My gosh.
Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians.
Today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi, of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — which also organized Gaza screenings of the matches.

A clean sweep for NYC progressives opposed to the US-funded Israeli genocide in Gaza.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

I was proud to endorse @ValdezAssembly who had a landslide victory & proud to fundraise for @bradlander who did as well. The progressive movement is crushing the establishment in NYC.

Some have criticized my supporting progressive insurgents. Tonight shows we have a new party.

[EL PAÍS América @elpais_america]

Trump dio su “total respaldo” al candidato de la ultraderecha, Abelardo de la Espriella. La carta de los demócratas atribuye “vínculos paramilitares” al aspirante, favorito en las encuestas, y cuestiona el origen de sus propiedades en Florida https://t.co/LLsEUSeLyT

[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

Me preocupa profundamente la injerencia descarada de altos funcionarios estadounidenses, incluido el presidente Trump, en las elecciones presidenciales de Colombia.

Insto a la administración Trump a respetar la soberanía de Colombia, examinar las graves acusaciones en torno al Abelardo De La Espriella y permitir que el pueblo colombiano elija libremente su propio futuro.

[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

I led my colleagues in opposing the shameless interference of senior U.S. officials, including President Trump, in Colombia’s presidential elections. 

We demand the Trump admin respect Colombia’s sovereignty, review serious allegations against Abelardo De La Espriella, and allow the Colombian people to choose their own future freely.

[Rep. Mark Pocan @RepMarkPocan]

Most people have been paying attention to the genocide in Gaza, but fewer people have been focusing on what's going on in the West Bank.

If we allow Israel to build these illegal settlements, the chance of a unified Palestine becomes much more difficult.

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

The U.S. is supporting Israel’s invasion, bombing, and mass displacement of the Lebanese people.

Americans don't want their tax dollars funding another illegal and devastating war.

I urge Congress to vote yes on @RepRashida's War Powers Resolution to put an end to it.

[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

Today's passage of the Iran War Powers Resolution is a historic and bipartisan rebuke of Trump's cruel and illegal war in Iran. The message from Congress is clear: end the war and stop using our tax dollars to commit atrocities overseas.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Secretary of State Rubio pressed on the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation and IDF murdering aid-seekers:

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Israel has used American-supplied munitions to kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians.

America is morally obligated to end support of Israel’s devastation of Gaza and its people. I’m cosponsoring the Block the Bombs Act to limit the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel.

[Dr. Adam Hamawy @HamawyForNJ]

New Jersey -- we made history tonight.

Healthcare not bombs.

Abolish ICE.

Unrig the economy.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Hamawy has won — meaning a doctor who treated the victims of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Gaza is headed to Congress.

He refused to leave his rotation, even as Israel surrounded the hospital and cut off the water supply, until a new rotation of doctors was allowed in

[AIPAC Tracker @TrackAIPAC]

Congratulations to @HamawyForNJ for securing the Democratic nomination in New Jersey's 12th district!

Standing against genocide is good policy and good politics! #NJ12

[Dr. Adam Hamawy @HamawyForNJ]

Excited to share that @Chuy4Congress is officially joining the team!

Congressman Garcia has long been a progressive champion and battle-tested fighter for the working-class.

I'm grateful to have earned his support.

[Congressman Chuy García @RepChuyGarcia]

In Cuba the Trump administration is following the same playbook they used for Venezuela: impose sanctions, starve the population, and manufacture the pretext for regime change.

We must oppose another illegal war before it starts.

[Pramila Jayapal @PramilaJayapal]

With @RepThomasMassie’s loss tonight, Congress will lose a real independent thinker who has had the guts to stand up for what he truly believes is right. The fact that AIPAC and Trump had to spend $29 million to defeat him shows what a legend he was in taking on illegal wars and the Epstein class. It’s a loss for America.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Massie lost his primary & Chris Rabb secured a big victory. The message is clear: if you take a stand against war, AIPAC, & the Epstein class, you have no place in the Trump coalition.

But the future of the Democratic Party that is done with the establishment is yours to shape.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.

Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us — one of home, tradition and memory over generations.

[IMEU Policy Project @imeupolicy]

Thank you @RepRashida for reintroducing your historic resolution to recognize the ongoing Nakba against Palestinians, now entering its 78th year.

The Nakba is not just a historical event, but an ongoing horror for Palestinians—and the U.S. has been complicit for decades.

Thank you to Representatives @RepChuyGarcia, @RepAOC, @repdeliaramirez, @RepHankJohnson, @RepSummerLee, @RepPressley, @RepBonnie, @Ilhan, @RepLSimon, @RepAlGreen, @RepAndreCarson, and @BettyMcCollum04 for your leadership in joining as original cosponsors.
