When George Floyd was killed, a precinct burned down, the world understood. 40,000 Palestinians are killed and we have cops celebrating “Arab pride” at the same precinct I was taken to today. From Eric Adams iftar, to permits, to nypd photo op events. Reject normalization.

My wrists are bruised my entire upper body is in severe pain. This is the second time they rip off my hijab while arresting me. When I asked to put it back on they covered my face with it and I couldn’t see anything while they yanked my arms and yelled at me to get up.

Today on the 3rd day of Eid the NYPD brutalized and arrested me and ripped of my hijab; with no warning. For protesting the genocide in Gaza. They refused to allow me to put my hijab back on. Please don’t post photos of me without my hijab on even if you try to block my hair.

.Sadiq Khan is totally wrong. Boycotts were crucial in ending apartheid in South Africa & are the only peaceful means to force the apartheid Israeli state to change its ways. I cannot vote for someone who does not support stopping arms sales to & BDS against genocidal Israel

For the record: India ABSTAINED from voting 'to cease the sale, transfer and diversion of arms, munitions and other military equipment to Israel'.

Can't wait for another Indian analysis that say India's positions at the UN are still pro-Palestine in nature.

Elizabeth Warren (along with Merkley, Van Hollen, Welch & Durbin) just voted for a bill that defunds UNRWA (the largest/most capable provider of humanitarian aid in Gaza) and gives Israel $3.8 billion in weapons, no strings attached.

Great breakdown but cringey to see Anderson Cooper say 'yes, we've seen this throughout' and yet his network has squashed and ignored those stories for 6 months. Also telling how only examples of violations Cooper can muster up are when the victims are non-Palestinians. Shameful.
