Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Israel’s devastating war, the institute said, had “created a once-in-a-century opportunity to rebuild Gaza.”
Tony Blair Institute staff worked alongside BCG on a project for postwar Gaza that ended up proposing a 'Trump Riviera', 'MBS ring' road and 'Elon Musk smart manufacturing zone'. Latest scoop from @stephenfoley and @PickardJE www.ft.com/content/0b1b...

This is really fascinating.
My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Last night a bunch of Republicans in the House were saying how awful this bill was.
Only took a couple hours, some merch, and a few words from Donald Trump, and they’re lining up to rip away health care from 17 MILLION people.
I’m sadly not surprised — but I am still outraged.
