As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

Protesters detained, hit by tear gas near Dilley family detention facility
Omg! Local San Antonio news is at a protest in Dilley, Texas at the Family Prison where Liam Ramos is being held.
Y'all I'm crying so hard. These young people are so brave. I'm guessing most are from San Antonio.
Absolutely clear video proof that the cops were the only violent actors here.

THE TIMES OF ISRAEL
Several Palestinians reportedly wounded during settler attacks in southern West Bank
PAβs news agency says assailants stole 150 head of livestock from one village, as its health ministry reports that a man severely hurt by gunfire in clashes with IDF died of wounds
Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity.
These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt.
US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.
