I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

What’s most clear to me tonight is that this is just the beginning, that Americans across this country, no matter their title or party, are ready to be heard.

I believe that history will show we rose to meet this moment.

It will show we did not let the chaos and division go unanswered.

It will show that when our president chose to spread lies and sow fear, we chose to come together, to work together, and to rise together.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

It is disgusting that Members of Congress benefit financially when they vote to pass more funding for war. We need to ban Members of Congress and their families from owning stock in war manufacturing.

This is corruption. They should not be able to profit off death.

@AskSpotifyStars @spotifycares I pay for spotify by earning points on Road Rewards. When I haven't earned enough rewards, Spotify charges my credit card. I don't want to be charged. How can i downgrade from premium and not be charged and just have premium when I earn rewards?

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

Thousands of kids in Gaza are being denied polio vaccines—and some are already getting sick.

We sent a letter to @SecBlinken and @SecDef demanding they push for a medical truce to stop this preventable outbreak before it spirals even further.

This is NOT what America is about. America is about *opens history book*

uh oh

*Frantically starts flipping though pages*

uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh

Democrats: “of course I’m willing to vote for genocide. All that matters is that we beat Donald Trump.”

But you didn’t beat Donald Trump.

All you did was normalize genocide and let everyone know genocide wasn’t a deal breaker for you.

And in exchange you got nothing.

For the millionth time, it’s not “despite US warning”—the “warning” is fake, it’s liberal PR. It’s not real. Israel is starving Palestinians WITH the US, the US is an **active participant in the starvation campaign**, not a powerless humanitarian third party simply being ignored

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

FOLKS— please lift your heads above the bullshittery of the US presidential election & recognize that the basic infrastructure is collapsing around you

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Nothing matters more than ending US-Israel’s assault on Palestine, Libya & Lebanon right now.

The idea that we have to ignore the urgency of this for the sake of an unnecessary, unconstitutional election is not real.

10/10 on political theater but reality transcends politics 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The US empire is a jumbo jet,

flying 1500ft in the air,

dropping bombs nonstop on the world’s poorest people,

with several individuals wrestling for control of the pilot seat,

while we’re the passengers in the back, locked out of the cockpit, trying to break down the door.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I can’t vote for Harris-Walz unless Biden-Harris ceases its assault on Gaza & the West Bank 🤷🏾‍♀️

This is just me. I’m only one voter. Of at least 700K+ nationwide.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The US govt, more specifically Biden himself, has spent the past year DIRECTLY SUPPLYING WEAPONS FOR A GENOCIDE.

I’m sorry, folks. There’s just no way to mask the smell.

There’s no bigger crime than what the whole world is witnessing Biden & Netanyahu doing every single day

[Saul @saaaauuull]

Good morning from Chicago, a city with 85,000 Palestinians, none of whom are welcome on the DNC stage

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Again— 10/10 on production, stagecraft, lighting, speeches, wardrobe, hair & makeup, graphics, music… a top notch show reflecting a campaign flush with cash. Yes.

But Democrats have yet to address the genocide that was begun & is still being carried out by their own POTUS

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

The Biden-Harris Admin’s genocide against Palestine

& the continued silencing of righteous, public dissent, even at the DNC,

undercuts the ENTIRE platform & argument for electing Democrats 🤷🏾‍♀️

Still.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Genocide is the most extreme form of racist violence,

the most extreme form of state-sponsored violence,

the furthest extreme from anything resembling democracy or human rights.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

I’m speaking up precisely because I’m a Black American

Black American history & culture is constantly used as a prop by the US bipartisan white power structure

to sell everyone on the idea that the policies & practices of the US govt are somehow not racist

when it’s GENOCIDE

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

🇺🇸👨‍💼👩‍💼: “The genocide will continue as planned. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy these musical performances as you await your specific religion and ethnicity to be called for elimination.”

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Reporters are being briefed, it seems, that the DNC accepted Dem state Rep @Ruwa4Georgia as a Palestinian speaker for tonight on the stage but @uncommittedmvmt turned her down. That is simply not true. It’s a lie. Being told, I assume, by DNC spinners now on the defensive. Uncommitted are the ones who pitched her! And there’s still time for the @DNC to put @Ruwa4Georgia on stage tonight for two mins. If they have time and space for a former Republican congressman, and for Israeli family members of a hostage, they have time and space for an elected Palestinian Democratic lawmaker. Anything else is straight up racism and erasure.
