Activists are lining the path to the negotiating rooms at #COP28 as talks stretch into the night.

The latest draft text is wholly unacceptable in failing to #EndFossilFuels.

We’re calling on our leaders to #HoldTheLine + push for the fossil fuel phaseout we deserve.

Thank you to @nysut for endorsing my campaign! I'm proud to stand with them in the fight for strong public schools and good union jobs. Together, we can build a better future for students in Assembly District 37 and across New York.

[Dr. Adam Hamawy @HamawyForNJ]

I've spent the last two days talking to so many incredible progressive leaders from across New Jersey and the country, spending time with my family, and gearing up for November.

Israeli authorities have transferred detained Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safiya to solitary confinement at Nafha Prison after his legal team challenged the extension of his detention, according to his lawyer.

The lawyer says the June 3 transfer was punitive and has left Abu Safiya without necessary medical treatment.

Healthcare Workers Watch says at least 83 Palestinian healthcare workers are currently being held by Israel, including 75 from Gaza.

[Bobby Allyn @BobbyAllyn]

George Santos called me after my story revealing federal investigations into his suspected market manipulation on Kalshi.

And he said: "This story is going to get you a gun in your face."

Then he lied about it.

Find time to read this quite astonishingly good piece by
@ArwaM Mahdawi. Brilliant on our government's appalling moral confusion over Gaza

"Why is Hasan Piker ‘not conducive to the public good’? Because on Gaza, we punish the witness, not the crime"

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

For the past two and a half years, the UK government has armed a genocide as it was livestreamed around the world.

Now, some politicians are pretending they have always been against the crimes they enabled.

Too little, too late. Your complicity will never, ever be forgotten.

New @BW feature: A landmark case was unearthing new revelations about Amazon's intimate, intensive regulation of drivers it claims aren't its employees. Then Trump put Amazon's former lawyer in charge https://t.co/WhkEoRk0JF

Based on 1000s of pages of records and 50+ interviews

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Amazon sets the routes, the quotas, the uniforms, the cameras — and then tells workers they don't actually work for Amazon. Every delivery worker in this city should be able to afford to live here and have their rights respected.

Workers deserve better.

Cuba helped several African countries in their liberation struggles against brutal colonial occupiers, including against the apartheid regime in South Africa which the US backed and supported. That’s what he means by “radical left-wing terrorism”, just to be clear.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Not a single peep from the likes of the BBC or CNN, the same outlets that were reporting on the Iranian women’s football team three times a day.

Western media doesn’t care about women’s freedom in Iran, Palestine or Lebanon unless it can be weaponised to serve their narrative.

[Leyla Hamed @leylahamed]

Israel has arrested two Palestinian women’s national team players, Natalie Abu Dayyeh & Rand Al Halawini. The Palestine FA described it as part of the systematic targeting of their athletes.

Will the same media who were concerned about Iran’s women footballers say anything now?

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

So the “ceasefire” would effectively cede southern Lebanon to Israel without any promise by Israel to stop attacking.

Hezbollah has declined this offer.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

A year ago, 21 members of Congress joined me to introduce the Block the Bombs Act to withhold weapons from Israel that were being used to violate U.S. and international law.

Today, we are proud to have 73 bipartisan cosponsors.
We must demand an end to U.S. complicity in destruction, displacement, and death in Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon.

It's time to Block the Bombs!

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

for anyone curious about this dynamic, it's very much a quantitative phenomena. Post Oct 7, despite university and nonprofits finding roughly equal instances of antisemitism and anti-Muslim racism, the former was covered 9X-31X more in US media, depending on how it was measrured

[Nathan Kalman-Lamb @nkalamb]

This is unreal. The New School Student Senate voted to cut ties with their campus Hillel group because it literally sponsored students to materially participate in the BOMBING OF GAZA... and so The New School admin is investigating the student senators.

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

The % of Dems who have a positive view of Israel is at 13%—less than the % of Dems who support full abortion bans & prayer in schools. Here I ask why US media keeps insisting support for Israel is “dividing democrats” when—in reality—it’s a fringe position https://t.co/61BRqAQQwo

[People's City Council - Los Angeles @PplsCityCouncil]

Last night, the US military invaded a quiet residential neighborhood in Pasadena for a “training exercise” that went until 1AM. Mayor Victor Gordo didn’t inform residents until right before and supposedly the military didn’t tell the city until yesterday

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

My statement on today's vote on the Lebanon War Powers Resolution.

[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?

[Collin Rees @collinrees]

@AnthonyMEmerson @mr_guy56 @electionsjoe Shah is awful on climate + energy, for one – he refused to reject fossil fuel money and is pro-fracked gas, which is well to the right of Gov. Mills and fully aligned with Sen. Collins.
