Horrific. I am Beside myself. In Plainfield, IL, a 71 year old man is in custody for stabbing to death an 6-year-old Palestinian child named Wadea Al-Fayoume & nearly killing his mother.😓 The murderer stabbed the child 26 times & yelled "you Muslims must die!"😳 No charges filed yet. Police are investigating. Please be safe my friends. Be diligent and look out for each other. God help us.

6-year-old boy killed, woman critically injured in Plainfield stabbing: Will County Sheriff's Office

The Israeli army has issued an order for the immediate relocation of 1.1M Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south in 24 hours. The UN has categorically condemned this order. Forcing 1.1M people, including 550K kids, to evacuate in 24 hours or be bombed to death is even more cruel considering THERE’S NOWHERE TO EVACUATE TO. We need a ceasefire. The response to war crimes against civilians cannot be more war crimes against more civilians. I’m horrified that this is a controversial take.

I’m scheduled to give a major keynote address tonight. The event organizers specifically invited me in light of my work as a human rights lawyer. A few days ago they saw my comments regarding the violence in Israel and Palestine. They called me yesterday—not to object—but to actively express their solidarity & support of my efforts to uphold justice above all else. Let me tell y’all—that seemingly small act was powerful. 1/2

I wrote this 11 years ago about Israel & Palestine. I'm deeply pained that it is just as relevant today. Anyone who claims Hamas is acting "per Islam," is ignorant or lying. Prophet Muhammad's (sa) rules of war reject killing civilians for any reason—ever.

Auto workers are demanding a 40% raise to match the 40% pay increase CEOs of the Detroit automakers got over the past 4 years. CEOs are calling this absurd, but they couldn't be more wrong. THIS IS A COMPROMISE. Why? Because worker's real wages have fallen 30% over the past 20 years. They're foregoing 16 years of wage theft for 4 of equity, and consistent equity going forward. That's basic justice. Pay workers. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Save our economy.

I get Romney is retiring & doing his tell all book but— 1. We already knew all this. Him affirming it makes zero difference. 2. He's still in power. He can vote w/Dems & pass BBB, child tax credit, abolish filibuster, etc—but won't. Talk is cheap. Let's see action for justice.

Today, tell your kids about Ruby Bridges—the first Black child at all-white public elementary school in South. Today Ms. Bridges turns 69. 69. She's younger than both my parents. And more importantly, she's a reminder of the courage of our youth, of the ever present reality of systemic racism, and of the need to lead with anti-racism to counter this hate. Let us look to leaders like Ms. Bridges, and build that more perfect union for all people in this country—grounded in true Justice for all

Huge win in Texas Judge Jessica Mangrum has blocked a number of Texas’ abortion bans as they apply to dangerous pregnancy complications, stating that doctors cannot be punished for providing those procedures to pregnant people with certain complications. Judge Mangrum stated that doctors cannot be prosecuted for using their own "good faith judgement.”

Trump threatens the POTUS, judges, & prosecutors that "I'M COMING AFTER YOU." DeSantis threatens anyone labeled "deep state" that he will "slit their throats." A MAGA country singer is touring on a song about lynching Black people. This is what fascism looks like. This is GOP.

Yet another Trump Indictment. Let's be clear. Trump was NOT indicted by Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Soros, Big Bird, Target, Wokeness, Disney World, the pride flag, critical race theory, or Barbie. Trump was indicted by private citizens—as the US Constitution requires. Period. Love the smell of due process on a Monday.
