NEW: Buried in the defense bill is a policy to fill weapon “gaps” Israel gets as other nations embargo it.

As in: the US armed Israel’s genocide.
Nations responded by restricting arms to Israel.
Now, citing the restrictions, US may send Israel *even more.*https://t.co/3ju7HOHY7S

Today @SenJeffMerkley and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East.

Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here: https://t.co/0lojm3LCX3

⚡️ BREAKING: Microsoft employees and other demonstrators with the No Azure for Apartheid movement are currently occupying the office of company president Brad Smith. Workers say they have re-established a “Liberated Zone” inside Microsoft’s executive Building 34, renaming it the Mai Ubeid Building in honor of a Palestinian software engineer killed in an Israeli airstrike.

Bloomberg reported earlier today that Microsoft has spent the past year trying to crush employee dissent over its ties to Israel’s war on Gaza — including enlisting the FBI, working with police, and censoring internal posts mentioning “Gaza.” The company has suspended and fired workers who spoke out, while employees have continued to stage disruptions, from mass emails to sit-ins and viral protests. The employee-led movement is protesting Microsoft profiting from and enabling Israel’s atrocities in Palestine through its Azure cloud and AI tools. Despite repression, workers say they won’t stop until Microsoft cuts its ties to Israel’s military.

According to the organizers’ statement, today’s action included deploying noisemakers into the atrium, unfurling banners, and delivering a “People’s Court Summons” to Brad Smith. Their demands include: cutting ties with Israel, calling for an end to genocide and forced starvation, reparations for Palestinians, and ending workplace discrimination.

Video shows the demonstrators in the Microsoft C-suite reading their statement. Shared on Twitch (link in reply).

@RepMTG Thank you for Speaking against these atrocities. I may disagree with you on issues but I firmly support any actions to end the forced starvation of civilians and the slaughter of children

Finally, hundred of aid trucks are now entering the Gaza Strip to starving children.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

AntiPalestinian Racism (and hatred) is so normalised that any random someone can throw unfounded racist insults against a population that is being slaughtered, and be met with cheers (rather than rotten vegetables). It is precisely this dehumanizing language that has enabled the genocide we see unfolding. And it is not just defamatory: it is incitement.

These 45 Democrats just joined Republicans to pass a bill sanctioning the International Criminal Court in order to protect Netanyahu from arrest.

First priorities for this Congress?

Lowering costs ❌
Assisting wildfire victims ❌
Undermining international human rights law ✅

I can think of no more perfect image to encapsulate the modern Democratic Party than this sundowning butcher, this lamest of lame ducks, doddering out of the rose garden to press the KILL MORE PALESTINIANS button for the 100th time like it’s a morphine pump in a hospice.

This is horrifying. I feel sick.

[Dr. Omar Suleiman @omarsuleiman]

If this isn’t terrorism, there is no such thing.

Here, Israel murdered a large group of starving civilians. Their families came to recover the bodies and were murdered as well. Just disgusting on so many levels.

[usaama @yoUsaama]

being anti-genocide makes you by default "anti-american". and there is nothing controversial about either - in fact, it's the most rational and morally consistent position you can take.

[George Helmy @ghelmy]

I have some real, hard questions about what is causing the scale of suffering in Gaza and the West Bank.

They are not abstract questions but stem from what I've seen and heard during my trip to Jordan to assess the state of humanitarian assistance efforts.

What I saw was this:
