The State Capitol illuminated in white and blue in solidarity with Israel.
Our support is unwavering — and we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our friend and ally.
This is Melat Kiros - who lost her job for speaking out against Israeli genocide of Gaza in 2023 - calling for a Free Palestine and a COMPLETE arms embargo on Israel.
She won her primary race tonight against 30-year incumbent Diana DiGette by 10 points.
Free Palestine.
22 House Democrats just voted with the GOP to kill a resolution from Rashida Tlaib to restrict the U.S. from assisting Israeli military operations in Lebanon.
The Venezuela earthquake disaster is/was one of the worse humanitarian disasters of the 21st century and it's barely being covered by mainstream media. 60,000+ missing. Very little aid/help given. Disgusting. It's even being reported that trafficking of orphans is occurring in the aftermath 💔
U.S. Congresswomen @RepRashida issued a stark warning to Lebanon’s government:
“Wake up!”
“Israel and the Trump administration are openly rooting for the new Lebanese civil war.”
“Learn the lessons of the countries before you.”
“A ceasefire with Israel means: You cease, they fire.”
She says the Trump administration’s Lebanon deal won’t protect the Lebanese people. It will deepen Israeli occupation and turn Lebanon into “another subcontractor for the Israeli occupation.”
Hope Lebanon’s elites hear this!
"This is our ninth displacement to the south. We don't know how to manage this time — how to book a car, how to move our remaining belongings.
we don't know how the coming days will go. Please help....

these amendments are historic and enforce a full arms embargo on Israel, going further than the Massie one, and of course unlike the AOCIA amendment which was deliberately designed by her Israel lobby J-Street handlers like Matt Duss to safeguard Israel from an embargo and would not stop a single weapon from being sent to Israel even if it were passed, it's not going viral and everyone is ignoring it. READ THE ACTUAL TEXTS. I will post more about this later. Again, these amendments go further than the Massie one as it also blocks all commercial sales, and it is very telling that AOCIA refused to back them.
Today, I introduced a resolution to honor the crew of the USS Liberty. 59 years ago, Israel attacked the ship, killing 34 Americans and wounding 174.
The President should declassify and publicly release all files related to Israel’s unprovoked attack on the USS Liberty.
A new Palestinian Feminist Collective report concludes that sexualized violence, including rape and sexual enslavement, has been used by Zionist militias and later the Israeli state as a deliberate tool of displacement, domination, torture, and control—from the Nakba to the present. The report demonstrates that the sexual humiliation, torture, rape, blackmail, and targeting of Palestinians since October 2023 are not aberrations but the continuation of a longstanding, institutionalized architecture of settler colonial violence.
I offered 26 amendments to the NDAA.
The amendments are intended to uphold human rights at home and abroad, protect our servicemembers, block U.S.-Israeli military integration and end U.S. participation in war crimes.
Our shared humanity must be centered in all our policies.
⭕️ Rep. Rashida Tlaib has filed 26 amendments to the 2027 NDAA, among them a total arms embargo on any state charged with war crimes or genocide before the International Criminal Court or International Court of Justice, a category Israel would fall under.
The Republican-led House Rules Committee determines which amendments reach the floor, and progressive measures like these are routinely denied a vote. Here’s the full list:
🔹 Israel / Palestine / Middle East
1.Block US-Israel military integration (strike Section 219)
2.Block the new US-Abraham Accords Military Cooperation Initiative
3.Ban any new military co-production agreement with Israel

Another war powers vote. Another chance to stop another endless war.
@JaredEMoskowitz sided with Republicans to reject Rep. Rashida Tlaib's Lebanon War Powers Resolution and protect Trump's unilateral war powers.
Floridians deserve a representative who votes for peace, not escalation.
1. He opposed a ceasefire resolution in San Fran
2. He opposed a ceasefire at the state level
3. He pushed legislation conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism
4. He refused to say genocide until he needed votes
We not talking decades, it's been 5 mins.
