The Israeli government’s use of starvation as a weapon of war has proven deadly for children in Gaza.

Israel needs to end this war crime, stop this suffering, and allow humanitarian aid to reach all of Gaza unhindered. bit.ly/3TVZu7b

The argument that Biden's student loan forgiveness plans are some sort of giveaway to rich Ivy Leaguers majoring in Gender Studies fills me with rage. Newsflash: RICH PEOPLE WRITE CHECKS TO PAY THEIR KIDS' TUITION. Middle, working class & poor people need student loans. JFC. 1/2

The murder of Dexter Reed at the hands of police is inexcusable. 96 shots in 41 seconds is beyond appalling.

Police do not keep our communities safe- it is time to defund the police and #StopCopCity

Rest in Peace and Power Dexter. 🖤

Justice for Dexter Reed! Come out TONIGHT to the 11th DC meeting, the district where Dexter Reed was assassinated, to raise our demands. Repsfrom the COPA have committed to attend. And we need to be there in force to demand they act swiftly to fire all five officers involved!

Terminally ill Walid Daqqa suffered 'severe medical neglect & ill-treatment'. In Nov, prison staff 'handcuffed him behind his back, dragged him & tried to force him to kiss the 🇮🇱flag while beating him hard'. He is at least the 41st Palestinian to die in 🇮🇱custody in 6 months.

THREAD: Subway used to have $5 footlongs, now it’s “$6, six inches”. The McChicken used to be $1, now it's almost $3. Taco Bell’s Beefy 5-layer burrito was $0.89 in 2009, now it’s $3.69.

Fast food companies want to blame inflation or the minimum wage going up. It’s all a lie.

🚨Stop Scrolling!

Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of Greta Thunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics.

A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image

There are no universities in Gaza left standing and now no hospitals

Very thoughtful piece about #MLKing and how to keep pushing towards justice. I first encountered the distinction b/w hope vs. optimism in a talk by Cornell West in the late 1990s. I've been using this wise distinction ever since. He's hoping for the best 😉🤞✊

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Deputy sheriff in Southern California arrested on weapons & gang charges 😳

The coded #racism of #Alabama gov is sad if totally unsurprising. She wore #blackface as a college student. That she also wants white working class Alabamans to earn less isn’t a shock either. Old school racist elitist that’s what she is

“It’s sad that our governor thinks so little of Alabama workers, that we’re only good for cheap labor,” said Jeremy Kimbrell, Mercedes worker…

“We know better, and that’s why we’re choosing to unionize and end the Alabama discount.” al.com/news/2024/04/g…
