Truly unbelievable that after bombing Afghanistan for 20 years, & bombing Iraq for 20 years, & leaving both nations in even worse condition by killing hundreds of thousands of civilians—people still think that bombing Palestinian civilians is the path to peace.😐 #CeaseFireInGaza
MAGA Logic: -Abortion: Ban it -Marijuana: Ban it -Drag shows: Ban it -Immigration: Ban it -Public Schools: Ban it -Dialogue on racism: Ban it -Books by Black or LGBTQ authors: Ban it -Guns: BANS DON’T WORK YOU SNOWFLAKES #Lewiston
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. image
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
Wow. Rep @RoKhanna to intro major bill to increase congressional & judicial accountability: •12 year Congress term limit •18 year SCOTUS term limit •Judicial code of ethics •Ban Congress from trading stocks •Ban Corporate & PAC donations Count me in!
An appeals court has ordered a Black venture capital firm to stop grant apps supporting Black women founders b/c Fearless Fund—a right wing org—alleged racial discrimination for only helping Black women •They wont pay Black people reparations for slavery •They wont pay Black people reparations for Jim Crow •They wont give Black farmers the COVID19 aid white farmers got •Now they wont let Black people use their own money to elevate Black people White supremacy—alive & well
I need to vent. Because I love y’all. As you watch the GOP debate and see our democracy at risk of failing under their control—channel that rage into action. It’s time to crush this.

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 image
Arkansas banned paying for AP African history tests—but pays for AP European history TX banned abortion b/c a fetus has rights—but reject liability for a stillbirth b/c a fetus has no rights N Dakota GOP banned free school lunches—but gave themselves free lunches For the GOP, hypocrisy isn’t a bug—it’s the feature. Vote them out.
BREAKING: Ohio voters overwhelmingly rejected Amendment 1 tonight. So to recap: •Red KS—Citizens vote to protect access •Red MT—Citizens vote to protect access •Red KY—Citizens vote to protect access •Red WI—Citizens vote to protect access •Red OH—Citizens vote to protect access 72%+ Americans SUPPORT access. GOP runs on culture wars because they can't win on ideas. Vote Republicans out permanently.

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.
