Today and every day, we recognize and honor female political prisoners across the globe, who've given their freedom in the name of truth and justice. #FreeTheWomen#LibresLasQueremos@feministforpol
Palestinian activist & lawmaker Khalida Jarrar has been under Israeli administrative detention since Oct 2019.
There are no charges against her. There has been no trial.
Can you imagine facing 20 years in prison for advocating for women’s rights?
That’s what’s happened to Saudi activist Sama Badawi, who's been imprisoned by the Saudi regime since 2018. We stand in solidarity with women political prisoners today & every day. #FreeTheWomen
In 2018, Nasrin Sotoudeh was arrested and sentenced to decades in prison for defending women who challenged Iran's mandatory hijab law.
We stand with @NSotoudeh as she bravely continues to advocate for justice, freedom, and equality. #FreeTheWomen
@NSotoudeh "I obeyed my conscience rather than obeyed the law.”
Ana Belén has been incarcerated by the US for 20 years for alleged espionage & her work against imperialist US policy towards Cuba. Join us in the call to #FreeTheWomen. #LibresLasQueremos
Milagro Sala, Indigenous activist and leader of the Tupac Amaru Neighborhood Association in Argentina’s Jujuy province, has been illegally imprisoned for five years by the conservative government under alleged corruption charges. Free Milagro! #LibresLasQueremos

During his #COVID19 press conference, Trump announced that he's deploying the Navy to #Venezuela. Wait, what? What's #coronavirus got to do with Venezuela?
Trump's justification for the naval deployment is cocaine trafficking. But guess what?? #Venezuela doesn't even produce cocaine! This is just another one of Trump's attempts to #WagTheDog. Check out this map of maritime drug routes. 👇👇👇
Let's take a further look at this map, shall we? #Venezuela is barely a blip on the map.
If Trump's excuse for deploying ships was truly about drugs, then why isn't the US imposing sanctions & threatening war on Colombia? #WagTheDog #HandOffVenezuela
Baby Trump has arrived! Come visit our president in his true form all day on the National Mall, right next to the World War II Memorial, and join us from 2-6pm for our rally & other activities #BabyTrumpBlimp
Our Trump tweeting on a toilet has joined Baby Trump Blimp on the mall!
Trump on a toilet says he’s a very stable genius, among other things. We say a stable genius wouldn’t have us on the brink of war with Iran
(1/X) Let’s talk about the shameful op-ed @thehill published on Sunday by @RepTipton (a climate change-denying, anti-abortion homophobe) smearing the peace activists outside the Venezuelan embassy in DC. So many lies we’re going to need a whole thread: thehill.com/blogs/congress…
@thehill@RepTipton (2/X) We’re legal tenants of the building with permission from the democratically-elected, UN-recognized Venezuelan government. No matter how many times pro-coup politicians claim we are 'squatting,' we were given the keys by the representatives of the legitimate government.
@thehill@RepTipton (3/X) Our 'ties' to the govts of Cuba & Venezuela were created by an opposition smear campaign against @medeabenjamin that claimed she had been paid millions by Maduro (though they haven’t decided if it’s $15M or $26M). Shame on @RepTipton for regurgitating blatant propaganda.
This veteran for peace was disgusted when he saw the video of the @SecretService slamming @VFPNational President Gerry Condon’s face into the ground, and then decided to come support the Embassy Protection Collective and to resist US imperialism here in DC. #HandsOffVenezuela
Sportswear manufacturer @PUMA is the main sponsor for the Israeli Football Association (IFA). The IFA has football clubs in illegal Israeli settlements, where trainings and matches take place on stolen Palestinian land. #BDScodepink.org/puma
@PUMA For Palestinians living under military occupation, even the simple act of engaging in sports becomes a dangerous activity and a political struggle. #BDScodepink.org/puma
@PUMA On 7/22/09, Israeli soldiers arrested Palestinian football player Mahmoud Sarsak as he tried to cross from Gaza to the West Bank for a match. Despite unsubstantiated or proven evidence, he was accused of being a "terrorist" and imprisoned for three years. #BDS
