It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.
Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.
But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

Israel has just denied Dr. Mimi Syed entry into Gaza for a medical mission, despite her two prior volunteer trips. She says barring foreign medical workers, in addition to foreign journalists, is intended to hide the truth about desperate conditions inside the Palestinian territory.

To me, when that happened and electeds across the Democratic party did not get in formation, it became crystal clear that they would not even be moved by a self-preservation instinct. So here we now are.
I know that you all are tired of me repeating myself about the Ras Baraka arrest being the rubicon crossing moment of this regime but I think I'm right about this.

It’s kind of strange to me that so many people/outlets are still evaluating the department on whether it “saved money” and not its actual goal of dismantling government infrastructure and personnel!

By spring 2024, the UN had already declared a famine in parts of Gaza. And USAID sent a memo to the Secretary of State that described Israeli interference with aid efforts, including killing aid workers, bombing hospitals and turning away trucks full of food and medicine.

Smalls, the only Black flotilla member, appears to be the only one who has been treated this way
Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody.
Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

I'll never forgive all these centrists who are only now realizing what is happening in Gaza is a genocide. They beat, arrested, and expelled students for protesting this last year. Shaming the left while they finally acknowledge the genocide is about soothing their own conscience.

The U.S. did this under Biden and it was a failure in every meaningful way, from execution to not being remotely enough. Also aid is sitting at the border waiting to be allowed in.
Israel will allow foreign countries to airdrop aid into Gaza, an Israeli security source says, as the country faces mounting backlash over a spiraling hunger crisis in the Palestinian enclave.
Israel says it will let foreign countries drop aid into Gaza as hunger crisis spirals
Airdrops into Gaza have previously been criticized as insufficient and impractical. The United Nations has called for an urgent ceasefire, though talks appeared Friday to have collapsed.
