Just got my dissertation from the printer in prep for my defense. "A Tragedy of Catastrophic Proportions: The US and the Palestinian Nakba, 1947-1949." 559 pages of mostly never before published material showing the US knew in detail about Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

This is perhaps the most appalling statement from a member of Congress since I have been here. He is reveling in bigotry, confident of his party's support.

Israel has killed 249 journalists in the last 2 years. That's more than were killed in WWII & the Vietnam War put together. A Vermonter, Dylan Collins, was wounded in one of these attacks, which killed another reporter. This war against journalists must be investigated & ended.

12 Palestinians in Gaza are missing or dead after floods & strong winds battered the makeshift tents of 1.5 million people displaced from home. This isn't a natural tragedy--it's the result of Israel's ongoing genocide, which includes not allowing housing materials & equipment.

Heavy rains from storm Byron flooded streets and drenched tent encampments in Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians are trying to seek shelter. In western Gaza City, near the port, emergency crews struggled to drain the floods as displaced Palestinians

Trump is appointing a US general to forcibly disarm Palestinians to facilitate Israel's genocide in Gaza. This is unconstitutional: Congress didn't declare war against the Palestinian people. America First? Hardly. More like Israel First.

The IDF reportedly killed 2 kids getting firewood for their wheelchair-bound father. 300+ Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire began. We still need the Block the Bombs Act to hold the IDF accountable and push for adherence to the ceasefire. https://t.co/5JfSDk2hrz

Yet pro-genocide donors are demanding that Democrats not call it a genocide and many are listening. Many still don't understand how disconnected they are with the Dem base.

77% of Democratic voters say Israel is committing genocide. 75% want to cut off weapons to Israel. The choice for Democratic leadership should be obvious: it’s time to listen to their voters, not the Republican billionaires who fund AIPAC.

Thank you @Rep_Grijalva for becoming the 58th cosponsor of the Block the Bombs Act. There is no ceasefire. Israel continues to kill Palestinians every day with US weapons. Tell your Member of Congress to block Trump's weapons giveaways to Israel: https://t.co/5QZQh11PtP
