📰 @Sludge: Hakeem Jeffries Opposes Cutting Aid to Israel After Record-Breaking AIPAC Donation

"On May 20, AIPAC PAC sent two earmarked payments—$87,500 and $61,800, totaling $149,300—to the Jeffries Battleground Protection Fund, a joint fundraising committee that splits proceeds between Jeffries' own campaign, the DCCC, and more than a dozen frontline House Democrats."

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. https://t.co/TTYhR1ZT9y

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

What are @DAGToddBlanche and @TheJusticeDept hiding from the American people? Why won’t they cooperate with the only active criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein?

November is coming.

Mamdani just unlocked the rarest political achievement, actually scaring a final boss.

[BladeoftheSun @BladeoftheS]

Nicolás Maduro is being kept in solitary confinement, locked in a 6ft by 10ft room for more than 23 hours a day

All because he wouldn't let Donald Trump steal Venezuela's oil

The silence from the international community is deafening

They don't care about US/Israeli War Crimes

They shot him, dragged his lifeless body onto the pavement, and handcuffed his corpse while his 3-year old daughter wearing Bluey pajamas watched in horror. If you say you voted for this you are an empty soulless vessel.

🚨BREAKING UPDATE OUT OF MAINE: The man killed in the Biddeford, Maine ICE shooting has been identified as a 26-year-old Colombian man who was authorized to work in the United States and had been issued a Social Security number.

This wasn’t a “violent criminal.” This wasn’t even an undocumented immigrant.

This was someone who had legal authorization to live and work here.

So why was ICE trying to pull him over?

A witness also says he saw a large white vehicle ram the smaller vehicle, followed by a second impact… And heard gunshots.

He says he then saw an officer open the vehicle door, pull a man out with blood covering his head, and heard him say: “I tried to stop.”

ICE agents do not have the authority to stop whoever they want, give conflicting orders, escalate an encounter, and then use deadly force when that situation becomes chaotic.

If the government gives agents the power to carry weapons and take someone’s life, those agents have a responsibility to make sure they are acting within the law before they create a situation where someone can be killed.

A person’s rights do not disappear because an ICE agent decides to stop them.

Which means the question that must be answer is this…

Was this man killed because ICE created a dangerous situation that never should have happened?

Because when the government can put someone in a life-or-death situation, the question cannot only be whether the final seconds justified pulling the trigger.

We have to ask why this encounter was allowed to escalate in the first place.

So we’re passing seats in the senate to family members? No elections, no voter choice? 😂🤣 Quite the democracy.

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

This motherfucker raped a 13 year old girl.

He was ordered by a Federal Judge to pay $5 Million to a woman he raped / sexually assaulted.

He is on tape admitting he sexually assaults women.

He’s a 34 time Convicted Felon.

He murdered 170 school girls in the war he started.

He’s married to a ex-prostitute.

Don’t lose sight of the facts.

[Cory Archibald @CMArchibald]

When ICE murdered Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, they stripped him of all his IDs and personal possessions before shipping him to the hospital. When they murdered a man in front of his 3 year old daughter this morning, they dragged his lifeless body out of the car and handcuffed him.

Every candidate should be running on a platform of arresting and prosecuting this roving gang of murderers masquerading as a federal agency, and tearing the entire rotten enterprise down to the studs.

Fuck ICE.

[Eye on Palestine @EyeonPalestine]

U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna said he and his delegation were detained for 75 minutes by armed Israeli settlers during a visit to the village of Zanuta in the occupied West Bank. He said Israeli soldiers who arrived at the scene sided with the settlers instead of protecting them. Khanna added that the visit gave him a firsthand look at the daily reality Palestinians endure, and pledged to continue sharing their testimonies and advocating for their rights.

قال عضو الكونغرس الأمريكي Ro Khanna إنه تعرض مع وفده للاحتجاز لمدة 75 دقيقة على يد مستوطنين مسلحين خلال زيارته لقرية زنوتة في الضفة الغربية، مشيراً إلى أن جنود الاحتلال الذين حضروا إلى الموقع ساندوا المستوطنين بدلاً من حمايتهم. وأضاف أن ما شاهده خلال زيارته كشف له جانباً من واقع الحياة اليومية التي يعيشها الفلسطينيون، مؤكداً عزمه على مواصلة نقل شهاداتهم والدعوة إلى حصولهم على حقوقهم.

[Molly Jong-Fast @MollyJongFast]

But why? Why would the justice dept hinder a probe of Epstein ranch?

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Thank you to all those who reached out asking about my safety. I am home. But I cannot get the stories of the indignities Palestinian face out or my head. I am still processing it and wanted to share some of what I saw.
