Shameful.
The Biden Admin can no longer reconcile their professed concern for Palestinians and human rights while also single-handedly vetoing the UN’s call for ceasefire and sidestepping the entire US Congress to unconditionally back the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.
61% of Americans support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
76% of Democrats.
57% of Independents.
49% of Republicans.
But only… 11% of Congress has called for a ceasefire.

Russia's Supreme Court outlawed the "LGBTQ movement" because it's considered an "extremist organization" in the country. Now they're raiding LGBTQ spaces. I strongly condemn this violation of basic human rights. It's time to pass the International Human Rights Defense Act.
At a time when some 16,000 Palestinians have been killed in the last 2 months, two-thirds women and children, & 1.8 million displaced from their homes, NO. I don't think it's a good idea to hand another $10 billion to Israel's right-wing extremist government no strings attached.
I reiterate my call for a sustained humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, the unconditional & immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded & sustained humanitarian aid flow to meet the needs of the people throughout the Gaza Strip.
I deeply regret that military operations have started again in Gaza.
I still hope that it will be possible to renew the pause that was established.
The return to hostilities only shows how important it is to have a true humanitarian ceasefire.

On #TransDayOfRemembrance#TDOR, we mourn the 321 known trans siblings lost this year and all those over the decades whose light has been put out too soon.
And we share this message with our community: you're beautiful, and we love you.

We started out with 13 members on our Ceasefire Now Resolution when we introduced H.Res 786 one month ago. Every day, our movement for peace grows stronger #CeasefireNow.
I am deeply disturbed by the horrible situation and dramatic loss of life in several hospitals in Gaza.
In the name of humanity, I call for an immediate humanitarian cease fire.
We're teaching children that democracy is the best form of government, yet it's failing to stop them from getting slaughtered in school. If we can’t demonstrate that our democracy can ensure their safety, we risk future generations choosing a non democratic form of government under the promise of keeping them safe.

These are some of my brave colleagues leading the fight for a #CeasefireNow in the halls of Congress. Proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them every day as we call for peace and humanity 💜
I hate, hate, hate this bizarre premise that we must prove to the Supreme Court that there's a historical basis for a law. It's anathema to being a country that learns, grows, and perfects its union.
I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words.
I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.
