I’ve followed Palestinian journalist Bisan cover the genocide from the beginning. This is the first action Bisan asks of me that I have extensive knowledge and experience in: STRIKE!

A global strike is called for Gaza. I will honor and participate in this action for GAZA!

Solidarity Forever! ✊🏾🇵🇸

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.

If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people.

Banksy’s latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it.

We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
