Like it or not: Germany’s energy system is fully operational, with more than 50% renewables. And we are shutting down – not building – coal & nuclear plants. Coal will be off the grid by 2038 at the latest. PS: We also don’t eat cats and dogs. #Debate2024

Gazans in the north, center, and southern parts of the coastal enclave are cursing out Hamas and its criminal “resistance,” specifically how the group’s fighters launch useless rockets or “tubes / mawaseer” & mortar rounds from the middle of tents, residential neighborhoods, and civilian areas. People are furious at how Hamas reconstitutes in regions vacated by Israeli ground troops, as is the case in Jabalia & northern Gaza, and conducts activities that bring the IDF back in, causing further bombardment, death, destruction, and displacement. Some civilians who didn't flee northern Gaza over the past seven months are now forced to do so as a result of Hamas's insistence on using civilians as human shields and conducting worthless attacks amidst the population. Gazans call these horrendous, criminal, reckless, and damaging actions and activities acts of treason and betrayal of the civilian population by a ruthless terror organization that has no regard for its people's safety and survival. I challenge any “pro-Palestine” activist who’s cheering on Hamas’s “resistance” in the Western world to face those Gazans who are being annihilated and facing unimaginable suffering, being stuck between the Islamist group's ruthlessness and a ferocious Israeli war machine. Down with Hamas and any ignorant fool that cheers on this death cult, which caused a second Nakba to the Palestinian people in Gaza and is determined to get most of the enclave’s residents killed and harmed by its sick strategies and futile armed resistance project and narrative.

President Biden has officially announced his asylum ban.

Despite an overwhelming flood of public comments demanding a humane asylum system, the administration has instead decided to prioritize fear over welcome.

Is this your legacy, @POTUS?

[Josh @Jwhin]

Unbelievable. There are no words to describe the inhumanity. This happened in Mexico but US immigration policy has everything to do with it.

[Texas Public Radio @TPRNews]

Video obtained by @TPRNews @NPR appears to show guards at an immigration detention center in Juarez walking away from the deadly fire that killed at least 39 people.

@RavBogard Well done. So sorry it was necessary.

[Mark Miller @RavMark]

I desperately wish that this was a shocking outlier, but it isn’t. So many of these politicians are just awful human beings - our future is in peril.

It does not matter if #KanyeWest is mentally ill, a morally well society defends #Jews from #Antisemitic threats.

Whether somebody’s sick or sane does not make Antisemitism less lethal. Physical attacks often follow verbal assaults. #WordsMatter.

#dreaminga2j Moth inspired story slam was fantastic. Can’t wait for what’s next!

[Congresswoman Cori Bush (Archived) @RepCori]

The United States is using Title 42 to expel thousands of Black asylum seekers who face torture, rape, and extortion in their home countries.

Protect Black migrants.
End Title 42.

“If we ban Russian oil, we need to do it in a way that doesn't dramatically increase prices for American consumers. If the price of a barrel of oil goes to $150…you and I can afford that, but there are a lot of low income consumers who would be hurt.”

[Dr. John B. King, Jr. @JohnBKing]

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

@SenJeffMerkley @janschakowsky Thank you!!

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

After 29 months of imprisonment, the trial of the #Guapinol water defenders is expected to end today. I’m glad to see the US embassy is monitoring the trial. These activists should be freed immediately.

[Jan Schakowsky @janschakowsky]

This week marks 29 months of unjust arbitrary imprisonment of #Guapinol water defenders. They should be immediately freed and given reparations for the trauma and injustice they have endured!

We are appalled by the hostage situation at Congregation Beth Israel and condemn this attack on a house of worship. We stand in solidarity with the rabbi and congregation. We pray for a peaceful end to this travesty and for the perpetrator to be brought to justice.

[Rep. Debbie Dingell @RepDebDingell]

Standing with the Jewish community tonight as Congregation Beth Israel and Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker have been held hostage. Please join Temple Beth Emeth and me for a Zoom Havdalah Service tonight: https://t.co/Q8unWdPOql

[Josh @Jwhin]

@RepDebDingell Thank you for being with us. Your presence means so much to our community, especially in times as these. We pray for peace.

Stewing: Why wasn't Justice Gorsuch wearing a mask? Other justices were, reporters are required to, along with attorneys (when they're not arguing). Is that why Justice Sotomayor participated remotely? We all owe one another a duty of care and respect. Even justices.

[Honduras Solidarity @hondurassol]

Campesino groups in the Aguan are being targeted again by the narco-government still holding power and land oligarchs. Intimidation & evictions are human rights violations and must stop. @sedhHonduras @onuddhh @usembassyhn
