Graham Platner's primary accuser, Lyndsey Fifield, is a pathological liar (see below) whose main cause is Israel.
Make of that what what you will. I know one's views of the #BelieveWomen framework radically shifts based on the politics of the accused, but it's clearly relevant:
To my Democratic friends: If you are uncritically swallowing the uncorroborated word of the founder of “Ladies for Kavanaugh” then I’m sorry but you haven’t been paying attention to how the far right has operated over the last 20 years.
To correct the record: Rep. Espaillat did not reach out to me or my family when I was detained or during the months that followed. He only contacted my team nearly a year later, after Darializa publicly challenged him. As I've said before, it's unfortunate that he chose to prioritize AIPAC's interests over those of the people living in his own district.
Our government is supplying Israel with white phosphorus bombs that melt human flesh to the bone. These bombs are targeting civilians, schools, hospitals, and places of worship. The U.S. must end its complicity in these war crimes, and pass the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.
@EliLebowicz Name the US legislation that forbids boycotts of any of those other countries. Name the US politicians who recite “I stand with” any of those other countries. Name super pacs for any of those other countries who boast about funding/seating candidates who promote their interests.
@petersavodnik What data? If it’s not true, I want to know. Invite international, independent forensics investigators & journalists into Gaza, give them total, unsupervised access. Full transparency, won’t that validate your claims if they’re true? But Israel won’t allow it. Why is that?
@SpencerGuard If it’s so great, why isn’t the media trumpeting it from the rooftops? Why is it being done in the shadows, snuck into a larger bill? Almost no one knows about it.
This vote, to fuse the Israeli and US militaries, is happening right now in the Armed Services Committee.
@RoKhanna has introduced an amendment to the NDAA to block it. Watch here: https://t.co/PLo3eILQnk
This level of racism and cruelty is completely sociopathic and we have to live with this well funded regime of hate everyday and it solicits almost no media coverage and certainly not any sustained moral outrage or “Islamophobia crisis” narrative we are told we need to address.
NYC has more bodegas than Walmart has stores in the entire United States.
13,000+ bodegas.
4,600 Walmarts.
The bodega is the only retail format that survived Amazon, COVID, and rising rents.
Tell me where else in America you can get a sandwich, a phone charger, a lottery ticket, and life advice at 3 AM.

Mientras tanto, en EEUU, una abuela de 93 años, llamada Mary, que sigue trabajando en un cine AMC para pagar sus facturas, sin poderse jubilar, limpiando la basura que la gente deja atrás en las salas.
Este es el futuro del capitalismo, que trabajes hasta morir sin poder jubilarte para pagar las facturas de los seguros médicos privados.
Around 3:00 AM on June 2, approximately 10 Israeli soldiers raided the family home of 20-year-old American citizen Sama Safi in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank and took her into custody.
Safi is a second-year student and painter at Birzeit University. She was detained alongside three other female students—Natalie Abu Diya, Jolan Abu Awwad, and Laila Khalil—as part of a broader overnight sweep across the West Bank that resulted in at least 31 Palestinian detentions.
She is being held without formal charges. U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen has publicly condemned the arrest, noting that the Israeli government failed to inform her family or the U.S. Embassy of her location or the reasoning behind her abduction. Van Hollen and grassroots campaigns are demanding that the U.S. government secure her immediate release.
