Just as speaking the truth about the Israeli military’s genocide of Palestinians, speaking up against ICE disappearing people in the US is an act of moral obligation. May we strengthen our resolve to defend life, dignity, and freedom wherever they are threatened.

As Jews and as people of conscience, we are called to step up and protect those being taken by ICE. That’s why we remain united—if ICE and the Trump administration come for one of us, they have to face us all.

This is a tired strategy: accuse journalists seeking response and more information of "stalking" and "harassment"... rather than engage even to simply offer a "no comment." People in power, especially taxpayer-funded ones, should have to answer questions: www.propublica.org/article/prop...

Our Reporters Reached Out for Comment. They Were Accused of Stalking and Intimidation.
Our journalists reach out to people they’re writing about to ensure fairness. But in this environment, they’ve found their efforts to do so are more likely to be vilified than appreciated.

She has the microphone. She has immunity. If her concern were really about the victims, names in The Epstein Files would be said out loud — on the House floor. Silence isn’t caution. It’s a choice.
