All OK. But please do still take action! Put Israel on Notice and demand that states take action to guarantee “Madleen” safe passage. bit.ly/IsraelOnNotice

As of this moment, the Maltese Coast Guard has not responded to the Freedom Flotilla’s SOS. 30 humanitarian aid volunteers are on board a civilian vessel in distress 17nm off the coast of Malta. If anything happens to them, in addition to Israel, Malta will be responsible. Contact info for PM.

BREAKING! One of the @freedomflotilla.bsky.social ships has come under attack in international waters. Drones struck the front of the civilian vessel twice, causing a fire and breach in the hull. Drones are still circling the boat endangering the lives of the volunteers on board. #FreedomFlotilla

Someone anonymously left these sweatshirts in a bag on my porch yesterday. The first line of unsigned note they included is chilling:

“The criminalization of protest makes my wife fear having these in our house.”

That sentence says so much about where we are right now as a country. #FightFascism

This is outrageous! Immigrants are entitled to full First Amendment protections.

This is an assault on the very foundations of our Constitution. If we don’t stop this now, citizens will be next.

To be clear, this isn’t about combatting antisemitism, it’s about shielding Israel from criticism.

What kind of world lets this happen? And there are people who celebrate this. Applaud it. Justify it. The depths of this cruelty are unfathomable. It is not just hatred—it is a total collapse of humanity. A black hole where conscience should be. #Gaza #Genocide

Overwhelmed by the sheer depth of this evil — the unrelenting horror of what Israel is doing in Gaza and the monstrous complicity that enables it.

A father holds his daughter in his arms for the last time. She’s dead. The US and Israel killed her (and 16K+ other children)

Palestinians in the West Bank are being lynched daily, either by Israeli settlers, soldiers or both.

In the Nuremberg Trials, Nazi officials were prosecuted for ordering such reprisals against civilians & using collective punishment as tool of war. Threats & actions against civilians as retaliation or coercion are war crimes and, as part of broader pattern of violations, crimes against humanity.

In 1936, Columbia expelled students for protesting Naziism. Today, Columbia is expelling students for protesting Zionism. History repeats itself. #FreeSpeech #StudentProtests

BREAKING! via Harvard Undergraduate PSC:

Less than a week after the Trump administration abducted Mahmoud Khalil in an attempt to repress the student movement for Palestine, Harvard Law School students overwhelmingly (73%) vote in favor of referendum to divest from Israel.

Line to see Bernie Sanders in Warren, MI is CRAZY! Doors opened at 2:30 PM. At 4 PM, the line was still winding around both the high school & middle school! People still coming!

I don’t see any news vans or helicopters though 🤔 #FightOligarchy

Some women’s names make headlines, their courage widely recognized—but countless more fight in silence, their sacrifices unseen, their stories untold. Today, and every day, we honor them. Their fight for freedom, dignity and justice is a fight for us all.

Honored to pen the forward to this critical work. In a time when understanding the Palestinian struggle has never been more urgent, this book invites readers to explore the challenges and triumphs of women engaged in this fight. #WomensHistoryMonth

If the ICC is serious about justice, it’s time to investigate US officials, past and present, complicit in genocide and trying to obstruct the work of the Court. Nobody’s above the law… unless we let them be. #ICC #Gaza

RIP President Carter.

This is Carter joining a protest against Israel’s forcible transfer of Palestinians from their home in Sheikh Jarrah, East Jerusalem in 2010. A humble man dedicated to justice for our human family; a true leader.

Thank you Mr. President. Godspeed.

The 5th infant —20 day old Jomaa Al-Batran—died of hypothermia in Gaza today. Five are only the ones we know about. It’s likely many more; and definitely many more will die if Israel is not stopped. Babies are freezing to death while the world watches.
