@Harbpeace Hi, I’m an American lawyer, I’d like to help, can you please put me in touch W the family?

Mohammed is the cousin of Sayfollah Musallet, who was beaten to death by Israeli settlers in July. "He is just a child," his uncle tells me. Read the full story here: aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/31…

American teenager Mohammed Ibrahim has been held in Israeli jail for nearly six months and denied contact with his family. He has lost about one-third of his body weight and is suffering of scabies. His family fears he may die in detention.

@Starbucks you are really irredeemable. I was told today by a barrista, after I’d popped in thirsty from a neighborhood walk, that I had to purchase something to get a cup of water. Water! Get out of our neighborhoods.

@ezraklein I was surprised by your Rahm Emmanuel episode. It was less an interview and more of a soapbox for Rahm to share platitudes about what the working class needs. You barely asked any questions, barely pushed back on him at all. Why?

@RossGay18 loving book of delights so much having just read inciting joy, found myself hoping you’d have an entry on my bday (you did not!). Thanks for sharing your work!

Merry Christmas #GenocideJoe @JoeBiden

The Scream of Gaza by Tunisian artist Omar Esstar. If you haven't felt this deep in your soul for the last 80 days, check your humanity.💔🇵🇸

I know that Yoseph Haddad is lying or misinformed because I’m a Christian from Gaza. My family is sheltering in the Holy Family church, not from Hamas, but from Israeli airstrikes that murdered my cousin at St. Porphyrius. It wasn’t Hamas that murdered my great aunt Elham who only wanted to return home. She was sniped and left to bleed to death. The Red Cross wasn’t given permission to rescue her. And last week we discovered a tank had run her over and flattened her body. We don’t know if she was still alive when it happened. It wasn’t Hamas that murdered Nahida and Samar Anton, my family friends, when snipers shot them and seven others in the church courtyard. It wasn’t Hamas that confiscated our lands in 1948 when my grandfather’s home was destroyed by the Haganah. Hamas didn’t even exist until 39 YEARS after we were expelled from our homes and 20 YEARS after the military occupation of Gaza. It wasn’t Hamas that bulldozed my family’s orchards in 2004. It wasn’t Hamas that prevented my relatives from travelling to Bethlehem to pray at the Nativity, or Jerusalem to pray at the Holy Sepulchre for Easter. All my relatives and family friends who left Gaza did so because they couldn’t stand the suffocation under the illegal blockade. And the truth is, we’re part of the middle and upper-middle class of Gaza; we have the means to leave. And many have relatives in the “West” and in the Gulf states that they can go to. Many of the Muslim upper-middle class also left, just as they did when Zionist forces began their ethnic cleansing operations in December 1947. Despite that, I have relatives right now in the church who refuse to leave. Who will not let the cleansing of Palestine happen again to them. They say - proudly - we are Palestinians. We were born here, and we will do everything in our power to remain here. So stop speaking for us. Stop putting our lives at further risk. And stop participating in our persecution.

@RepBarragan @BringEyvinHome @RepKamlagerDove @POTUS @SenAlexPadilla @Senlaphonza @JoaquinCastrotx @RepAndyKimNJ Thank you for your advocacy on behalf of Eyvin, Rep Barragan!

Wonderful news for the holidays - Eyvin Hernandez is COMING HOME!! After his wrongful detention in Venezuela for almost 2 years, Eyvin will get to spend the holidays here in Los Angeles with his family & friends. Thank you @RepKamlagerDove, @POTUS, & all of the Members who never gave up hope!

@Senlaphonza @BringEyvinHome @SenAlexPadilla Thank you for your support, Senator Butler!

I'm delighted to hear that after nearly 2 yrs of being wrongfully detained in Venezuela, Eyvin Hernandez will finally be reunited with his family. A big thank you is owed to his family and friends, as well as my colleague @SenAlexPadilla for the relentless pursuit of his freedom.

@RepKamlagerDove @BringEyvinHome @JoaquinCastrotx @SenAlexPadilla @Senlaphonza @RepBarragan @RepYoungKim Thank you for your advocacy on behalf of Eyvin!!

I am overjoyed to welcome home my constituent, Eyvin Hernandez, who was wrongfully detained in Venezuela for almost 2 years. CA-37 is celebrating today, and I will continue to support him as he adjusts to life back home. Read my full statement here: tinyurl.com/ywxy2vhs

🚨News Flash: Eyvin Hernandez has officially landed on U.S. soil. He is at a miltary base in San Antonio, Texas. ✈️ Best Christmas gift for us! 🎄❤️😭🙏

Statement from ⁦@POTUS⁩ Joe Biden on Securing the Release of Americans Detained in #Venezuela whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

“All you think about when you’re in prison is how you didn’t appreciate being free while you were free. There’s no way to understand what it’s like to be in prison unjustly & not have any way out,” says Eyvin Hernandez minutes after landing on U.S. soil.

Absolute MUST WATCH!

George Washington University @GWtweets has rescinded its invitation for me to speak at its 2024 MLK event. I assume it’s because of my outspoken support for Free Palestine at a time students face increased repression on campus. Thank you @GWMSSC for extending the invite. 1/3

My parents are dying in Gaza and no one cares. My mom had one cup water in last 24 hours, she is trying to save the water for my sick dad, my dad is losing his breath, Everyone deserted them. They miraculously survived several artillery shells. I’m not sure why I’m tweeting

.@Meta’s reported suppression of Palestine-related content is deeply concerning. I'm pushing Mark Zuckerberg for answers on why even the Palestinian flag emoji was marked as "potentially offensive.”

I met with @BringEyvinHome to discuss the continued push to secure Eyvin's release from wrongful detention in Venezuela. This angel belongs back in the City of Angels. I will continue to work with my @HouseForeign colleagues & the @StateDept to reunite him with his loved ones.

Today I met with family and friends of Eyvin Hernandez, a public defender from LA who's been unlawfully detained by the Venezuelan government since March of 2022. I told them I will work tirelessly to keep the Administration focused on bringing Eyvin back home to his family.
