I’m proud to announce that we’ve just built another school in Gaza that will be open for 500 more students at the start of the new school year in September. Our schools are 100% free. We also provide books, supplies, and uniforms, as well as psychological and nutritional support.

If Jasmine had wanted to remain in her seat, she would’ve ran for re-election. She thought she had the senate primary locked down and forfeited her still blue seat. (Yes, she still would’ve won reelection).

But her real focus has always been herself.

You and Lindsey Graham worked together to arm and fund a genocide. My prayers are with the Palestinian families you destroyed when you consistently voted to send weapons to Israel.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Today, a record 187 Members of Congress joined me and @repdeliaramirez to vote to end U.S. support for the Israeli government's ethnic cleansing campaign in Lebanon. Our anti-war movement is growing—keep speaking out. We must keep fighting to save lives.

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

Kinda feel like being a slave owner absolutely negates whatever “greatness” you’re talking about. Call me crazy, but I think anyone who holds human beings as property is completely irredeemable.

Joe Biden shouldn't just be booed.

He should be arrested and charged with crimes against humanity.

[Jamarrius @YungxJayy]

I already know the inevitable “He's not president anymore, go protest Trump” is coming, but let’s not act like this man isn’t the architect of the genocide in Gaza. He doesn’t deserve to go anywhere for the rest of his life without being reminded of his crimes.

Hi @NYTimesPR, thanks for responding. Appreciate it. I'm a subscriber and I think some of your reporters do some great reporting.
Just to respond to your response to my post:
1) There were no facts "misstated" by me. You cited three examples in response. Only one of them was about specific *named* GOP House members (and it wasn't from "yesterday", it was from a year ago.) So I stand by my post.
2) As others have pointed out already, none of the 3 articles you cited have the names of any GOP individuals in the titles ("Right-Wing Republicans" "a Kansas Republican" "G.O.P. Fingerprints"), in comparison to your original "Who is Darializa" takedown piece. Where is your "Who is Brandon Gill" or "Who is Keith Self" or "Who Is Randy Fine" or "Who Is Mary Miller" critical profile pieces? How about "Who is Tom Emmer," given the GOP House Majority Whip just a few days ago spewed racist crap about Somalis? And where are the Peter Baker tweets summarizing *their* most controversial claims?
3) This isn't a new criticism. Many have made it against your paper for many years; that you go harder on the left than the right, that you even occasionally whitewash the far right. Remember when you had to do a public response in 2017 to a NYT profile that went super soft on a... Nazi? https://t.co/IF6DhTwcrp. Remember when you guys did a softball piece about a far-right, Islamophobic Trump aide's love for cooking? https://t.co/dp0Sf9PQg9.
Oh, and dare I ask: where are the fawning 'Trump voters' in diners' equivalent pieces for DSA members in NYC bodegas? Isn't it time?
4) Finally, that your response to my post was to proudly say you guys at the Times have "been documenting the increasingly extreme viewpoints on both sides of the political spectrum" kinda makes my point for me. One side's extreme wants universal healthcare and an end to genocide. The other side's extreme says Somalis are "garbage" and wants "remigration", mass deportations and white supremacy.
But, hey, "Both sides!"

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

Our democracy should belong to the people, not the highest bidder.

As long as billionaires and corporate interests can spend unlimited money to influence our elections, working people will be forced to compete with wealth and power. It's time to abolish Super PACs.

[Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Shame on you Governor Shapiro for referring to progressives as performiative. So sick of the arrogance and hubris that come from establishment politicians like you.

We are not performing. We are fighting for the working class and for our children that the establishment have left behind in favor of their oligarchy friends the Epstein class and special interest. The American people are demanding something different and we as progressives are a much needed breath of fresh air away from white supremacy American hegemony and patriarchy. We demand dignity respect safety and opportunity for all.

[Jamaal Bowman @RepBowman]

Jon Favreau shame on you! How dare you!?

Darializa just made history and the best you can do is offer a hatin ass take on her incredible accomplishment!?

Have you ever organized in the Bronx, Harlem or Washington Heights? Have you ever run for Congress? Darializa is an incredible community organizer and leader! Celebrate her! Instead of coming with your jealous ass privilege establishment hate!

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Kirsten Gillibrand, who accused Zohran Mamdani of promoting "global jihad" and has never publicly apologized for doing that, is having fun hanging out with Ted Cruz, who constantly makes anti-Muslim, bigoted remarks.

The worst side of the Democratic Party establishment, folks!

[Dr. Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed]

US troops have no business fighting a war in Lebanon. Why is that so hard for the majority of Democrats to vote “yes” on?

[Summer Lee @SummerForPA]

The silence from Democrats when Muslim colleagues and candidates are attacked is a cancerous rot.

We cannot lead our country out this moment if we're willing to accept the abuse or dehumanization of any marginalized group.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

and they call us "religious fanatics"
this is certifiable lunacy.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

the alternative is that Israel 1) continues forever to oppress and deny indigenous Palestinians basic rights and liberties afforded to Jews; 2) expand their genocide into the West Bank and get rid of indigenous Palestinians completely, or significantly, or; 3) implement another large scale ethnic cleansing campaign to expel them, like they did in 1948 and 1967.

this is Bernie Sanders, a Jewish supremacist, dressed in the rhetoric of progressiveness.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

Israel killed around 250 Palestinians - including so many children - between May 15th and 16th.

250.

It has been exhausting to witness online American liberals and self-described leftists negotiate the efficacy and moral fortitude of their fave candidates and elected officials while stepping over the bodies of Palestinians who continue to be used as a prop.

For so many this genocide has served not as a moment to demand and lead actual upheaval but instead was used to grift off of in order to uphold the status quo under the nasty lie that it’s going to help Palestinians in the long run.

Palestinians are being killed right now - they have been slaughtered everyday for almost 3 years.

We haven’t and we will not stop our genocide with the same tools that that led to it, the same tools that failed to do anything to stop the fascistic poison consuming this country.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

The Nakba never ended. The Israeli apartheid regime is still committing genocide in Gaza and violently erasing entire communities across Palestine and Lebanon. I'm leading a resolution to recognize the 78th anniversary of Nakba and reaffirm Palestinian refugees' right of return.

[Sana Saeed @SanaSaeed]

a lot of people on here with a lot of strong opinions are treating Gaza like a policy consideration to debate and not like the live-streamed slaughter, rape, displacement, starvation of a nation, almost half of whom were children.
