Israel is destroying everything in Gaza City in order to force its Palestinian residents out. It targeted schools, water tanks, internet access points, solar panels, and high-rise buildings. “They are shutting down every service that keeps a human alive.”

This morning, the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that the Israeli government is committing genocide — affirming what Palestinians and experts have been saying for nearly two years.

Together, Sen Amy Klobuchar and I led the full Minnesota delegation in introducing a resolution honoring the victims and survivors at Annunciation Catholic School. Our community has shown incredible strength and we stand with them as they heal.

Israel has killed over 1,400 starving Palestinians in Gaza as they attempted to retrieve aid—it is using food to lure hungry Palestinians into death traps. This cannot continue.

The Trump Admin’s silence to the famine crisis in Gaza is unacceptable & deadly. The US has a moral obligation to ensure that drastic surges in aid enter Gaza. Secretary Rubio must heed our call & press the Israeli government to ensure infant formula reaches every baby who needs it.

Yesterday, we met with the Michigan Department of Corrections about the concerning conditions at Women's Huron Valley, the state's only women's prison. Afterward, we were interviewed by WXYZ-TV Channel 7 Action News: You can watch/read more of the interview here: www.wxyz.com/news/region/...

🗳️ I love our family tradition of voting together in every election. Voted early today with my husband Conan. Proud to cast my ballot to re-elect @wutrain.bsky.social — the clear, steady, and bold Mayor our city deserves in these consequential times. Boston, don't forget to vote on September 9th!

Justice Democrats is proud to announce our newest endorsement of the cycle: Angela Gonzales-Torres! Angela’s the daughter of a deportee who’s lived the crises Angelenos face now taking on AIPAC-backed Jimmy Gomez because #CA34 deserves leadership that will fight for them—not leave them behind.

The Israeli military assassinated five journalists and at least 19 Palestinians total in two targeted strikes on Nasser Medical Complex this morning.

Israel has destroyed about 3,000 olive trees in a Palestinian town in the West Bank. These trees are a source of sustenance and income for Palestinians. Israel’s destruction of centuries old olive trees is the destruction of Palestinian livelihood.

Parents know the pain of a hungry baby's cry. Imagine instead of fumbling for a bottle a military blockade is preventing you from feeding your child. Rubio must pressure the Israeli govt to surge humanitarian aid into Gaza, including ready-to-feed baby formula. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/25/m...

Imagine a military blockade stands between you & the ability to feed your hungry baby. That's the reality for parents in Gaza. @pettersen.house.gov and I are leading 101 Members of Congress demanding Sec. Rubio pressure the Israeli govt to surge aid and formula to babies at risk of starvation.

This moment demands moral clarity and decisive action. 19,000 children have been killed in Gaza. Thousands more are at imminent risk of death by starvation. Surging aid & baby formula to families in Gaza is critical. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/25/m...

“The Democratic leadership’s unwillingness to adapt is not just bad politics; it’s a betrayal of basic democratic principles.” Voters are overwhelmingly against the genocide in Gaza — and yet, some of their Reps are still taking AIPAC trips to Israel. It’s time to clean House.

"The path to more Dem victories is not around, behind, & under lobbies like AIPAC & Crypto, but it’s right through them, taking them head-on & ridding them from our politics once and for all. Cowardice inspires no one." Read our ED @alexandrasiera's newest oped: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

AIPAC is now a toxic pariah in the Democratic Party because voters don't want to be represented by candidates bought by any lobby, let alone a pro-genocide one. The path forward for Dem electeds is clear: Stop arming Israel, reject AIPAC, & give our democracy back to the people.

“As the Democratic Party looks towards regaining majorities in 2026 and 2028, it is clear that for many of its voters, an AIPAC endorsement will be a political liability.”

"Reject AIPAC" coalition says AIPAC is now "definitively" a pariah: —One of smallest groups ever of freshman Dems on Israel trip —Foushee & Dexter, who AIPAC spent millions on, want to block arms to Israel; Foushee now rejects AIPAC —Majority Senate Dems oppose arms sales to Israel for first time

73% of Trump’s $15.9 billion fortune comes from crypto schemes he advanced while in office. He gutted health care and SNAP, then pushed laws to boost his own shady crypto empire. Corruption in plain sight. theintercept.com/2025/08/09/t...

