Netanyahu declared me antisemitic for having the courage to speak out against the atrocities he's committed, yet, to this date I have never slurred any Jewish person or Palestinian. Both countries deserve peace, but peace can't be achieved as long as world leaders make war for profit.

300,000 Haitians legally living in the U.S. have officially lost their Temporary Protected Status this week. ICE is reportedly planning to target Haitian communities and fast-track deportations to Haiti, which is controlled by violent gangs and deep in crisis. Trump’s cruelty knows no bounds.
