What do you think will happen if you keep casually conflating American student protestors with Hamas and terrorist groups? Or in the case of some politicians, explicitly calling them Hamas and terrorists? You're putting a target on American kids. Dangerous, reckless, and wrong.

If the politicians/pundits who lined up to condemn Columbia pro-Palestine students for the past week do or say nothing about this, don’t condemn this, it’ll be further proof that they don’t actually care about hate or safety on campus. Only on silencing protests against Israel.

Agreed on all fronts.

There are videos coming out of Rafah today of beheaded babies. Actual beheaded babies that you can see for yourselves - not the beheaded babies that the Israeli authorities invented to justify their genocidal assault, or the ones that Biden falsely claimed to have seen pix of.

"These attacks are ridiculous" -- Rep. Robert Garcia responds to Marge Greene's theatrics by saying "this might be the most insane hearing I've attended"

I grew up in this district and if you told me when I was a kid that one day the list of people who could very well represent me would include so many "funny names" like mine, I would never have believed you. We don't deserve a seat at the table... we ARE the table. Let's go.

I love my black job 🖤

Great thread. Come for the Vance/couch breakdown, stay for the Imene Khelif double standard.

I want to cut through the noise and remind everyone that those who attend conventions are the strongest supporters of our party. The majority of attendees have been wearing ceasefire pins, keffiyehs, and/or Palestinian flags. It’s been beautiful and I need folks to remember that.

To use a hearing about fighting hate to spread hateful, anti-Arab bigotry is beyond the pale. Senator Kennedy should be ashamed.

"You should hide your head in a bag” a sitting Republican Senator to the leader of one of the most prominent and well respected Arab-American orgs in the country. Arab American Institute has done more for America than you ever have John Kennedy

Tonight, Missouri lynched another innocent Black man. Governor Parson had the responsibility to save this innocent life, and he didn’t. The NAACP was founded in 1909 in response to the barbaric lynching of Black people in America — we were founded exactly because of people like

That was a cataclysm. Electoral map wipeout. Senate D practical ceiling is now 52 seats. R's is 62. Time to rebuild the left. We are out of touch with the crisis of meaning/purpose fueling MAGA. We refuse to pick big fights. Our tent is too small. 1/ Some early thoughts:

Congress is working to pass a bill that would have a devastating, chilling effect on free speech and give the Trump administration power to strip tax-exempt status from nonprofits without due process or even a clear explanation (1/3).

My statement regarding today’s vote on offensive weapons transfers to Israel:

If you're angry because: -Inflation is high -Crime is rising -Migrants are invading -Fentanyl Overdoses are rising -The economy is bad The truth is: -Inflation isn't high, it is 2.6% -Crime has been falling for years and continues to fall -Border crossings are the lowest in

Excellent piece by Senator Senator Chris Van Hollen on Biden's failed policy in the Middle East and how he can, even now, take steps to remedy the failure: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…
