If Hakeem Jeffries feels like a mouthpiece for AIPAC it might be because they spent nearly $1M—almost the equivalent of his net worth—to reelect his pro-Israel ass
The Democrats are basically recreating the drained pool theory, against Palestinians and sacrificing Free Speech for all.

The plaza itself was a lie from the start -
@mayorbowser.bsky.social has only ever been good at disappearing native DC residents for her lucrative real estate deals so BLM plaza was only ever a PR move for her, but this is still sickening to see: www.instagram.com/reel/DHBg9lD...

I’m feeling a sense of calm and peace as I’m watching white supremacy tear itself apart.
On Saturday I marched with strong Congolese women whose births defied the rape statistics that loomed over their heads from birth.
The protest, small but mighty, also brought out some of my dearest friends ❤️

Also should note the large presence of keffiyehs at today’s event—
Queer Palestinians exist and deserve our protection and love, even if it means hard conversations about what collective safety really looks like.

Protest against Trump’s takeover of the Kennedy Center 💃🏽 • Feb 13 2025
Queer, trans, and disabled folks will be the ones who die first, throughout, and after.
They will also be the ones of the front lines fighting for our collective freedom.
Protecting them means protecting us all, I promise.

Who’s ready to be visibly queer and liberated to save the arts?
Artists are the facilitators of the emotional revolution—I love our breakers so much, and they will always have a role, but I’m officially hanging up my “breaker” hat and instead donning my “builder” hat

Establishment Dems went against public sentiment—
Many Dems including @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social accepted what came out to millions of dollars in funding from the foreign interest group AIPAC to unseat progressive candidates like @coribush.bsky.social and Jamal Bowman

It’s the same exact playbook that allowed the ongoing genocide in Palestine to come to where it is, which, btw, is largely opposed by the American public
That made the country HATE students fighting injustice with such vitriol, that led to laughter and derisiveness

Reminder that every “radical leftist”, you know has a real story to tell you as to why—and how—they were “radicalized”
Growing up, most people said I’d be Leslie Knope - I was civically engaged, deeply empathetic, and truly wishing to make the world a better place

Just a reminder to leftists—your grief and anger is valid, but there are siblings who are still colonized who deserve the opportunity to be freed.
There will be so many people who have not been able to learn what we know bc they’re too busy surviving, and I’m not comfortable leaving them behind

There is no separating the global retribution against South Africa by bitch baby Afrikaner is part of a larger pushback against the wins we had against apartheid.
