I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

The swing-district congressman has faced hard questions and small protests over the conflict. He addressed it in an interview with the Times Union.

Thanks to a generous donor, Abeer obtained a solar panel so she has solved the problem of charging and lighting. She was also able to get a room from her neighbor in exchange for providing light. While that is good news, Abeer and her family continue to struggle to survive under harsh conditions.

Kirsten Gillibrand (who's in charge of electing more Senate Democrats) insists "9 out of 10 Democrats are pro-Israel."
8% of Democrats support Israel's war on Gaza.
75% oppose sending more military aid to Israel.
63% think the US supports Israel too much.

After 21 months of some of the most heinous acts committed against a people since the Nazis, you want to continue to give these genocidal maniacs more money? That is a truly despicable position to take.
I see the misinformation machine is kicking up to support Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Israel amendment.
Advocates have a responsibility to be clear about what legislation does and doesn’t do. Her amendment did NOT cut off offensive aid to Israel. We shouldn’t pretend it does.
