. Thank you @PattyMurray @RepDean @RepJayapal for demanding Justice & Accountability for the #Epstein Survivors!!! #ReleaseTheEpsteinTrumpFiles @TheJusticeDept @POTUS @FLOTUS

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

It's been two weeks since I connected Trump's Acting Attorney General with Epstein survivors and they haven't heard a peep from the DOJ. That's disgraceful.

Todd Blanche said he'd meet with them—and I will not let him off the hook.

Epstein survivors deserve justice.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

ICE's treatment of detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey is the latest in a long line of abuses we've seen across the country.

When @SenatorAndyKim stood up & called out these abuses, they pepper sprayed him.

Not another dime for this lawless agency.

. To my elected officials in WA State: Israel is destroying tiny Lebanon w/US funding. Please stop this madness by blocking the bombs that support Israel. Thank you @PattyMurray @MariaCantwell @RepJayapal ~ @seattletimes

[courtneybonneauimages @cbonneauimages]

This is what I woke up to today. The Israeli army has been relentlessly bombing the hills across from us for hours.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

The US-Iran deal should include Israel withdrawing from southern Lebanon because prolonged occupation is illegal, even for self-defense. That’s what the International Court of Justice ruled for Palestinian territory. The same applies to Lebanon. https://t.co/eSbOSkSVO1

@marklevinshow . Congratulations. You have shown that you buy into an utterly false narrative that, sadly, will only further make it harder for Israel to live in the neighborhood that is the Middle East. Israel is using its Gaza playbook to level another civilization. Clueless and pointless.

[ChoicesChoices @ChoicesChoices]

. @Israel has killed 9 Lebanese paramedics in the last few days and is systematically destroying Lebanon’s health sector. Along with the #IranDebacle incessant bombs of civilians w/ $$ approved by @GOP @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @SenateDems Healthcare workers are @NotATarget !☮️

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Protesters in Naples, Italy have unfurled a giant shroud bearing the names of 18,457 Palestinian children killed by Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

[United Nations @UN]

No matter where they occur, attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure are unacceptable, unjustifiable and must stop immediately.

Countries must respect the rules of war and protect civilians at all times.

They are #NotATarget.

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress.

There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous.

[The Lead CNN @TheLeadCNN]

Ali al-Samoudi, a Palestinian journalist released from an Israeli prison, described the dire conditions he says endured and witnessed while behind bars. He also told CNN’s Jeremy Diamond what it was like seeing himself in a mirror after his release and losing 130 pounds due to a lack of food while in custody.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Since the "ceasefire" the Netanyahu govt has steadily taken control of more territory in Gaza, squeezing civilians into tighter areas, pushing them toward the sea. 

Where the hell is the Trump Admin & its so-called “Board of Peace” amidst this land grab?

[B'Tselem בצלם بتسيلم @btselem]

Immediately after occupying East Jerusalem in 1967, Israel annexed about 70,000 dunam (1 dunam = 0.1 hectares) of the West Bank in violation of international law. Parts of this area were added to Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries.

Silwan’s Palestinian residents suffer from systemic neglect by the municipality: waste left to pile up, unpaved roads and poor street lighting. On top of that, residents also face daily violence at the hands of the police and Israeli settlers, designed to turn their lives into a never-ending nightmare

The ethnic cleansing in Silwan is a planned national project that has been pursued for years. The government, planning authorities, the judicial system and settler organizations all work together as a single apparatus to strip Palestinians of their land.

Israeli law is built on an organizing principle of advancing and entrenching Jewish supremacy in the area. It allows only Jews to claim property owned in East Jerusalem prior to 1948, while Palestinians are barred from doing so.

Israel uses national parks and archaeological sites as a pretext to take over land. These sites are operated in close cooperation with right-wing organizations such as Elad and Ateret Cohanim, whose sole purpose is to Judaize the area.

Establishing Jewish enclaves in the heart of the Palestinian community, such as in Sheikh Jarrah, in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City and in Silwan, is a strategy of displacement meant to shatter the Palestinian community’s contiguity.

While Palestinians suffer neglect and violence, settlers in Silwan, like those living in the City of David or Baten al-Hawa, enjoy modern services and infrastructure, paved access roads and proper street lighting.

The expulsion in Silwan is part of a policy of ethnic cleansing throughout the entire West Bank.

. Thank you for this work . How about connecting the dots to #genocide in Gaza & #lebanon

[Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell]

Indigenous people – especially women and girls – are being murdered or going missing at horrific and unacceptable rates. On May 5th, we remember the victims of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous People crisis and recognize the suffering of families and Native communities. We must demand justice and continue our work to get more law enforcement resources for tribes.

@commonspirit . It is too bad that @commonspirit launched such a colossally inept app that today—Day 3 of their (ahem) transition— pts still have hourlong wait times to no avail, & their website fails to admit you even after you have signed up. Epic fail! @seattletimes

@Reuters . Oh, I see. So when we act like pirates, it’s OK, but if Somalis practice it that’s not OK? Thanks for that clarification. Now I know that @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS are beyond rogue.

[ChoicesChoices @ChoicesChoices]

. How about this one Mr. President? Abandon your ballroom dream and stop funding piracy and forever wars and try focusing on fixing what’s wrong in your own country.

[Megatron @Megatron_ron]

NEW:

🇺🇸Trump says Seizing ships by rhe US navy is very profitable business and that the United States are the world biggest pirates now:

“It’s a very profitable business. We’re like pirates.”

Yes he said that

[Amnesty International USA @amnestyusa]

Israel continues to destroy civilian infrastructure as shown in this video, which captures the Israeli army destroying solar panels in southern Lebanon.

Amnesty International has previously documented extensive destruction by the Israeli military along Lebanon’s border before and after the November 2024 ceasefire. We called for reparations and the investigation into this for war crimes. So far, neither has appeared.

Since the more recent 2026 “ceasefire”, civilians in southern Lebanon’s border villages, many of whom are displaced, are continuing to witness their homes, land, and infrastructure destroyed.

Israel must stop the unlawful destruction of civilian property across southern Lebanon.

[United Nations @UN]

Attacks on journalists are attacks on freedom of expression.

More than ever, we need reliable sources of information and press freedom.
