Thank you so much to Angela Davis for the shout-out 💕 What an honor, and as you put it so beautifully, we must fight anti-Semitism and Islamophobia hand in hand, like @Ilhan does every day

We are sending love and strength to our Muslim siblings who stand strongly with us every day in the face of white supremacist violence.
To my dear Muslim American family,
As you gather tomorrow afternoon for Friday prayers in community, be vigilant. Watch out for another. Stay alert BUT don’t be afraid. We will not be deterred. We will not be intimidated. We will not let them keep us from God.
I love you.

The parallels are real: Black and Palestinian children are terrorized every day by the @DCPoliceDept and @IDF. This is exactly why we’re calling for an end to the #DeadlyExchange—to #StopMPD from exchanging brutal tactics with Israel. #OccupationFreeDC

Join INN DC and JVP DC Metro in mourning, grief, and rage to tell Biden: no money for massacres. We are gathering as Jews to say the Mourner's Kaddish at the White House because we refuse to allow President Biden to claim that he is arming Israel in the name of Jewish safety.

1/ The ADL is denying they target and surveil social justice groups, despite 100+ progressive orgs publicly calling to #DroptheADL for doing so.
Fact: In May 2018, the ADL worked with private security firms to track and surveil our @JVPDCMetro and @OFDC_Campaign meetings.

Rather than report the reality, one in which the Palestinians were resisting an unlawful Israeli military occupation then as they are today, the international news media has consistently framed Palestinians as the perpetrators and Israelis as the victims.

The tweet this morning deserves; so much gratitude for our movement ancestors
This country is unbearable, but we're gonna take care of each other. We're gonna fight like hell for reproductive justice, safe abortions for all, queer and trans liberation, the abolition of police, a free Palestine, a just and livable world. Your queer ancestors are with you.❤️

As loud anti- zionist Jews, we agree; it's not our fucking land.
Israelis should just be happy that we plan on letting them stay after liberation. We don’t owe you shit. It’s not your fucking land. Allowing your colonizing ass to stay under a one state solution is a benevolent gift to humanity. I know, we are a wonderful people.
