It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.
While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.
And they’re right.
The Israeli government is employing the same genocidal tactics in Lebanon that it unleashed in Gaza, relentlessly bombing both while engaging in mass killings, forced displacement, and the destruction of cities and villages. 🧵
Dikembe Mutombo was an incredible basketball player – one of the best shot blockers and defensive players of all time. But he also inspired a generation of young people across Africa, and his work as the NBA’s first global ambassador changed the way athletes think about their impact off the court. Michelle and I are thinking of Dikembe’s family and everyone who knew and loved him.
Those who continue to be silent or lie about the genocide have exposed themselves in a way they can never, ever mask again -
Human rights are nothing but transactional chits to be played when it’s easy .
Palastinans are not human beings.
There is no other way to justify the lying or silence
In the last year alone and against my vote, Congress has sent more than $10 billion in taxpayer dollars to the extremist Israeli government – to buy more of the bombs & weapons they're using against the Palestinian people.
Enough.
U.S. complicity in this horrific war must end.
Netanyahu’s right-wing, extremist government is violating international & US law and has created a humanitarian disaster in Gaza.
Today, I announced that I will file Joint Resolutions of Disapproval to stop the sale of U.S. arms to Israel and end our complicity in this disaster.
A great spirit and boundless, unique voice has left us. James Earl Jones has passed, and he is returned to the great beyond. We are all the lesser for his loss, and we collectively mourn his passing and honor his great body of work.
