter Beinart.

And I want to make things very clear:

I have never in any way, celebrated what happened on October 7th. I have, and will never celebrate rape, period.

[David Marcus @BlueBoxDave]

I’ve followed Karen’s coverage of this, and as diametrically as we are opposed on the issue, she has never celebrated 10/7. We have to able to disagree without defamation.

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

At my book event last night, a Kahanite publication tried to create the impression that I justify Oct 7, even though I condemn it at length in my book. What they left out of their video is me condemning Oct 7 in that very exchange, as I have literally thousands of times.

#IdentityPolitics is on everyone's lips to express blame 4 what occurred on 11-5. Everyone in the MSM & gov't whether right, left or center gets it wrong. Read #CombaheeRiver Collective Statement & find out what Black women meant. @smithcaringcirc @RachCarmona @blkwomenradical

[Barbara Smith @TheBarbaraSmith]

After enduring a Klan rally masquerading as an inauguration yesterday, we need to work to end #WhiteSupremacy more than ever! Here's a good place for inspiration. @dem8z @Britt4People @garysbroderick @blkwomenradical @SNCCLegacy @ZinnEdProject @JessedHagopian @StrugIsEternal

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

“During Jim Crow, EVERY interaction with a white person had the potential to end in violence or death.”
- Barbara Smith on the brutal reality of racial terrorism in the US—a system designed to dehumanize & harm Black people at every level—at JVP Albany's #BlackHistoryMonth panel.

[Barbara Smith @TheBarbaraSmith]

Six years later as we face a second t- - -p presidency, distorted versions of identity politics are being used to explain #Dems loss and Republicans' desire to return to a white man's country, circa 1850.

[Barbara Smith @TheBarbaraSmith]

By the way, there is so much more wrong with Brooks's argument, especially when he talks about Martin Luther King's success resulting from "our" universal principles and common humanity. Funny, that's not how I remember Jim Crow. https://t.co/lxvxEguBiB

I am incredibly proud to announce the release of "Beyond Fragility: The Legacy of Anti-Racist White Women," a timely and vital discussion with veteran feminist organizers and scholars @TheBarbaraSmith, Susan Moir, and @mabsegrest.

This conversation about anti-racism is perfectly timed with the inauguration of a white nationalist regime. Thanks for amplifying it on all your social media! #BeyondFragility @blkwomenradical @mtholyokenews_ @aamhc @haymarketbooks @ZinnEdProject @ZEisenstein @M_Lipshutz
