Good news everyone!
I just took action with @TheActionNet: Pledge to write in "Uncommitted" on April 23rd in the PA Presidential primary election. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge-t…
Susan Wild sponsors legislation to protect white Ukrainian children, n Sponsors nothing to protect brown Palestinian children dying of hunger.

I'm sickened to see this. The audacity to believe cops need special protection, above and beyond the existing laws they "enforce" is ignorant at best and downright dangerous at worst. What a waste of time, and so clearly an appeal for FOP $$ that puts civilians at risk.

I recently heard a smart criticism that @Musikfest disproportionately chooses male artists for their headliners. Unfortunately they'd rather block commenters on Instagram than engage with this meaningful critique. I, for one, would love to see more female artists on the mainstage

This shift in rhetoric is proof that our pro-peace movement is working. While I'm glad the administration is finally calling for a ceasefire, we need a LASTING ceasefire NOT a 6-week pause. @POTUS must facilitate an immediate, lasting #CeasefireNow & stop funding war crimes.

Feeling this so hard right now. If what we're fighting for can't reform the Supreme Court, guarantee healthcare and housing for all, or stop a horrific genocide, what are we trying to preserve?

Over and over again, I hear the President and Members of Congress express deep concern about Netanyahu and the humanitarian disaster in Gaza that he has caused. Then why are they supporting giving Netanyahu another $10 billion to continue his war against the Palestinian people?

With my mother. Daddy’s funeral. He wasn’t assassinated because he wanted his children to be judged “by the content of their character.” But for dismantling racism, poverty & militarism. He wanted corrective measures to eradicate racism, not the delusion that it doesn’t exist.
Proud of the community standing up for humanity. Embarrassed that the Dem candidate for president needs riot police to hide from his constituents. Is this the "democracy" we're fighting for?

The reason why you don’t see police at a white supremacist rally is the same reason you don’t see Clark Kent and Superman in the same place.
White supremacists are now marching in Charleston, West Virginia. With no police in sight.
No wonder they banned TikTok. There’s about 100,000 videos like this going viral on there right now. tiktok.com/@angie__mariie…
Earlier today, anti-genocide protesters (students and non-students alike) pushed anti-riot police off campus by marching forward, holding umbrellas to repel police munitions.
Proud to join faculty and elected officials across the city demanding that Penn not arrest or discipline peaceful protestors for Palestinian liberation. We are grateful for the students’ leadership and urge our universities, and our city, to hear their call.
truly no one does a better job of proving how irrelevant police are to “public safety” than the police themselves 💀

This time, Indiana State Police made targeted arrests against vocal pro-Palestinian speakers. This isn’t about a fake rule they just passed, this is open political repression.
Students from Loyola & Tulane universities in New Orleans shut down a stretch of St. Charles Ave. for about an hour today in a pro-Palestinian rally. Unlike recent protests in other states, the police kept a distance & made no arrests. @NOLAnews
This Black student singing gospel (which emerged from the souls and spirits of slaves) while the Black police (who likely heard the same song in church but are doing work descended from slave patrols) is truly something to behold.
Atlanta Police Department hiring event in Brooklyn was disrupted today by abolitionists who released 300 crickets into the Marriott hosting. The fire alarm was also pulled. Per release: “We are everywhere. We are the horde of locusts that will destroy you.”
“what struck me most about those who are protesting is how long they waited. the restraint they showed. not the spontaneity, the restraint. they waited and waited for justice. and it didn’t come. no one talks about that...” - Toni Morrison
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-…
Students and staff from Temple, Drexel, and UPenn have launched an encampment at @Penn in solidarity with Palestinians. They’re demanding the universities divest from apartheid and cut ties with Israel. We stand in unwavering solidarity with them and the people of Palestine. 🇵🇸
Faculty have formed a human barrier between their CUNY students and campus police.
“Only a few bad apples!” argument shot dead out of the water when every single apple at the same time, in the same week, on college campuses in 15+ cities around the country, has giddily put on riot gear to turn college students sitting on a lawn into a violent cluster fuck☺️
Emory's Caroline Fohlin is knocked down by the police while shouting: “I’m a professor!!” Hear the disbelief in her voice. She never expected to be treated like this by her own university for protesting Israel's slaughter. But remember, democracy is on the ballot in Nov...
