I wish I didn’t have to write this. I am an artist, not a politician, and would rather speak through creative action than explanatory text. But I find that for several reasons, I must respond to accusations and smears made against me these last couple of weeks. 🧵 1/12.

As usual, children are just treated as though they are things to be owned and ordered about. What about what they think about going back to school? I haven't heard a single young persons voice represented in any media. I'd love to know what your young people think. .

This included a discussion as to whether or not I should be arrested for my activism. My safety and the safety of my family has been threatened by some pretty scary people, emboldened by the rhetoric of frontline politicians, as well as cravenly irresponsible coverage. 🧵 6/12.

On Saturday at the March for Palestine I led the crowd to sing “Yma o hyd” (“still here” in Cymraeg) and “Sumud” (“steadfast perseverance” in Palestinian) together. And above those beautiful voices I sang this poem by Ukranian-Jewish-Puerto Rican poet Aurora Levins Morales:

I do not support Hamas and condemn them for the attack on October 7th. There were undoubtedly war crimes committed, appalling acts, including the massacre of innocent civilians and hostage-taking. My heart goes out to the victims of that attack, the hostages, and their families.

🎶 “You’ll never walk alone” has always meant a lot to me, I believe this phrase has great power. The genocide that is happening in Palestine at the hands of Israel is one of the biggest tests of our individual and collective moral fibre. Currently the world is failing that test.
