I'm struck by this Israeli soldier asking: "What the fuck are we doing? Who is this for?". Terrorizing and killing Palestinians is done in the name of giving Jewish people superiority, privileges, and power. And enforcing white dominance and imperialism in the Middle East.
This is yet another example of what it is like to be Palestinian under Israeli occupation. At any moment Israelis come in through your door with big guns & make your daughter pee herself because they won't allow you to take her to the bathroom. Never mind all the kids they kill.

They're so petty in their evil. Never seen anything like it. They hate Palestinians so deeply, it's the scariest thing I've ever witnessed.
Israeli occupation soldiers raid the home of recently released Palestinian prisoner Mohammad Hatem Basheer in the town of Idhna, destroying chairs set up for his welcome reception following his release from Israeli prisons.

You famously said "At least the IDF doesn't rape.". Boy were you wrong. They just raped a doctor to death the other day. Raped someone. To death. On top of the countless other rapes. That's who you support. You are complicit in genocide and should be criminally prosecuted.
You came to a place of Jewish worship, stood on the Bhima, near the holy Torah scroll, and pretended to be congregants. You have no shame, no decency, and no clue what you’re talking about.

They've now banned tents. Are you fucking kidding me. It's raining nonstop! How evil can these demonic Zionists get?!.
Israeli forces have prohibited the entry of tents into Gaza. As a result, people are living in makeshift shelters made of plastic and blankets, which have all been flooded due to the heavy rain.

We circulate his photo every year, on this day. Yet 17 years later, most of America still doesn't know his name, what happened to him after 9/11 & the significance. Look at his face. Learn his name. Learn his story. Balbir Singh Sodhi. RIP, Uncle. We love in your memory ❤️.
17 years ago, Balbir Singh Sodhi became the first casualty of a post-9/11 hate crime. Honor his memory by pledging to stand against hate.

They're gang raping children. Israelis are gang raping Palestinian children. They did it before October 2023 but it's now much worse. They are raping children. They burn them alive too. They starve them. They blow them up into little pieces. These people are ungodly.
BREAKING: A Palestinian civilian raped by female Israeli guards has given direct testimony that children are also being mass raped in their dungeons. He says genital mutilation and torture is routine, and Israeli doctors also join in on the torture. Zero coverage in Western media

Imagine being a mother and signing a bomb that will be used to kill babies, toddlers, and children. Imagine writing the words "Finish Them" on this bomb. You're the worst of humanity @NikkiHaley.

Your administration made us witness children without heads. Children missing half their skulls. Children's body parts scattered all over the rubble. Children screaming in agony as they get amputated without anesthesia. Children burned to the bone without painkillers. So NO.
We cannot allow ourselves to go back to the chaos and division of the Trump presidency—but @JoeBiden and I can’t stop him alone. Can we count on you to join our fight by pitching in today?

A historically inaccurate take. Sikhs and Muslims were hunted down, beaten, and killed on the streets in retaliation - months and even years to follow. The first person killed in backlash was Balbir Singh Sodhi, a turbaned Sikh on 9/15/01 in AZ, by a white man seeking revenge.
Overall, Americans took 9/11 pretty calmly. Notably, there wasn't a mass outbreak of anti-Muslim sentiment and violence, which could all too easily have happened. And while GW Bush was a terrible president, to his credit he tried to calm prejudice, not feed it 2/.

In less than 2 minutes, a monster killed 8 and wounded 5 people working at a Fedex in Indianapolis. And we've just learned that over 90% of the Fedex employees at that facility are from our community - Sikhs. When will this madness and violence stop. When is enough enough @POTUS?.

The most hilarious reveal from the #PrinceHarryMemoir leaks is that Charles, the King of England, yes that one, expressed concern about financially supporting Harry & Meghan, claimed he was struggling to support William & Kate. While drowning in riches stolen from ard the world.

Read Rachel Corrie's email to her mother from February 2003. Yes over 20 years ago. She described what was happening even then to the Palestinians as genocide. "I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop.". Rachel. Our hero.
Rachel Corrie died 21 years ago to this day. I don’t know you and we never met, and sadly we never will in this lifetime because you were killed by an Israeli bulldozer, while protesting the demolitions of Palestinian homes.

Do people understand that in addition to bombing Palestinians, destroying their homes and cutting off their lifesaving supplies, Israel also randomly shoots at them on the streets of Gaza? They've sniped babies, kids, adults. Everyone. Israel is a mass shooter gone wild.
Israeli snipers are firing on people on the main road in Dair Al-Balah.They were shooting at a young boy that was riding a bike on the street, he was on the ground under fire and miraculously escaped in the end.

This is the right move. The LSAT does not predict how well you will do in law school, on the bar exam, or as a practicing attorney. The LSAT simply rewards those with the resources to take as many standardized test prep courses as possible.
BREAKING: the ABA is officially recommending the elimination of the standardized test requirement for admission to law school

@OccupyDemocrats By the way the mom did not get vaccinated because she had an adverse reaction to vaccines in the past. Not that that matters - this was a terrible, awful decision by the judge regardless and it's good he reversed it.

I never thought there could be a President I hated more than Trump or George W. Bush. Enter Genocide Joe.
The Biden administration has sent 244 cargo planes and 20 ships carrying 10,000 tonnes of military hardware to Israel during its genocidal war on Gaza. Genocide in Gaza, made in the USA.

Wait what happened to the goodness of the soul being more important than the physical body? Enlightenment and such? I guess not for women eh. .
This was perhaps the most surprising moment in the interview. I asked the Dalai Lama if he stood by his earlier comment that if his successor was female, she should be attractive. He said he did. Watch here:. #DalaiLama #BBCDalaiLama.

Six years ago today, on a sunny Sunday morning in Wisconsin, a neo-Nazi affiliated gunman killed these 6 beautiful people because he did not like the way they looked - the color of their skin & their Sikh religious appearance. At their OWN HOUSE OF WORSHIP. #RememberOakCreek

Hi @jess_hilarious, becoming alarmed by a Sikh man in a turban on a plane & viewing him as a threat is being complicit w/ white supremacy. Do you know that the Sikh turban stands for fighting injustice & oppression? Our communities must stand together, not tear each other down.

With this primary, the closest I feel our society will get to achieving meaningful gender equality is by electing @BernieSanders. His policies will open more doors for women than any POTUS prior to him or anyone else running. Now that is a feminist revolution.
More women have given to Bernie’s campaign than any other campaign. We have the most diverse, least white collation. But the millionaires on the View openly smear the teachers, Walmart workers, and post office employees who form our base. Shameful.

@davidmweissman @HillaryClinton It's awesome that Secretary Clinton shared this! You may want to try and connect with her team, tell her more of your story, and see what else you can do to get out the vote. Yours is a story that we don't hear every day and I bet you have a lot of valuable lessons to share.
