After 22 months of not speaking out against Israel's genocide, elected officials are finally opening their mouths. Apparently, more than 60,000 dead, bombs, snipings, and amputations without anesthesia can be ignored but starvation is a bridge too far. It is delusional to "demand that the Israeli

One day after sending this letter, @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov voted against @sanders.senate.gov joint resolutions S.J. 34 and 41 blocking the sale/export of bombs and rifles to Israel. How incongruous to call for more humanitarian aid and an end to the fighting, while

IT’S LONG PAST TIME FOR CWA TO TAKE ACTION FOR PALESTINE. That’s why rank and file members and delegates are organizing to ensure our union finally stands with Palestinian trade unions at the CWA Convention next month.

@aoc.bsky.social is out of step with DSA www.dsausa.org/statements/o...

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.

Secretary Rubio is planning to withhold 500 metric tons of vital food aid that could feed 1.5 million starving children… and then incinerate the food once it expires.

UNACCEPTABLE!

This is an active campaign to get the @nyscomptroller.bsky.social to stop investing the common retirement fund of state employees in Israeli occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Sign & share the petition. NY pols need to wake up. Where do you stand @drewwarshaw.bsky.social ?

“According to our staff the vast majority of [Palestine Refugees'] camps in the north [of the West Bank], has been all but destroyed,” tells UNRWA JulietteTouma to @al-jazeera-english.bsky.social

Palestinian activist and former Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil was released after three months in immigration detention, following a judge’s ruling to free him amid growing backlash against the Trump administration’s crackdown on Palestine solidarity campus protests.

they are being held in inhumane conditions, with only one hour of light per day and severe skin infections from bed bug infestations. This is not detention. It is hostage-taking.
