Jared Moskowitz was one of the only Democrats to give Donald Trump a blank check for war with Iran. Now Trump is threatening nuclear annihilation. Moskowitz abandoned his oath of office and constitutional duty. We must stop this madness and get pro-war Dems like Moskowitz out.

Jared Moskowitz: “What I would like to see…is a little tougher language coming from the Trump admin. I’m to the right of the JD Vance, Witkoff approach.” Now Trump and Vance are threatening nuclear annihilation. Is that the “tougher language” Jared has been hoping for?

@stephaniemlee.bsky.social Hi show, maybe you don't realize it, but the repeated comments about mall kiosks "being drug fronts" seems mighty bigoted. In my experience, many of these micro-shops are immigrant owned or managed. You're painting very broad & ugly strokes over a largely Brown population.

Convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried's Protect Our Future PAC spent $262,000 to elect Jared Moskowitz in the 2022 FL23 Democratic primary. An FTX director gave $40,000 more to Moskowitz's PAC. The choice in FL23 is clear: I'll stand up to crypto corruption. Moskowitz will not.

🚨 “The entire Israeli regime is complicit,” and the international community bears responsibility for “enabling the systemic torture” of Palestinians in Israel’s prison system, B’Tselem charges in Living Hell, its new report, which details life for Palestinians in Israel’s “network of torture camps.”

The leading Israeli human rights group charges that Israel’s ongoing “systemic, institutionalized policy of torture and abuse of Palestinian prisoners” is “approved and backed by the political system, the judicial system, the media and… the prison authorities themselves.”

B’Tselem stresses that outside actors bear responsibility, noting that “international actors have so far refrained from effectively intervening.”

The report details how this system operates in practice. Since October 2023, at least 84 Palestinians are known to have died in Israeli custody, with other estimates higher. Former detainees describe routine beatings, electric shocks, stress positions, sexual violence, starvation, and the deliberate denial of medical care. Severe overcrowding followed the doubling of the prison population, forcing inmates to sleep on floors without mattresses or blankets. Untreated disease, including widespread scabies, has led to amputations and deaths. Minors and women are among those subjected to abuse.

B’Tselem concludes that “given the gravity of these crimes, it is the duty of the international community to insist that Israel be held accountable and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.”B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم
@btselem
Israel has created a system of routine abuse against thousands of Palestinians in its prisons: severe violence, inhuman conditions, deliberate starvation, denial of medical care, humiliation and psychological abuse.

Some released prisoners recounted severe sexual violence: sexual assault, threats of sexual assault, forced stripping, serious injury to genitals from beating, and forced anal penetration.

B’Tselem reports the names of 84 Palestinians, including one minor, who died in Israeli prisons in the past two years as a result of torture, denial of medical care and inhuman conditions. There is cause for grave concern that the full figure is much higher.

Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir has boasted on TV and social media about the inhuman detention conditions for Palestinians. The Israel Prison Service has put the abuse on display, providing the media access to the facilities and video footage.

Although B’Tselem and other human rights organizations have reported on these torture camps in detail, with extensive local and international media coverage, the international community continues to grant the Israeli regime full immunity.

Incarceration is central to the Israeli apartheid regime’s system of repression and control. Israel has imprisoned more than 800,000 Palestinians over the years, many of them without trial or concrete charges.

The dehumanization and violence directed at Palestinians, and the dismantling of the Palestinian collective, are foundational to the Israeli regime. These foundations, which govern the treatment of Palestinian prisoners, are what enables the genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank.

Pres. Trump’s attacks on six lawmakers are an attempt to rebrand dissent as “sedition.” The Constitution’s framers inserted the word “only” into its treason clause for a reason, Yale law scholar Akhil Amar argues. They wanted to make it very hard for presidents to turn dissent into a crime. #Velshi
