I would like everyone between the river and the sea to be free, regardless of religion or ethnicity, in whatever arrangement they choose. That's not the case right now.

I was watching an interview with Novak, the B'tselem director, where she says that when she was young, she kept trying to advocate to reform Israel and shed away the occupation, and, to paraphrase her from memory, "Israel kept telling me, no, no, Israel IS the occupation".

Okay, let me get this straight. The Iranians rose up. We let them get slaughtered. And then we bombed Iran on the assumption killing more Iranians would unkill the Iranians we let get killed so they'd kill the Iranians we're killing for us.

one of the reasons i am sad Refaat Alareer is gone is because he should have had more time to keep reading and writing. His job was a translator and literature professor, and he wanted to keep doing it

The Biden administration was fully complicit in genocide, and anyone who served in it should be held accountable.

Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed. Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?" Hewson: "Yes."

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Why does this 11 year old, who absolutely has the best excuse to not know about Japanese internment (being 11), still have a better more intellectually rigorous response to learning about it and seeing the fact she hadn't been taught yet as a disservice than most adults I know in similar situations?

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

The best writing I’ve ever done was a line by line exegesis of the second inaugural. A beautiful, courageous speech. Incredible to imagine a leader in wartime who could stand in front of his country and say, “we deserve to die for the crimes we have allowed.”

That the UAE is positioning itself as peace maker in relation to the war in Ukraine is ludicrous as they fuel the war in Sudan by arming the RSF.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

one (of many) things i don't like about genAI is that if i suggest something like "Frank Sinatra - but he's a hotdog" to a group of people they each get to imagine their own version of what that would look like and riff on their own imaginings.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.
