BREAKING: Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa, speaking at the UN Conference on the Two-State Solution: “Hamas must lay down its arms. And we must work to secure the release of the hostages and end the suffering of the people of Gaza."
Calling Israeli society “the most evil on earth” is a disgusting act of dehumanization. You can’t dehumanize an entire population for the actions of a group—we, as Palestinians, know exactly what that feels like. After October 7th, the world rushed to dehumanize all of us…
Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952
Yesterday, at the invitation of my dear friend MK Naama Lazimi, I spoke as a Palestinian guest at a Knesset committee hearing on the potential for political and regional developments between Israel, the Saudis, and the Palestinians – focusing on how it could impact youth across…
It's bad that the White House is banning WSJ from the trip -- but I think the bigger scandal is that the president of the United States and his entourage are flying to Scotland on the public's dime so he can "open a new 18-hole golf course at his resort." theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
The White House said it would ban Wall Street Journal reporters from the press pool covering President Trump’s upcoming trip to Scotland, its latest attack on the media outlet for its recent report tying the president to Jeffrey Epstein. wapo.st/44Zli7A
So good to see.
Now in Tel Aviv: Thousands of Jews and Palestinians are marching together against the starvation in Gaza and for an immediate ceasefire deal to end the annihilation and return the hostages
Thank God.
Happening now in Tel Aviv: we march with the pictures of the children in Gaza who were starved to death by our government and our army. We cannot accept it. We call people to refuse the starvation, to refuse the killing, to refuse the annihilation.
BREAKING: Anti-Hamas protests have erupted again today in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians are taking to the streets right now in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, protesting against Hamas and demanding an end to the war. DOWN WITH HAMAS!
CBO's new estimate confirms: the Republican reconciliation law includes the largest #SNAP cut in history ($187B or ~20%). It will take food assistance away from more than 2M low-income ppl & cut food benefits for tens of millions more. Some states could even end SNAP entirely.
If a more moderate Democrat beats a progressive in the 2028 primary (as in 2016 and 2020), it will be tough to convince progressives to unite behind the nominee when the Democratic establishment won't rally behind @ZohranKMamdani after his convincing primary win.
Taxpayers spent nearly $1 million to buy and then incinerate food that could’ve fed 1.5 million hungry children for a week. All because @elonmusk fed USAID to the wood-chipper and @marcorubio refused to do anything about it, even though he told Congress he would.
The Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire theatlantic.com/health/archive…
The temporary $50 billion rural health fund in the Republican tax and spending bill gets distributed from 2026 to 2030. But, 63% of the Medicaid cuts hit after 2030.
Wow. Justice Sotomayor wrote a chilling dissent: “When the Executive publicly announces its intent to break the law, and then executes on that promise, it is the Judiciary's duty to check that lawlessness, not expedite it.” We should all be alarmed.
So the Supreme Court said Biden couldn't cancel student loans without congress but Trump can dismantle the entire fucking Department of Education?
Hundreds of Israelis holding photos of Palestinian children murdered by Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. Palestinian peace activists in Gaza holding photos of Israeli children murdered by Hamas on October 7th. Amid unbearable grief, they carry each other’s pain.
Yesterday I received a message from the head of Hamas’s negotiation team. The following two sentences are his most important message to the Israeli public: **"Israel has repeatedly rejected our proposal to release all Israeli hostages at once in exchange for ending the war. They…
Judges don’t wear masks. Sheriffs don’t wear masks. Marshals don’t wear masks. FBI agents don’t wear masks. Court officers don’t wear masks. Cops don’t wear masks. Only ICE agents.
Cops do not wear masks. They deal with the most dangerous elements in society. Why do ICE agents wear masks? What are they hiding?
What happens to the people who don't have highly placed Republican officials advocating on their behalf?
An Iranian mother detained by ICE has been released this week following advocacy from Republican House Majority Leader Steve Scalise. She had been living in the U.S. for 47 years, and her husband and daughter are both U.S. citizens. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/i…
Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K. This is inexcusable. She should resign.
BOOM. (Please help me spread this. @Columbia tried to smear my name. I wouldn’t let them. Today, they finally admitted that I hadn’t done anything wrong.)
