A good time to remind people that Chris Van Hollen is the only Member of Congress to have ever called for European states to sanction the President and Secretary of State, in this case specifically in response to their attempts to destroy the ICC in order to protect Israel.

Cory Booker tweet:

We expect the former chair to soon claim that a new chair has been elected. This will be false, and this late-night zoom call masquerading as a BK Dems exec committee meeting, like every prior step of the former chair’s attempt to cling to power, was an affront to the democratic values of our party

Macklemore just announced he’s donating the $1 million he made from Sheeran’s tour to 6 organizations to support Palestinians and he’s asking Robert Kraft to match it. This is just the first part announcing it.

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
