THREAD—It’d be a TERRIBLE idea for @JoeBiden to worsen the humanitarian catastrophe in Yemen by pushing a stronger War on Terror framework & reinstating Trump's terror designation for Yemen's Houthis. Here's a few reasons why.

#YemenCantWait

The US-backed, Saudi-led bombing & blockade of Yemen already kills one child in Yemen every 75 seconds. It is a catastrophic nightmare situation that @JoeBiden promised to stop fueling. It's just 1 of the many BASIC campaign promises he's failed to uphold

Ariel Koren, Google worker & Jewish Diaspora in Tech leader, tells @AymanM why 1,000+ @Google and @Amazon workers demand their employers cut Project Nimbus contract with the Israeli gov

Workers want their labor to uplift people—not power violence & apartheid

#NoTechForApartheid The Project Nimbus contract — which gives Google and Amazon minimal transparency and authority about how the Israeli government and military will use their services — alarms workers.

Tech companies have cut contracts that violate human rights before, and they can do it again.

BREAKING —Nearly 500 @Amazon & @Google workers just joined forces to demand *both* companies cut their contract to provide cloud services to Israel's apartheid gov & military

Read their joint letter in the @guardian here: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Here’s why this is HISTORIC ⬇️ This past summer — while the Israeli military leveled residential buildings and clinics in Gaza, killing 248 Palestinians (including over 60 children) that week alone — @Amazon & @Google announced their new cloud contract with the Israeli government: #ProjectNimbus

Shakoure remains in ICE detention bc DHS is withholding vital docs that could prove his citizenship & set him free

ICE's motivations are rooted in anti-Black Islamophobia & not much else

Join us to demand @NYGovCuomo pardon Shakoure ➡️ mpowerchange.org/CallShakoure

#FreeShakoure 1/4 Shakoure's case illustrates the effects of anti-Blackness, Islamophobia & xenophobia in our carceral system. Shakoure already served 24.5 years in prison for the felony that triggered his arrest

But a pardon from Cuomo could end court proceedings & set him free #FreeShakoure 2/4

BREAKING: It’s now official — Trump is expanding the Muslim Ban to cover 6 new countries, with a focus on targeting families. Here’s what we all need to know — please RT if you can. THREAD. #StandWithMuslims #NoMuslimBanEver #RepealTheBan Image @NILC @ZahraBilloo @lsarsour @CAIRNational @CAIRSFBA @aaaj_alc @AvidehNILC This expansion blocks immigration visa's from Eritrea, Nigeria, Burma, Kyrgyzstan and diversity visas from Sudan and Tanzania.

This would hurt families, blocking them from joining their children, spouses, or parents in the US

#AmazonVSImmigrants In light of news that ICE used facial recog software to mine state driver databases & track down immigrants—it's extra crucial to break down the relationship between ICE, @PalantirTech & @awscloud (which houses Rekognition, @Amazon's facial recog software) #AmazonVSImmigrants
