Yesterday we stood up at the White House asking President Biden to keep his promise and stop the bombs.
I spoke about how as a Jewish woman and as #DemocratsForHumanRights our safety is interlinked.
Muslims, Jews and Christians are all safer together.

It’s kind of cringe to see yourself as some sort of warrior while trying to strip our healthcare away

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package:
Overturn Citizens United
Ban corporate PACs and super PACs
Ban members of Congress from trading stocks
Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this corrupt system.

This is the way.
The deal between the United States & Iran underscores what we already knew: The Iran war was a huge blunder from the start & we are worse off as a result.
But one thing worse than this deal is not ending this stupid war.

There is now clear evidence that the Great Israeli Real Estate event had unlawful activity at it.
I've written to the Mayor of London to ask what he intends to do about it.
This needs to be escalated immediately.
ALT ALT TEXT: During Mayor's Question Time last week I asked you to put pressure on the government to ban the “unlawful” ‘Great Israeli Real Estate.’ You clarified that you had discussed the event with the Metropolitan Police Service and stated that any allegations of criminality relating to the potentially unlawful sale of property at the event would be assessed by the Met as part of an investigation. It has since come to light that materials handed out at the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event included properties in Ma'Ale Adumin and Givat Zeev in the West Bank and Ramat Eshkol and Givat HaMatos in East Jerusalem. These settlements are illegal under international law. This event should never have been allowed to happen in our city. There was substantial evidence ahead of the event that organisers were advertising properties in illegal settlements. More than 100 organisations, including human rights groups, as well as over 100 MPs called for the ‘Great Israeli Real Estate’ event t

Jewish Muslim Solidarity Forever
☪️✡️
Jun 15
This is what Jewish & Muslim solidarity looks like. Neighbors coming together around a vision of shared safety, dignity & peace. In NYC. In DC. In Israel & Palestine, and across the world.
We're united around a belief that a better world is possible — one in which we don’t compromise on anyone’s humanity. One in which we are not complicit in occupation & genocide. One in which everyone has a home they can afford, with no bombs falling on it, in a place where they are both safe and free.
A wholehearted thank you to @JFREJNYC, @IfNotNowOrg, @EmgageAction, Muslim Democratic Club of NYC, @israelispeaceny, @MaozInon, @AzizAbuSarah, Ruth Messinger, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Mohsen Mahdawi, @ShahanaFromBK, and of course @ZohranKMamdani. And to the hundreds of neighbors who joined us for our canvass this afternoon.

Kai, so proud of this!
Your courage shines as bright as a thousand Arizona Suns!!!!
I finally had a chance to ask @gregstantonaz face to face to renounce AIPAC and Israel’s election interference this week.
He refused to answer.
Arizona deserves a leader who will stand up for human rights and democracy, not one who runs away when the questions are tough.

Democrats abandoned the antiwar lane to Trump in 2024, enabling him to falsely present himself as the pro-peace candidate. We shouldn’t make that mistake again. nytimes.com/video/opinion/10… via @NYTOpinion

We want a nation for us all.
Yet some of my fellow Democrats are trying to figure out the right amount of boot to lick.
Let me be clear,
weaklings for good need our help more than our hate.
Human Rights honesty matters.
Reid knew:
power must help our lives.
Scalia died in February 2016. It took Obama a full month to nominate a replacement and then he used no leverage and barely lifted a finger for Garland; the party was more focused in the moment at making sure everyone understood how racist and sexist Bernie Sanders was.
Plenty of Obama aides were actually glad when Dems lost the senate in 2014 because they were sick of Harry Reid pushing Obama to be more assertive and fight more.
They lost the Senate in 2014 largely because of Obama’s capitulation to/obsession with austerity and reducing the deficit.
He constantly insisted he had no real power — Neera will probably respond by saying he had no power — which Trump has proved totally wrong.
And when RBG died in September 2020 Trump nominated ACB the next week. They play to win.
But sure, a 5 minute segment from @chrislhayes would’ve made the difference. (And I’m sure he did do a bunch actually.)

Powerful piece, highly recommend reading. Democrats need people like Platner if they are going to come to terms with the true nature of our country, with what we have done to people at home and abroad, and pull together the coalition needed to heal and reshape it.
“A tiny minority of Americans (6%) ever serve in the military. Of these, only 40% of veterans have ever deployed to a combat zone. And of those deployed, only about 10% participated in actual ground combat. I am one of those, and so is Platner. His pathology: a combination of traumatic stress, substance abuse, impulsive decision-making in the past, and deep anger at the moral injury he sustained wearing the cloth of this nation, is something this country ought to consider when it sends its young men and women to war. The question before Maine is not whether Graham Platner is perfect. The question is whether the United States Senate, the state of Maine, and the country as a whole would benefit from having his voice in the room when decisions are made. The answer is yes…”
“A democracy that insists on perfection will eventually find itself represented only by people skilled at hiding their flaws.”

Why does the “surging liberal” scare the Dem establishment? What’s wrong w/ taxing billionaires, healthcare as a right, or stopping abusive ICE? Or is it that he has the guts to call Israel out for its genocidal slaughter of Palestinians? Abdul El Sayed is MI’s best choice to win
