Branch Out for Justice

Every member of Congress can act to stop Netanyahu's genocidal campaign and occupation of Gaza.

It is time to pass my bill, the Block the Bombs Act, NOW to end the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel and save lives.

Trump's raw authoritarian power grab in DC is part of a growing national crisis. He's playing dictator in our nation's capital as a dress rehearsal as he pushes democracy to the brink.

This assault on freedom is exactly why we've fought for DC statehood and to give DC control of its National Guard.

Trump considering deploying up to 1,000 National Guard to D.C. The number of Guard who would be assigned is still in flux, the officials say, and most of the troops would likely be pulled from the D.C. National Guard.

Trump’s move to mobilize the National Guard against Americans in DC is another telltale sign of his authoritarian ambitions. But at some point signs of authoritarianism stop being signs and become symptoms of an autocratic regime. We’re far past that point now. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

A 12 hour live stream is high risk high reward campaigning that not every candidate can do. We love to see this.

Less than 24 hours ago, Doctors Without Borders released a report accusing Israel of “orchestrated killing” through their aid distribution.

This is only possible because of our tax dollars. Call your reps, join a protest, and DEMAND an Israeli arms embargo!

Establishment figures want to downplay progressive candidates, even though we're the ones providing real solutions.

If we want to move forward as a country, we need to prioritize people over big money and corporations. That's what I'm trying to do:

Thanks to the thousands of Jewish New Yorkers who gathered last night to shout No More!

No more to mass starvation & destruction of the people of Gaza. No more to Netanyahu’s sacrificing the hostages for his own gain. No more to U.S. support for bombing and occupation.

Netanyahu to propose full reoccupation of Gaza, Israeli media report The plan will involve a complete takeover of Gaza, but reportedly faces opposition from military chiefs.

The plan has always been the occupation of Gaza and the death and displacement of the Palestinian people.

He pursues this path even in the face of pressure from every direction to end his siege, negotiate the release of the hostages, & seek peace and safety for Israelis and Palestinians.

YEONSOO GO: 20-YEAR-OLD KOREAN AMERICAN PASTOR'S DAUGHTER AND PURDUE UNIVERSITY STUDENT WITH LEGAL VISA- ABDUCTED AND DETAINED BY ICE

TAE HEUNG "WILL" KIM: KOREAN AMERICAN PH.D. STUDENT & MEDICAL RESEARCHER AT TEXAS A&M, LAWFUL PERMANENT U.S. RESIDENT - ABDUCTED AND DETAINED BY ICE

A growing number of the new victims of Trump’s cruel, illegal ICE terror are young Asian Americans with LEGAL STATUS who have grown up their entire lives in this country and are being swept up for minor infractions or technicalities.

We need to redefine “national security” and what makes us safe.

Making sure people are fed and housed makes us safe.
Healthcare for all makes us safe.
Renewable energy and climate solutions make us safe.

Imagine if we funded these instead of mass kidnapping and swamp prisons.

Last week the world watched the #ClimateICJAO. The Pacific Youth that took the issue to the ICJ went from anxious to proud as the judges delivered real climate justice.

‘They roll right over’: Many Democrats call their party weak and ineffective, AP-NORC poll finds A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that many Democrats see their political party as “weak” or “ineffective.”

This shouldn’t be surprising. The only way to fight back is to… actually fight back.

If Democrats want to improve their approval rating (or far more importantly, make actual change), we need real leadership to put up real resistance to authoritarianism.

It's not immigrants increasing your rent, denying your healthcare claims, and increasing the cost of your groceries. It's corporations. It's billionaires. It's bought, corrupt politicians.

It's time we reject politics of division and fight together for policies that put working people first.

I’m running for Congress because we can’t just be the party that fights against Trump…what are we fighting for? When we take back power, then what? Business as usual? Nope. Time to clean house, get big money out of our politics, and finally pass bills that uplift the people.

People often tell me I’m one of the only young Jewish people they see advocating for Palestinian liberation. That always shocks me because there are so many of us loudly condemning this genocide. And more are speaking out every day.

KEEP. GOING.

Judges Are Ignoring the Rule of Law in Immigration Court, Greg Casar Says U.S. Rep. details what he saw in San Antonio this week

What I saw in a San Antonio immigration court was the most disturbing government proceeding I’ve ever seen in my 10 years in government.

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people.

The tide is turning.

Americans don't want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.

60,000 Gazans have been killed. 18,500 were children. These are their names. Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one per hour since the war began.

The words “killed before first birthday” appear more than 900 times in this list. Children killed playing or sleeping. Children who should have grown up.

Israel is starving and bombing Gaza. And the U.S. is complicit because we're sending those bombs and not demanding more aid.

Northwestern University eliminates more than 400 staff positions amid funding freeze Northwestern University has eliminated about 425 staff positions, the latest cost-cutting measure amid the Trump administration’s funding freeze.

Trump’s funding freeze for Northwestern is already devastating staff and research capabilities. That’s the point.

That’s why it’s more important than ever for Democrats to fight for educational institutions, their workers, and their students:

Opinion | They Saw Their Neighbors Taken Away by ICE. Then They Made a Plan.

“Though there have been some big anti-Trump marches this year, many of those most horrified by this administration are looking for more immediate, tangible ways to thwart it. The movement against ICE in Los Angeles… is part of a growing shift from symbolic protest to direct action.”

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world is if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them.

Two Israeli human rights groups say their country is committing genocide in Gaza It is the first time that Jewish-led organizations in Israel have made such accusations against the country during nearly 22 months of war.

85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

‘Handala’ was illegally boarded by Israel military in international waters, around 40 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza.

Before interception the 21 crew made this statement: if attacked they will join the global hunger strike for Gaza.

You can help safeguard the 'Handala' and its crew as they sail to Gaza - NOW. World governments have failed to uphold international law. They have failed Palestinians. They have let humanity down. Call them to account. We need people of the world to tag their foreign ministry accounts. Demand they offer protection and safe passage to their citizens aboard 'Handala' doing what Governments should be doing - delivering humanitarian aid and breaking Israel's illegal siege of Gaza.