Outrageous. Over 200 journalists have been murdered by the Israeli military. Grateful for the courageous truth-teller journalists in Gaza for their bravery and sacrifice to tell the stories of Gaza to the world. Shame on the continuation of funding this genocide.

Welcome to the Massachusetts 7th Rahaf. You are loved and welcome here. Rahaf was evacuated from Gaza after suffering burns and shrapnel wounds from an Israeli airstrike. www.wcvb.com/article/youn...

Israel has starved at least 100 Palestinian children to death in Gaza by blocking the entry of food aid. Children who are not being killed by Israel's blockade on food and aid are being murdered by Israel's bombs – bombs paid for by US taxpayers.

"I know when it comes to real representation, Michigan's 13th District deserves better," says @reprashida.govpeeps.us in support of state Rep. @donavanmckinney.bsky.social.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable. Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death. It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

🚨After unlawfully withholding billions in education funding for schools, the Trump Admin. has reversed course. This is a massive victory for students, educators, & families who depend on these essential resources. And it's a testament to public pressure & relentless organizing.

People across the country are facing consequences simply for standing up against a genocide. Yesterday, I spoke with Mahmoud Khalil, who the Trump administration wrongfully detained. His experience highlights a long history of attempts to silence voices that challenge injustice.

Kicks 17 million off their health insurance.   Cuts nutrition for hungry kids.   Makes it harder for working people to afford college.   Biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in history. But go off.

Grateful for you and your compassion, Mahmoud. We must keep pressing to protect the constitutional rights of everyone who calls America home and work with urgency to end the horrific genocide in Gaza.

If only the GOP fought as hard to protect working families as they are fighting to cover for Trump and their donors…

If you're a family, senior, worker, parent, child, farmer, immigrant, working class, middle class, disabled, unemployed, sick, hungry, Republican, Democrat, Independent, this bill was written to harm you. And if you're a billionaire, this bill is great for you, and you only.

Good morning to every career politician that thinks they can survive a primary from the left 🌞

Zohran's shown if you're brave & stand up to a political establishment that thinks lowering costs for everyday people is too hard (on their billionaire donors)—you can inspire millions that another future's possible. Congress is our focus but he embodies what we're fighting for.

Trump is waging a war with Iran...for Israel. This is a horrific, unconstitutional attack that endangers every American & enriches every warmonger in DC with your tax dollars. Any member of Congress worth keeping in office should be trying to stop this war & demanding a War Powers Resolution vote.

Bernie's endorsement of @donavanmckinney.bsky.social is the oligarchy tour put into practice. Donavan is challenging a literal multimillionaire who's spent over $17 million of his own money to buy a seat in Congress...just to ignore his constituents. Fight oligarchy & support Donavan.

The progressive’s plan to primary some of the members of congress seems to be continuing as Bernie Sanders is throwing his support behind Rep. Donavan McKinney. The 33-year-old Detroiter is looking to primary Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th congressional district.

“Donavan is exactly the type of leader we need in Washington right now,” Sanders said in a written statement. “He understands the struggles working class communities are facing in Detroit and across the country because he’s lived those struggles himself.”

Today, I'm proud to announce U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’s endorsement of our campaign! His commitment to standing with the people to build a multi-racial, multi-generational working class movement is exactly what our campaign’s all about. I’m ready to join him & take that fight to D.C.

The future of the Democratic Party does not start at corporate conventions funded by billionaires & hedge fund managers.

Ahmed started training as a gymnast at 7 years old. At 16, Israel hit him with an airstrike. Due to Israel’s blockade on medicine, he was conscious as both his legs were amputated. Israel’s genocide in Gaza is stealing the dreams of Palestinian children.

Melanie O'Brien, President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars, says Israel is committing genocide in Gaza www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

Waving a Mexican flag in the US prompts questions about your loyalty. Also if you criticize Israel you're not allowed to go to college.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

I elaborated on the point that the Big Beautiful Bill has a pretty direct connection to the ICE raids in Los Angeles: it provides $72 billion for detention and enforcement that would bring community crackdowns to a city near you: prospect.org/politics/tru...

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.

Sending 700 Marines to LA is an unacceptable militarization of our streets and a poor use of our troops’ time. Using the military to intimidate protesters violates the principles this country stands for. This overreach must stop before it causes irreversible harm.

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

The Trump administration's ongoing actions in LA are authoritarian measures intended to villify dissent. This isn't about safety, it's about control.
