Pride, Palestine, and Pinkwashing. Don't get fooled by the co-optation of the queer liberation movement. Human rights issues are queer issues! 🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #pride (1/2)

As the IOF burns Palestinian refugees alive with US made bombs our politicians sit back in a gruesome silence. Right before our eyes Israel enacts a genocide supported by the US & President Joe Biden. @JoeBiden you have blood on your hands that can never be washed clean.

Here are the cops pulling the tarp from underneath protestors before they used their riot shields to “disperse” them. UH administration should not sit comfortably with the fact that they responded violently to student protestors calling for the end of genocide!

I spoke w/ Reyna, a pro-Palestine UH organizer, who said there were 2 arrests on campus this morning. The group's demands include divestment of ~$7 million in companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, & Lockheed Martin—& this protest was in leadup to a May 15 Board of Regents meeting

🚨ALL OUT FOR RAFAH🚨The people of Gaza, already displaced and forced into Rafah, are being backed into a corner. There has never been a more critical time to throw pure right against the war machine. All out for Rafah, escalate the Student Intifada 🇵🇸

Houston DSA is aware of the allegations against Pervez Agwan. Our leadership has met today, and our chapter will be holding an emergency meeting on Thursday. In the meantime, we have paused all activity with Agwan’s congressional campaign.

We stand in solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation, from students organizing university campuses, to workers standing up against the Israeli lobby, and all those fighting against US imperialism everywhere. Alongside @SJPHouston, we say NO GENOCIDE ON OUR DIME!

Alongside Palestinian solidarity orgs, we participated in a public banner drop over 59 as part of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, Nov 29th. Our solidarity is stronger than our imperialist aggressors! Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and F**K Henry Kissinger!

Houston DSA, @rice_sjp , @RepFletcher constituents & community members call on Fletcher to support an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Which side are you on, Fletcher? Will you remain complicit in funding genocide? Or will you stand with Palestinians & their struggle for freedom?

This was not unprovoked. For over 60 years, Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing, torture, bombings, and housing demolitions. Gaza is still under a blockade. As socialists, we must act. 3/5
