🚨BREAKING: Republicans just voted AGAINST my amendment to stop Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund from bailing out the convicted felons who assaulted cops on January 6th.

Beyond shameful.

The silence of Republicans as their president threatens to commit genocide is deafening.

War is not the answer.
We need peace.
Now.
Community note
The UN has repeatedly found war to be an answer:
1950- authorized military action to repel North Korea invasion of South Korea (leading to the Korean War under a UN Command).
1990–1991, Resolution 678 authorized "all necessary means" to expel Iraq from Kuwait

Children belong in school, not in war.
Yet, tens of thousands of boys and girls are being used as soldiers by armed forces and groups in conflict zones worldwide.
@UN works to help prevent the recruitment of children and support those released.

Words can be weapons.
The Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with hate speech.
