It is a constant source of heartbreak to imagine what our homeland could have looked like were it not for the constant savagery of Israel. I’m Lebanese, Palestinian, and my heart is in Syria - is there anything Israel isn’t willing to destroy?

54 years of the brutal Assad regime and Israel found itself with an ideal neighbour. Now that Syria has the potential for any form of democracy Israel wants to make sure there can be no functional state left. To have Israel as your neighbour is a curse I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemies.

Tonight we’re voting on a Republican budget that would destroy Medicaid and give $4.5 trillion in tax cuts to billionaires. In my district, 164,149 Minnesotans are at risk of losing their coverage all while President Musk gives tax breaks to his billionaire friends. Hell NO.

Israel has arrested a large number of Palestinian women and children since October 7th, 2023 – many have never been charged, let alone tried for a crime.

Yesterday, I reconnected with an old college acquaintance from Gaza. I asked how his family was doing. There was a brief pause. Then, in a quiet voice, he said, “I’m okay… but my wife and babies were killed. Our home was destroyed.” I was stunned. I didn’t know what to say.

Relatedly, reporters should cover how Elon abused his cozy connection w/Jim Jordan. Tell the story of GARM, which had the audacity to not want its content to show up alongside hateful garbage, so Congress subpoenaed and Elon sued. Supporting freedom of association is part of supporting free speech.

I used to live in a country with state-controlled media. Though its purpose was to show the dictator only in a positive light, the effect was the opposite: the public (except for loyalists) were naturally skeptical of anything that came out of it, and assumed to opposite was true.

This is not an I-told-you-so. It's an invitation. There's still time to build the solidarity required to stop this onslaught. A start would be connecting the dots between Trump's willingness to ignore U.S. courts and the bipartisan, decades-long support for Israel's shredding of international law.
