As this march kicked off under a large black banner with the word Hunger on it, it was stopped by police who asked if the marchers had the appropriate permits and then to disperse. To which someone yelled "To Hell with orders! We're Hungry!" https://twitter.com/wrkclasshistory/status/1482942016669593605

On #ThisWeekInFascism: antifascists turn up the heat against Patriot Front, destroying thousands of dollars worth of their materials, exposing their new Headquarters + confronting them in #Chicago. Also, J6 rallies big flop + much more. https://itsgoingdown.org/this-week-in-fascism-125/

we've been posting photos of proud boys that were publicly taken at protests in dc. Twitter has been censoring these tweets without warning or any way to appeal. Why is @twitter @twittersupport protecting proud boys who stormed the Capitol and came to attack the people of dc?

Neo-Nazis marching against abortion rights in #Chicago should come as a shock to no-one. From the Army of God's deadly attacks at the 1996 Olympics to the modern Alt-Right, white nationalists have a long + deadly history within the so-called pro-life movement.

Need to crack open the good ol'Arab Spring Documentation and start showing Colombia how to keep themselves connected without depending on their government communication channels.
Activists otg in Colombia want the world to know that things have not calmed down. They are just being censured. With the government continually shutting down phone & internet service in “trouble areas” & social media accounts being taken down.
Could you imagine keeping money for yourself that was meant to help others. 😔 terrible.
IF YOU HAD BAIL PAID FOR YOU BY A BAIL FUND, YOURE SUPPOSED TO SEND THEM THAT MONEY BACK SO THEY CAN POST OTHER PEOPLES BAIL.

An Asian woman was pushed in front of a train and killed yesterday in NYC.
A rabbi and worshippers were held at gunpoint in Texas.
Our destinies are tied and hate crimes like these are a persistent and chilling threat.
They're out. They're safe. This awful day ends with the hostages going home.
The healing that will be necessary is just beginning— for all those impacted and for all of us.
Keep checking in with one another. Keep taking care of one another.
I’m gutted to learn that my friend & interfaith colleague of 15 years, Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, is one of the hostages being held at the Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville. I have known him & his wife Adena Cytron-Walker for 15 years and consider them dear friends. -thread
Called my mom to check in. She works at a synagogue. She was still busy helping with their service’s live stream. It could’ve been anywhere. Any of us. It’s terrifying.
Praying for Beth Israel and the Colleyville Jewish community.
Our hearts are with the community members of Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas who are still facing danger. May God protect them and shelter them with peace.
“The love and support has to continue for all of us. When it comes to hatred and violence, we all must stand together.”
Powerful words from Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker of Congregation Beth Israel, currently being held hostage, after the shooting at Tree of Life three years ago. https://twitter.com/Plus61J/status/1482478152916119555
The Rabbi who wrote these words after the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting is currently being held hostage himself with 3 other worshippers at his synagogue in Texas.
“Too many times in Jewish history we have faced tragedies without love and support.”
Some good news — one hostage has been released from the synagogue.
[email protected]_Levin on msnbc just now: interfaith leaders including at least one imam are on the ground in Colleyville to provide support and deescalation however they can.
Grateful for the reminder that Jews aren’t alone as we pray for everyone’s safety. Fear & hate won’t divide us.
At 6:45 PM ET, as the sun sets in #Colleyville, TX - @aewerner and myself, along several other Jews, will be hosting a live Havdalah (end of Shabbat ritual) and gathering on Instagram Live.
Join us to be in community.
