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.
Rep. Fine on How to Deal with Mainstream Muslims: “I don’t know how you make peace with those who seek your destruction, I think you destroy them first.” 🔥🔥🔥

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 appointment will increase the U.S. responsibility for securing and rebuilding Gaza,

Last month, 100 Members of the House called on PM Netanyahu to halt plans to demolish Umm Al-Kheir. Members who support democracy, the rule of law and security in Israel are watching Netanyahu closely to ensure his government does not illegally destroy homes and community centers

Presumed presidential candidate Gavin Newsom rejects AIPAC funding. 👀
GOV. @GavinNewsom tells @JDCocchiarella he’s saying NO to AIPAC: “I don’t take tobacco money, oil money, and I’ve never taken AIPAC money. There are certain absolutes that are the lines that have been drawn for decades for me.”

We're proud to announce our newest endorsement: @MelatKirosCO in #CO01! A barista & renter—who lost her job as a lawyer for defending pro-Palestine protests—Melat knows Denver's struggles because she's lived them. #CO01 needs a leader powered by courage, not corporations.

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

An Israeli attack killed two children in Gaza on Saturday, medics and relatives said, in violence that has persisted in the Palestinian enclave despite a fragile ceasefire.

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.

We must keep calling out those that cave to the Trump Admin, and the latest is Northwestern. As part of their "deal," NU will pay $75 million, stop vital research, renege on agreements with its students over the war in Gaza, and more. Throwing your students under the bus to

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

Agreed. Mohammed Ibrahim should be released, and the Trump Administration should be pressuring Israel on this.
Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months. He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten. America needs to secure his release NOW.

Israel is holding a 16-year-old U.S. citizen in isolation. @SecRubio: act NOW to free Mohammed Ibrahim—it's your responsibility to protect American citizens. I’m fighting like hell for Mohammed’s immediate release. https://t.co/e3Tq8SCHeT
