Prisoners freed, refugees already beginning their return, tearful reunions in the streets among long lost loved ones, celebrations at the possibility of a different future — and this state of genocide and apartheid, backed by the U.S., didn’t even wait a day to steal land and bomb and displace. Not even a day.
Situation in the State of Palestine:

Responding to the US Veto, Ambassador Majed Bamya tells the US Ambassador: “Maybe for some we have the wrong nationality, the wrong faith, the wrong skin color. But we are humans and we should be treated as such.”
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.
This is how you know the vote is important.
Biden is terrified of the world seeing that his genocidal foreign policy is not actually representative of what a rapidly growing number of Democrats want.
A vote like this is a key pressure point to force action. 🧵
Last month, the Biden-Harris admin gave Israel 30 *extra* days to start following the law. It didn't (and even made things worse). And the US did nothing.
Now the admin is pushing senators to vote against resolutions honoring US law that would disapprove of arms sales to Israel.
Harris campaigned w Liz fucking Cheney, on having most lethal military in the world, on building the wall, on big biz and fossil fuels. And yet centrists are trying to gaslight us into believing that it was woke that destroyed her candidacy god they truly want to drive us insane.
These 52 Democrats voted to give Trump the power to shut down any nonprofit he wants. The NAACP, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, no organization would be safe. Shameful.

“She bucked her Party’s leadership, because she refused to ignore the needs of her constituents — which in this case meant opposing a genocide.” https://t.co/k6dcZHWEuG
It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
What’s misleading this graphic is Trump didn’t add votes. He had 3 million fewer than ‘20. What this doesn’t show you is Harris got 14 million fewer votes than Biden did in ‘20. Because no compelling case beyond “not that guy” was made to show up for her.
