🎥 Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim on AOC’s Gaza Reckoning

Ryan Grim says AOC has a credible “free shot” at the 2028 nomination, but her claim that Kamala Harris was “working tirelessly” for a ceasefire will follow her until she addresses it.

Jeremy Scahill says Gaza became a defining moral issue for young voters, yet AOC played “sheepdog” for VP Harris while Biden funded and enabled the genocide, then Democrats blamed voters of conscience for refusing to fall in line.

“There’s no question that she was not the voice of the opposition,” Grim said. Had she taken that role, she could enter 2028 with immense moral authority and be “almost unbeatable.”

This post is filled with lies about what Hamas agreed to & it’s part of a longstanding pattern: When Palestinian negotiators make agreements, the Israelis then demand new terms and the US and its lackeys pretend like these new edicts are part of the deal and then blame Hamas.

🎥 Journalist Sam Husseini confronted New York Senator Chuck Schumer as he held a press conference about President Donald Trump’s corruption, citing a November 2023 warning Schumer received from the Center for Constitutional Rights and other legal and human rights groups about potential liability for aiding, abetting, inciting or conspiring to commit genocide through congressional actions.

“What could be more corrupt than backing genocide?” he shouted, before calling Schumer a “genocidal maniac.”

Sen. John Fetterman is so unpopular that he would lose his hypothetical re-election by nearly 20 points to a generic “someone else” choice if the election were held today, new polling finds. https://t.co/snJUcwwmik

OMG. Best interreption of Zionist @SenSchumer ever! "It's amazing you can show your genocidal face in public." That's why we love @samhusseini 😍

Wow

This would be the single worst defeat suffered by The Israel Lobby and @ManhattanInst's billionaire Zionist funder Paul Singer in a long time.

The bigger their loss - after spending $60m and counting to force Michigan to choose between 2 pro-Israel candidates - the worse it is.

On April 6th @AbdulElSayed had only a 27% chance of winning the Democratic Primary. On April 7th he campaigned with @hasanthehun. Look at what happens to his odds of victory after that moment.

The establishment thought elevating and attacking Hasan would help them but it only helped clarify for Dem voters which candidate actually stood for human rights.

I can't tell you how gratifying it is that our movement is finally achieving power. Personally I've spent the last 10 years working nonstop on my little part of the socialist project, and it's incredible to see the payoff of everything we've all been building together.

BREAKING: Israel is dropping bombs on residential buildings in Gaza in the middle of the night — while families are asleep inside their homes.

Families with nowhere left to run.

The genocide has never stopped.

⭕️ Two Israeli female soldiers photographed themselves posing beside a young, blindfolded Palestinian detainee who appears to be a minor and proudly posted the image on Instagram.

The post, which circulated widely online and was reviewed by Drop Site News, was uploaded by Israeli soldier Nikol Stelmashvski as part of a 20-photo carousel containing additional images from her time in Gaza. Her account [@ nikol.stel, IG] has since been made private after the photo drew public backlash.

The image is the latest in a documented pattern of Israeli soldiers publicly sharing evidence of Palestinian detainees being humiliated or abused. Such conduct violates international humanitarian law, which prohibits the degrading treatment of detainees.

1. This @nypost cover: “Thousands of 9/11 families demand Mamdani be banned from 25th-Anniversary” is a brazen lie.

How do I know?

I interviewed the organizer of the petition.

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

They’re still doing it.

[Doug Henwood @DougHenwood]

Evil

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

So the NY Post just totally made up this claim that thousands of 9/11 families are mad at Mamdani.

Just a complete fabrication from a guy who basically hoaxed them:

In an interview with Popular Information, Galante acknowledged that there was no actual list of family members who had signed the petition. “We don’t have a list,” Galante said. Rather, the 300 figure that organizers shared with the New York Post was an estimate based on how they believe the petition spread before it received much publicity. “We all know each other, so…think about it. If you know 10 people and they give it to 10 more people they know that lost. That’s how we got the 300 number,” Galante explained. “I don’t go through the list and look at the names.”

Many are focusing on the fact Boy George was jailed for chaining a male escort to a wall and beating him with a metal rod, as Israeli soldiers often do to prisoners, and are ignoring that this is a historically terrible song in a particularly Israeli white guy reggae way

[Nathan J Robinson @NathanJRobinson]

We have got to get past the myth that being a centrist makes you more "electable." It's just flat wrong and will cause Democrats to continue to lose.

Italy, France, Greece did it again.

Three Rome Statute parties opened their airspace to fugitive Netanyahu, in breach of their obligation to cooperate with the ICC.

I call on competent authorities to investigate possible complicity.

🇵🇸🇮🇱Israeli occupation forces push disabled Palestinian off his wheelchair and slam him into the ground, then proceed to attack the crowd attempting to come to his aid.

This is the daily reality for millions of Palestinians who endure abuse at the hands of Israeli.
