As everyone is watching the Super Bowl, the United States and Israel are violently invading Rafah. The one place Palestinians were told to evacuate to with a dense population of 1.4 million people. A genocide is happening in this very moment. Do not ignore. Bear witness.

Don’t feel forced to vote for a “lesser of two evils.” As the U.S. and Israel continues its violence against Palestinians, we demand justice by voting Uncommitted in the Presidential Primary. Not another life, not with our tax dollars, not anymore! Free, Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Join us in Hyattsville on Mon April 29 for a panel discussion with local residents sharing their experiences advocating for Gaza over the past 6 months, and why an “Uncommitted” vote for president in Maryland’s Democratic primary on May 14 matters. RSVP: eventbrite.com/e/listen-to-ma…

Maryland must remember the violence we’ve seen in the past 8 months that our President has used our tax dollars to fund. Remember the violence used against protestors for standing up for justice. I voted Uncommitted and I hope more will join me.

Eid Mubarak… and Happy Fathers Day to those who celebrate. My heart is with the children of Palestine who have lost their fathers and fathers who have lost their children. #FreePalestine and #EndGenocide everywhere it exists.

Happy Juneteenth but remember that although today is “Freedom Day,” we still ain’t free until mass liberation. There’s so much work to be done. My people are still in cages because of discrimination in our legal system. Celebrate today but uprise tomorrow. Until liberation ✊🏾

Kenyans are standing on business. What’s happening in Kenya is an example of how we need to take our own liberation, not just demand it. Electoral politics are never going to save us. We are the ones who will set us free. We just have to be brave enough to do something.

How is that an organization that advocates for foreign interests and uses foreign money to advocate for a foreign country allowed to donate millions of dollars in dark money into our elections? Fuck AIPAC and fuck this fake ass democracy. This is not what democracy looks like.

It’s disgusting that my colleagues would support legislation to prohibit U.S. officials from even citing the Palestinian death toll. They want to erase the Palestinians who are living, and now they are trying to erase the Palestinians who are dead. This is genocide denial.

Progressive economic policies and pro-peace foreign policy are popular amongst working-class Black and brown voters. Less popular with more affluent suburban voters. Perhaps Democratic strategists shouldn’t be so quick to dismiss what Rep. Bowman stands for…

This isn’t a defeat. This is proof that our movement is growing stronger than ever. So strong that they’re organizing with special foreign interests to buy our elections to try and stop us. Aluta continua victoria ascerta! The struggle continues, victory is certain. 💜

Pretty sure insulting/dismissing voters - even if they’re annoying you, disrupting you, protesting you - in a key swing state isn’t the best way to win that state. Assuming that they *have* to vote for you, otherwise Trump will win, doesn’t work. Just ask Hillary Clinton 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Kamala continues to try and align anti-geno protestors w/everything but what we stand for. On 7/24 she said we were terrorist sympathizers hosting an anti-semitic hate rally, on 8/7 “we want Trump to win.” What we want is a ceasefire, land back and an end to the occupation!

In 2020 I was asked if I was going to be the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, I’m glad I said “No, I’m going to be the next *me*.” Harris is “fighting tirelessly” for ceasefire? This administration just approved an $18.8 sale of military arms to 🇮🇱. Is the leftist in the room with us? It’s sad.
