Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar won re-election by comfortable margins and the rest of the party are fighting for their lives in these states.

Let’s not pretend we don’t know how that happened.🤷🏻

And be patient.

Salute to the students protesting all around the country. Your resistance is righteous. We stand with you.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

In every protest I’ve seen, whenever Muslims are praying, people - of all backgrounds, beliefs - have shown up to protect us. I’d be lying if I said this image didn’t choke me up.

[josh! @queersocialism]

every resistance force that has ever existed has been deemed terroristic, tyrannical, hyper-violent, etc., at some point these terms have to begin losing their meaning—especially coming from the mouths of people who create, fund, arm actual terrorist groups globally w/ impunity.

This is one of the best explanations I’ve seen online about the ongoing conflict in Congo, please have a watch.

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

Israel guided 1.5 millions of Palestinians into Rafah. They moved the "safe zone" further and further south, until the Rafah was all that was left. Now they're bombing Rafah, and people have nowhere to go, nowhere to flee. It's genocide.

Notice how the theoretical rape of white women is enough to garner outrage in the West but the very real and consistent brutalisation of Palestinian women - reported time and again-moves nobody to outrage.

[Mai El-Sadany @maitelsadany]

Incredibly shameful from the @WhiteHouse. The 84 pg application submitted by South Africa to @CIJ_ICJ is well-sourced, cites to facts verified by the top outlets and journalists, and highlights trends, not one-off incidents.

"Completely without any basis in fact" is so far off.

“Maybe you’re not used to women talking!”

What an absolutely disgusting, racist display of whatever “journalism” this is supposed to be. Her explicit contempt for Arab/Muslim men is indicative of how many/most journalists like her - esp white women - engage with Palestinians.

[هناء @hanoooonz]

If you haven’t already read South Africa’s case submitted to the International Court of Justice for israel’s acts of genocide against the Palestinian people, you should take the time to do so.

But here are some highlighted portions, section by section ⬇️

[Monisha Rajesh @monisha_rajesh]

The journalists who have stayed quiet about this should hang their heads in shame. Each and every one of you, from the NYT to CNN, to the BBC should feel deep shame for your cowardly silence. Don’t ever talk about free speech and press freedom ever again.

It's even worse, they didn't just go out for the day. The mother was giving birth to her son and arrived home with a literal newborn to a stolen house. Gigi and Bella's dad Mohamed ⬇️

May 2024 see a decolonized and liberated Palestine.

I know that Yoseph Haddad is lying or misinformed because I’m a Christian from Gaza.

My family is sheltering in the Holy Family church, not from Hamas, but from Israeli airstrikes that murdered my cousin at St. Porphyrius.

It wasn’t Hamas that murdered my great aunt Elham who only wanted to return home. She was sniped and left to bleed to death. The Red Cross wasn’t given permission to rescue her. And last week we discovered a tank had run her over and flattened her body. We don’t know if she was still alive when it happened.

It wasn’t Hamas that murdered Nahida and Samar Anton, my family friends, when snipers shot them and seven others in the church courtyard.

It wasn’t Hamas that confiscated our lands in 1948 when my grandfather’s home was destroyed by the Haganah. Hamas didn’t even exist until 39 YEARS after we were expelled from our homes and 20 YEARS after the military occupation of Gaza.

It wasn’t Hamas that bulldozed my family’s orchards in 2004. It wasn’t Hamas that prevented my relatives from travelling to Bethlehem to pray at the Nativity, or Jerusalem to pray at the Holy Sepulchre for Easter.

All my relatives and family friends who left Gaza did so because they couldn’t stand the suffocation under the illegal blockade. And the truth is, we’re part of the middle and upper-middle class of Gaza; we have the means to leave. And many have relatives in the “West” and in the Gulf states that they can go to. Many of the Muslim upper-middle class also left, just as they did when Zionist forces began their ethnic cleansing operations in December 1947.

Despite that, I have relatives right now in the church who refuse to leave. Who will not let the cleansing of Palestine happen again to them. They say - proudly - we are Palestinians. We were born here, and we will do everything in our power to remain here.

So stop speaking for us. Stop putting our lives at further risk. And stop participating in our persecution.
