After over 10 hours, I was so proud to see Anquam Mahamoud endorsed by acclimation! I have seen her work tirelessly over these last few weeks connecting with residents, hearing their concerns, and laying out her vision for representing the community. I can’t wait to serve with you!

So my iPhone is watching me watch it.

I want a flip phone. I’m so over this sadness rectangle.

A reminder that Israel's attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus two weeks ago was a calculated action to draw an Iranian military response, forcing the US to step in on Israel's side in a regional war.

What do you notice?
What do you wonder?

Biden must hold the line on this, no matter how much he feels pressure from those like AIPAC who have been trying to get the US to go to war with Iran for decades.

He should take it further, by saying if Israel responds on its own, the US will cut off aid. De-escalation now.

It’s is the duty of every human being on earth to demand peace.

No. More. War.

Tweeted this in October. Everyone should have seen this coming. End the violence now #Ceasefire

These lunatics are desperate to push us into a direct war with Iran. It's bloodthirsty, stupid, and not what any actual voters in this country want.

If you had called for a ceasefire and used American leverage to force Israel to end its war months ago, than Israel would not have been emboldened to assassinate the Iranian general two weeks ago, and Iran would not feel pressure to respond.

Instead you kept giving Israel bombs.

Can they also intercept the countless Israeli airstrikes killing Palestinian civilians in Gaza?

I can’t believe this is still up for debate. But we have reached FAMINE in Gaza.

According to Oxfam, the average daily caloric intake in Gaza today is only 250 calories.

This. Must. Stop.

Anyone of good conscience must speak out and act. That includes President Biden.

This is horrible. Any attack on a child is horrific.

Just holding my children really close and praying (I’m not religious, but I dunno what else to call it) for a ceasefire.

This violence is madness. It’s not making *anyone* safer.

We keep each other safe by keeping everyone safe. By getting everyone what they need.

This report by Arwa Damon from Gaza is gutting. This war is a moral, strategic and humanitarian disaster. Hamas will not be eradicated. More fighting will not make Israel safer. The only sane path forward is a hostage release and ceasefire deal. newlinesmag.com/spotlight/gaza…

American taxpayers are paying for both.

I sure as hell hope that if my father committed crimes, no one would use that to justify killing me and certainly not my *children*.

I repeat, killing children, is never, ever, ever justified.
