[AJP Action @AJPaction]

Last night's resounding victories by @DarializaforNY, @bradlander, @claireforny, and other pro-Palestine candidates underscore a transformative shift in American electoral politics.

Americans across the political spectrum are increasingly rejecting a foreign policy that is built on the dispossession of Palestinians and endless military intervention in the Middle East carried out in service of the Israeli government's agenda. Instead, we demand a foreign policy rooted in restraint, diplomacy, and a refusal to participate in Israel’s genocide actively.

Probably the biggest and busiest hospital in Gaza right now was just DIRECTLY HIT by the Israeli military. This atrocity comes days after Human Rights Watch published evidence of Israel’s litany of war crimes against Gaza’s hospitals and called on states to take urgent action.

Two Palestinians were killed and eight injured as Israeli forces bombed the surgical building inside Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The surgical unit at the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis is out of service now. The number of people who will die as a result will definitely increase.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

Journalist @abdallahatar is at the site. He reports the surgery department inside Nasser Medical Complex was directly targeted, and there are dead and injured

“This is not the first time, nor the second time, that hospitals have been directly targeted. The Israeli occupation forces are directly targeting hospitals. The surgical department inside Nasser Medical Complex was directly targeted, with the wounded, patients, and medical staff all inside of the complex,” he reports.

Al-Attar continues, “The fire has been raging in the building for more than half an hour, and Civil Defense has so far been unable to put the fire out.”

People can be heard shouting “Bring a stretcher”, and a mother screams “My son” as her child is carried out of the targeted room.

The FTC’s lawsuit against Amazon alleges that it rips off its small business sellers by forcing them to pay Amazon up to $.50 of every dollar they make on the site. I voted for that lawsuit as a commissioner. Now, the President is trying to fire me. Who wins from that?

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.

I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense

I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense.

I believe that homes are not slot machines for investors and Wall Street to extort working families out of every last dollar that they have… When your landlord jacks up your rent by half overnight or housing prices skyrocket because Wall Street treats our housing market like a casino, your government should fight for your ability to keep an affordable roof over your head.

@AJentleson @jonfavs @ezraklein @mattyglesias @AOC @mehdirhasan Biden avoided the media more than any modern president, while AMLO in Meico held daily, combative 3-hour press conferences that captivated Mexico. AMLO's mastery of the attention economy helped defy anti-incumbent trends.

🎶 If AIPAC's policies & politicians were popular, they wouldn't have to spend $100 million to convince voters while actively avoiding mentioning their "single issue" in TV ads 🎶

Sure, progressive groups can always refine strategy, but no one seriously believes Harris lost because of activists. She lost because enough voters -- angry over the cost of living and lack of material improvements under Biden -- opted for change over more of the status quo.

This video misleads. The Tulare County (CA) registrar did NOT say that they used Starlink for “voting systems” or for “ballot scanners” or for “uploading votes.” She did not specify, but was almost certainly referring to voter checkin computers (e-pollbooks), which connect to the internet. 1/
