BREAKING:
Ireland urges full support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), and calls for urgent action to uphold its mission:
“The situation in Gaza could not be more desperate, is an affront to humanity and cannot be allowed to continue a moment longer.”
—Irish PM 🇮🇪
As the Senate prepares to vote on blocking offensive weapons sales to Israel, let's remember:
Netanyahu has violated international & U.S. law, violating human rights and blocking humanitarian aid.
It is illegal for our government to provide him with more offensive weaponry.
US taxpayer-funded security assistance can't be a blank check — it must be used in line w/ our interests, values & laws.
The Netanyahu gvt is violating that principle & we should pause delivery of offensive weapons until it complies. Tune in as I explain: https://t.co/U9KnPF9oaG
Sen. Bernie Sanders:
"A lot of folks come to the floor to talk about human rights...but you cannot condemn human rights around the world and then turn a blind eye to what the US government is now funding in Israel. People will laugh in your face."
@SSG_MK_101_82@SenSanders Yes, arm those defending territorial integrity and cut off weapons being used to perpetrate territorial expansion and which are being used against innocent civilians.
Are you aware Israel's military protocols allow for the death of 300 civilians to kill a single 16-35 y.o. male?
I am holding a vote on the floor of the U.S. Senate to block the sale of offensive arms to Israel.
The extremist Netanyahu government is breaking U.S. and international law. Every Senator who believes in the rule of law should vote for these resolutions. https://t.co/2Nb1mTnN3l
The resolutions I am offering today are simple: It is against the law for the U.S. to provide weapons to any country that is violating human rights or blocking U.S. humanitarian aid.
That is precisely what Netanyahu is doing in his savage war in Gaza.
We must obey the law.
So, Russia can illegally invade a sovereign democratic European country, murder 1000s of Ukrainian civilians, then rope in North Korean soldiers to help them wage war, and the West’s correct response should be to.. *checks notes* … give Putin what he’s stolen?
Do f*ck off.
@CoreyKilpack@WalshFreedom I encourage you to do the math. Counting the entire population of the top 10 largest cities and metro areas of the US still doesn't come close to half the popular vote.
I thought this before, but then I did the math and I was wrong. I encourage you to do the same.
Now more than ever, it’s critical that we support and defend civil society. Join us in telling your reps to vote NO on H.R.9495 TODAY (3/3).

@ThiaBallerina Joe Biden is protecting an American ally using his power as president. Yesterday he set aside $ for manufacturing jobs in the Midwest, and today he is setting aside funds for disaster relief in FL, GA, and NC.
#Biden is doing what a president is supposed to do. His job.
We should be able to track a ballot just like we can track a package.
California already does this, but my Vote By Mail Tracking Act—which just passed the House—would add a barcode to each ballot nationwide, so every American can have confidence their vote is counted.
