The Freedom Flotilla's Handala has just begun its journey to Gaza, aiming to break Israel’s siege.

This will be the memory that will keep the Gaza holocaust alive for a very long time. History made visible, tangible, unforgettable, and unforgivable for centuries to come!

.@vanhollen.senate.gov should be showered with praise for this. The "smart" insider DC advice at the time was to abandon Abrego Garcia. But Van Hollen fought for his constituent and helped get him home. And it turns out fighting back rather than misreading polls was politically smart too.
New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom.

Israel strikes a school shelter killing at least 25 people in the middle of the night. A girl is seen here attempting to escape the flames.
This is not "complicated". The German government supports the ones setting the flames.

A girl who survived an Israeli air strike on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza was interviewed moments after the attack, which killed members of her family.

This party was in power during most of the Gaza genocide. The foreign minister was from this party. They have facilitated and actively supported the bombing, the starving, the forced displacement and the total destruction that they now claim to be horrified by. The hypocrisy is off the charts

Israel's blockade of food and humanitarian aid entering Gaza has caused catastrophic mass starvation and death.
By continuing to supply Israel with military aid, the U.S. is complicit in this bloodbath.
There's no moral clarity in wreaking vengeance on innocent people.

Trump is proposing a $1 trillion military budget.
Roughly half of US defense spending goes to private military contractors, with investigations finding that these companies routinely price-gouge.
Oh, and the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
"Fiscal responsibility."
