List includes: Regent who used $1m in U-M funds to stalk pro-Palestine community members. A lawmaker who used an AIPAC bill to weaponize antisemitism to curtail anti-apartheid speech. An AG who said antisemitism kept her from attending a convention where we nominated a Jewish Dem to replace her.

BREAKING: Israel snatched an American teen from his West Bank home in the middle of the night — just days before his birthday and during his critical national exams. He's now been held for 3 months, with no charges. Netanyahu just came to the US for the *eighth* time since Trump took office.

Abdalkareem Issa Ahmed Safi has Texas roots but languishes in a notorious jail, one more victim of Benjamin Netanyahu’s cruel impunity. Donald Trump, meanwhile, is losing some of his most ardent fans.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Last year, Torani ripped off a small, women-owned business out of Colorado. Their R&D ordered bottles of their locally harvested pine syrup and created an ad campaign that literally matched the recipes and creative direction of DRAM. @kimseverson.bsky.social should look into THAT.

Soon the US Senate could vote on a resolution, introduced by @vanhollen.senate.gov, to invoke Section 502B of the Foreign Assistance Act, forcing the US government to review rampant Israeli human rights abuses in the West Bank, including its abuse of Palestinian children and killings of US citizens.

Love that @americanprogress.bsky.social's beloved board member, and Ghislaine Maxwell's childhood friend—Antony Blinken—continues to run defense for Netanyahu and his right wing regime. Literally just went on Ana Navarro's podcast and cried about, "From the river to the sea." Do not support CAP.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

"Does Israel have a right to exist" in the American political discourse is 99% of the time a motte-and-bailey question which leaves off the implicit addendum "...as a Jewish state"? The reason pro-Israel people leave it off is because they know they can't defend it on the merits.

I just can’t with Scott Galloway being a genocide denier as a family I’ve helped fundraise for in Gaza posts about strange chemicals being sprayed across the region.

An Instagram story post featuring two children in surgical masks sitting on a couch giving peace signs. Text above them reads This morning a strange and deadly smell filled the air and lasted for about six hours. Israel is spraying us with lethal and toxic gases.
They have tried every method of killing and
extermination to annihilate us.
