Right now, U.S. and Israeli politicians are telling us that the answer to all this bloodshed is more war. But the events of the past two weeks have made it clear: The lives of Palestinians and Israelis are intertwined, and safety can only come from justice and freedom for all.
While we face a US-Israeli unfolding genocide, nothing gives Palestinians as much hope as the overwhelming solidarity mobilizations worldwide and the meaningful pressure to end complicity with apartheid Israel to stop the #GazaGenocide.
Civilians are not collateral damage.
Patients are not collateral damage.
Health staff & health facilities are not collateral damage.
Children, women & men sheltering in health facilities are not collateral damage
International Humanitarian Law must be respected.
#Gaza
"We are not secured, we are not safe. The sky is full of airstrikes and shelling everywhere."

Me: My Mormon feminist magazine arrived today!
Non-Mormon Boyfriend: R Squared? Equilibrium? What’s it called?
Me: Bahaha. Exponent II. Good memory and guesses!
Impostor syndrome is a paradox:
-Others believe in you
-You don't believe in yourself
-Yet you believe yourself instead of them
If you doubt yourself, shouldn't you also doubt your judgment of yourself?
When multiple people believe in you, it might be time to believe them.
Wyoming is 92% white.
California is 37% white.
A Wyoming voter has nearly 4x more influence than a California voter.
The Electoral College is racist. It must be abolished.
Four years ago I was dating a Mormon who wouldn’t tell me who he voted for. Now I’m dating an atheist who phone banked with me for Biden & worked at the polls all day yesterday. The country isn’t looking much better than 2016, but at least my partner is better.
Last night I had nightmares about Trump winning every state & crying with friends & the world being on fire & realizing humans would die off in 5 years & suddenly I was working outside Trump’s office terrified he was going to assault me. I woke up scared & not knowing what’s real
Thoughts while phone banking: “And if it so be that I should labor all my fall days in crying VOTE unto this people, and bring, save one soul to the polls, how great shall be my joy.” #latterdaysaintsforbiden
I saw a tweet where someone described that when they find out someone they know personally supports Trump, they lose all respect for them instantly. I liked it and retweeted it, but stopped short of sharing it on Instagram.
Why?
