RT @realStanVG: It would be wrong to think that today’s NBA, WNBA and MLB boycotts were about one shooting in one city. This is frustration and anger that after 400 years of racial oppression there has not been nearly enough change. How much longer will we tolerate this racial oppression?
The Seattle Mariners just decided not to play in their game tonight versus the San Diego Padres in protest of police brutality in this country. Both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants decided not to play in their game tonight for the same reason.

RT @StefanieLFox: There is no doubt @lsarsour is a visionary, tireless leader for our movements for justice. Her relentless and powerful work speaks for itself. The attacks on Linda say *nothing* about her and *everything* about the establishment of the Democratic party. https://t.co/kBIMAtPQN7
RT @MoveOn: .@lsarsour is a leader in the fight for justice for all of us. @andrewbatesnc's statement is unfortunate. Biden can support Israel without implying that critique of Israeli gov’t policy is antisemitic or condemning advocates for Palestinian rights. 1/2 https://t.co/QvK4Sa9C6v
RT @lsarsour: My existence is resistance. Unapologetically Palestinian American. Unapologetically Muslim American. Unapologetically from Brooklyn, New York. I wake up like this every day. It’s these identities and my work that has made me one of the best organizers in this country.

RT @YousefMunayyer: Few communities have been thrown under the bus more than Arab, Palestinian and Muslim Americans. Yet I can not think of a single person who has done more to get her community and many more engaged in politics like @lsarsour. Biden should leave the Islamophobia to Trump.
RT @rachelbtiven: I am disgusted and dismayed that the Biden campaign “condemns [the] views” of @lsarsour. Do they condemn caring for your neighbors, Jewish and non-Jewish? Do they condemn working for the dignity of every person? Because I know Linda, and that’s what she stands for. https://t.co/X8DbhZvVjm
RT @CraigCons: I have been a long time admirer & supporter of Linda Sarsour (@lsarsour). Her tireless work is both inspiring & necessary at this point in our nation’s history. I am disappointed that the Biden campaign smeared her. It is wrong. The Democrats need Linda today & in the future.
