This is a horrifying situation. One point of clarification, however. There are several major nations, chief among them the US, that did not simply “fail” to stop it, but rather enabled and encouraged it through constant full-spectrum support for Israel’s war.

Just learning of Joan's death, a stalwart Black left feminist fighter for liberation: in court, in the streets, in long tedious mtgs. We were not in touch lately but we were in many trenches together over the decades.I remember her voice clearly & always will. Rest in power

Saddened to hear of the passing of Joan Gibbs, movement lawyer and radical voice of the LBGT community in NYC. I had the good fortune of knowing her as co-chair of the Brecht Forum during the 2000s-2010s.

AIPAC is lying to members of Congress.

They’re denying that Israel is blocking aid to starving Palestinians in Gaza.

That’s exactly why we must .

The New York Times coverage is straight up colonialist and racist. You cannot argue with this data. Amazing work. Absolutely damning.
