I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Americans: the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING you can do for Gaza right now is call your Senators every single day until November 21 and ask them to co-sign Senate Joint Resolutions 111-116, which would block the 11 BILLION DOLLARS of military aid we’re about to send Israel. USCPR has scripts.
If you're feeling paralyzed and don't know where to start:

gazafunds.com has a list of families that desperately need support.

uscpr.org has tons of resources; currently I'm focused on the Joint Resolutions of Disapproval re: the TWENTY BILLION DOLLARS OF WEAPONS the US is about to send Israel

I wrote a book with @prisonculture.bsky.social about the kind of work that's ahead of us. No matter what happens next, let's get our learn on and think strategically about the work of collective survival. Isolation incubates fear. Together, we are strong, and we will fight for each other.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
