Democrats need to listen to their communities, not big money interests. They need to prioritize our wallets first, solve problems, and be loud. St. Louis, I’m running for Congress because the work is not finished. ➡️ Donate to the campaign: https://t.co/9T0EkpX3yj

No one should lose a child to violence. I was deeply impacted by the Palestinian American fathers who met with me to talk about their children who were violently killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The US has an obligation to urgently investigate the murders of US

Mohammed Ibrahim, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, has been held by the Israeli military for 8 months without trial. U.S. lawmakers are calling for his release. “We had so much trust in our blue passport,” his sister said. “We thought it could protect us.” --> https://t.co/FY43V5bVyM

Israel's forced starvation campaign against Palestinians in Gaza means that people often face extremely crowded conditions trying to access what little food is available. 10-year-old Ahmed suffered burns from hot lentils at a takiya, and he misses fresh fruits and vegetables.

What the Trump admin is doing to Mahmoud Khalil — disappearing him to an ICE facility because they didn’t like what he had to say — is unconstitutional, full stop. Silencing free speech is the playbook of authoritarians and dictators. Every single American should be outraged.

Mahmoud Khalil’s wife told me that the public outcry over his detention matters. “He has access to a TV at the detention center,” said Abdalla, who has received calls from her husband since his arrest. “He can see all the support.” w/ @SusanSvrluga https://t.co/Caj6fvyMPY

Trump wants to deport Khalil, calling him a threat to America for his role in protests against the Israel-Gaza war. Some say that unmasked, he was an easy target.

This is the arrest of #MahmoudKhalil - by officers who wouldn’t give their names or identify their service to his wife, who is a U.S. citizen. We ask his lawyer @baparkr: is this legal? And how does he plan to challenge his client’s deportation in court?

In new filing, Mahmoud Khalil urges court to protect his First Amendment rights. The amended petition argues that his detention violates his constitutional rights, including free speech and due process, and goes beyond the government’s legal authority. https://t.co/byyzH0hDqW

A determination by @SecRubio is the sole justification for trying to deport @ColumbiaSIPA student #MahmoudKhalil, docs show. Legal experts warn that this provision could be exploited to pursue the deportation of anyone deemed a threat to Trump's foreign policy agenda.
