On Nov 6 the Isreali military announces that it will not allow Palestinians to return to Northern Gaza. This is ethnic cleansing & forced displacement. These are war crimes. Joe Biden could stop funding this at any moment but even now he won't. Reckless.

Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says IDF
Brig Gen Itzik Cohen said in a briefing that few people now remain in the north of the Gaza Strip
Biden can still, and should, stop all arms to Netanyahu. Do it now. There never was a valid excuse to keep arming him -- not practical and not legal. And now with the election over, there's not even a political excuse. Stop funding genocide. Uphold Constitutional & Int'l Law.
If Harris wins WI, MI, & PA, then she wins the Presidency. A reminder to those who say "the popular vote will make the election controlled by only a few states," — that's the case. Abolish the Jim Crow white supremacist Electoral College & let 1 person truly equal 1 vote.
I need everyone to understand that the fight doesn't end today with a Trump loss, it begins today. Today is the first day of undoing decades of harm, and then affirmatively building institutions of justice for ALL people—here and abroad. Let's win today, let's breathe a sigh of relief, and then let's be ready to work relentlessly tomorrow. That's the only way forward.
Today after my flight, a United Airlines employee stopped me to say, “I want to say thank you Mr Rashid; for all the work you’re doing to speak up for justice. I follow you on instagram." If you're reading this, thank you for your kindness. I appreciate you looking out. In a week where MAGA extremists called me sand ni**er and now daily tell me to 'go back where I came from,' your gesture is a heartwarming reminder that many more good people exist. And for that, I am grateful. Thank you. ❤️✊🏽
The last 48 hours alone demonstrates how badly legacy media is failing us. There was more coverage of Biden's dumb comment calling people "garbage"—than there was combined coverage of Trump calling to assassinate Liz Cheney, Trump mimicking fellatio during a rally, multiple more women credibly accusing Trump of sexual assault, and Epstein recordings confirming Trump's close alliance to him. Legacy media's obsession with "both sides'ism" will be the death of democracy itself.
As you see MAGAs panic that women might vote for their own interests, a reminder that America has a child marriage epidemic enabled by the churches & conservative legislatures—and its even worse than you think. GOP was always about control of women.
America has a child marriage epidemic—and it's even worse than you think
With more than 300,000 documented child marriages since 2000, Republicans are fighting to keep it that way
2016 Vance: "Trump makes people I care about afraid. Immigrants, Muslims, etc. I find him reprehensible." 2024 Vance: Shariah law is taking over, immigrants are "out breeding" us, Muslims are forcing people to convert. I debunk his hate & hypocrisy here:
Debunking Joe Rogan & JD Vance Islamophobia
At a time of rising anti-Muslim hate crimes, Rogan and Vance doubled down on the exact bigotry and misinformation causing the violence

Watching MAGAs panic at the thought that women might vote opposite their husbands reminds me that after no fault divorce was legalized in 1970, female suicide rates dropped 20% The "strong 1950s family unit" that GOP is nostalgic about ignores record high female suicide, suffocating DV, & 0 female financial autonomy. GOP was always about control of women, and nothing about that has changed today.
