The Israeli army has issued an order for the immediate relocation of 1.1M Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south in 24 hours. The UN has categorically condemned this order.
Forcing 1.1M people, including 550K kids, to evacuate in 24 hours or be bombed to death is even more cruel considering THERE’S NOWHERE TO EVACUATE TO.
We need a ceasefire.
The response to war crimes against civilians cannot be more war crimes against more civilians. I’m horrified that this is a controversial take.
I’m scheduled to give a major keynote address tonight. The event organizers specifically invited me in light of my work as a human rights lawyer. A few days ago they saw my comments regarding the violence in Israel and Palestine.
They called me yesterday—not to object—but to actively express their solidarity & support of my efforts to uphold justice above all else. Let me tell y’all—that seemingly small act was powerful.
1/2
nostr:npub1nqzzvvr02rm8eqqamu6u403a584ljdtuh0uwdqzdl5maxjn880nss7838y Thank you for being a voice of reason and compassion in an unreasonable and cruel time.
I wrote this 11 years ago about Israel & Palestine. I'm deeply pained that it is just as relevant today.
Anyone who claims Hamas is acting "per Islam," is ignorant or lying. Prophet Muhammad's (sa) rules of war reject killing civilians for any reason—ever.

Count me in!
An appeals court has ordered a Black venture capital firm to stop grant apps supporting Black women founders b/c Fearless Fund—a right wing org—alleged racial discrimination for only helping Black women
•They wont pay Black people reparations for slavery

nostr:npub1u3tka63yynzpd40nryz2fsrw39tedrxgfjdxpdtwf4hsr90usxfskpc6ug This article is now dated, but so understand it’s still the case: wage theft is a bigger problem in the US than other forms of theft.

nostr:npub1hz7ser79fvvzs9h7s9gedhnw4564k9enld3lruzc22qwpamuqv0sqf26xr Yep. Conservatively $15B stolen annually. It's an atrocity enabled by politicians funded by corporations to look the other way.
Auto workers are demanding a 40% raise to match the 40% pay increase CEOs of the Detroit automakers got over the past 4 years.
CEOs are calling this absurd, but they couldn't be more wrong.
THIS IS A COMPROMISE. Why? Because worker's real wages have fallen 30% over the past 20 years. They're foregoing 16 years of wage theft for 4 of equity, and consistent equity going forward. That's basic justice.
Pay workers. Unionize workers. Tax billionaires. Save our economy.
I get Romney is retiring & doing his tell all book but—
1. We already knew all this. Him affirming it makes zero difference.
2. He's still in power. He can vote w/Dems & pass BBB, child tax credit, abolish filibuster, etc—but won't.
Talk is cheap. Let's see action for justice.

Huge win in Texas
Judge Jessica Mangrum has blocked a number of Texas’ abortion bans as they apply to dangerous pregnancy complications, stating that doctors cannot be punished for providing those procedures to pregnant people with certain complications.
Judge Mangrum stated that doctors cannot be prosecuted for using their own "good faith judgement.”
Trump threatens the POTUS, judges, & prosecutors that "I'M COMING AFTER YOU."
DeSantis threatens anyone labeled "deep state" that he will "slit their throats."
A MAGA country singer is touring on a song about lynching Black people.
This is what fascism looks like. This is GOP.

Yet another Trump Indictment.
Let's be clear. Trump was NOT indicted by Biden, Clinton, Pelosi, Soros, Big Bird, Target, Wokeness, Disney World, the pride flag, critical race theory, or Barbie. Trump was indicted by private citizens—as the US Constitution requires. Period.
Love the smell of due process on a Monday.
#[0] America already has a higher knife crime rate than Canada or the UK. So yeah, nice try. It's the easy access to guns.
