Last night, the Israeli army killed 9 Palestinians in an attack on Jenin. Israeli forces have now killed at least 27 Palestinians already this year. All eyes on Palestine.
Quote Tweet
Heavily armed soldiers entered the camp, disguised in a commercial truck, and opened fire on residents attempting to stop their entry.
The latest killing brings the death toll of Palestinians killed this year to 29

This is what Jenin looks like after #Israel's 3-hours raid that killed 9 Palestinians & wounded dozens this morning.
A hell of a pinpoint operation!

26 יום בלבד חלפו מתחילת השנה.
29 פלסטינים, גברים אשה וילדים, ישראל הרגה בשטחים.
עשרות פצועים, רבבות בטראומה במחנות פליטים שהפכו לשדות קרב.
בפיגוע הבא אצטער ואבכה. אבל לא אגיד מילה.
מגיע לנו.
את הגינוי היחיד אשמור לאשם היחיד: ממשלת ישראל. הדם על הידיים שלכם.
די לטבח.

Not having to defend the entire community when someone from the group commits violence is a privilege not afforded to marginalized people.
Resist the urge to flatten the narrative. Let complexities be complex, and remember we get to be human, just like everyone else.

As rents increase & Boston feels unlivable steps up to take on the forbidden word “rent control”. Growing up in a city that has displaced my family & friends I appreciate the intentionality on this policy.

I remember my father for the ideals that he held, and I know that if he were here today, he would be proud of our progress, but deeply disappointed by some of our failures. That is why we must continue to fight for peace, justice, and equity. Happy birthday, dad.

May Martin Luther King’s memory be for a blessing, and fuel us towards a radically just world.
Quote Tweet
Today, let us remember Martin Luther King as he was: A Black radical anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, revolutionary Christian internationalist who was deemed an enemy of the State and assassinated for his radical work. Just about everything else is a lie.

Missouri Republicans passed new rules:
1. Women lawmakers are banned from showing their bare arms.
2. Women lawmakers are required to cover their dress with a “second layer”.

I managed to convince my Russian emigre friends to join me at the protest in Tel-Aviv—recognizing both truths that they deserve shelter as Russian Jewish refugees, and that Israel/Palestine must be free for Palestinians and Jews alike ❤️

Israel: where you can’t legally wave a Palestinian flag, but where you can legally demolish and displace an entire Palestinian village. The “only democracy in the Middle East” or an Apartheid state? 🍉

People: “How’s Haiti doing? What’s the situation there?”
Me: “Besides the instability, the kidnappings and the worsening economic situation, there’s always this 👇🏽 »
Quote Tweet
As of today, Haiti does not have a single elected official. The 3 branches of power are dysfunctional. The International community (BINUH and The Core Group) is the main decision-maker. We are perhaps further away from democracy than we were in the early 90s.
