Timeline right now is clips of government officials saying "We love God and we all must follow his Acts" intermixed with their actual "Acts" (children's mangled bodies; healthcare GoFundMe's; disregarded trafficking victims; masked agents ripping people away from their families)

Past 2 weeks: —4500+ filmworkers launch boycott of genocide-complicit institutions —International soccer boycott campaign begins —One of largest caucuses in Congress endorse Block the Bombs —UK, Portugal, Australia, Canada, France recognize Palestine —500+ Jewish healthworkers demand end to genocide

The nearly 100 members in the Congressional Progressive Caucus — a majority of whom just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act:

News: Hundreds of Jewish healthcare workers from around the US and beyond are circulating a letter demanding an “end to the genocide in Gaza.” They “reject the weaponization of accusations of antisemitism to suppress criticism of Israel and expressions of solidarity with Palestinians.”

NEWS: The Congressional Progressive Caucus — which represents nearly 100 members in Congress — has just voted to endorse the Block the Bombs Act, to block weapon sales to Israel. First time any major congressional caucus has backed legislation to end US aid for Israel’s destruction of Gaza.

"The Republican official who seems to have played a role in suspending Kimmel once specifically condemned the censorship of 'late-night comedians.'" @premthakker.bsky.social dives into the background of Brendan Carr. Read more: zeteo.com/p/trump-fcc-...

The Biden-Harris admin deciding that shutting down anti-genocide speech was more worthwhile than shutting down the genocide itself helped lead us to Trump-Vance, which is shredding whatever was left of the “First Amendment” & mockingly revealing how hollow their allies’ commitments to it were

This was jarringly historical. Five American families came to Washington DC, to collectively demand politicians find justice for each of their young loved ones killed & brutalized by Israeli violence — and to prevent this from happening to other families. I spoke with them:

“Muhammed is still alive… We're sitting in a building right now where a simple phone call can come out and get him home.” Families of US citizens killed or imprisoned by Israeli forces or settlers speak with @premthakker.bsky.social about their fight to demand accountability from the US government.

Pramila Jayapal, on voting against Charlie Kirk resolution: "Congress should have been voting on a unifying resolution…without lionizing [him]…I would have gladly voted for a resolution that simply condemned his assassination just as l condemned the assassination of MN State Sen. Melissa Hortman."

NEW: Brendan Carr — the FCC official who had a role in suspending Jimmy Kimmel amid Trump’s crackdown on speech under the flag of stopping “political violence” — once railed against censorship specifically against “late-night comedians” and said Donald Trump was responsible for “political violence.”

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

“…we all know there's something really bad going on, but if we look and we see, then we're going to feel compelled to do everything we can to stop it." Actress Cynthia Nixon tells @premthakker.bsky.social how she was pushed not to talk about Palestine during her 2018 bid for New York governor.

UPDATE: 22 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Jim McGovern (Co-Chair of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, named for the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in Congress) says the US cannot "continue to arm and fund" Israel. 510 members are currently genocide deniers.

Heavy from Craig Corrie—the dad of young American Rachel, killed by Israeli soldiers in 2003 as she protested Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes: "People talk about this human rights champion…I just think of this…Strong woman, and a cute little girl, and all the stuff in between…I miss her."

Immigration Judge Orders Mahmoud Khalil to Be Deported to Syria or Algeria The Palestinian activist's lawyers say he remains protected for now by a federal judge's previous order preventing his removal while his case proceeds, writes @premthakker.bsky.social: zeteo.com/p/immigratio...

An immigration judge has ordered Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Syria or Algeria. News of the Trump admin’s continued pursuit of the freed Palestinian activist comes as it expands its war on speech even further, this time against Jimmy Kimmel.

DNC Chair: "In the past…we've turned to our President to calm the storms, to heal the divides…Trump has done absolutely nothing in this moment to bring us together. Instead he has used political violence for political gain—including having his DOJ threaten to criminalize speech & stifle opposition."

I am sick and tired of losing friends to political violence. I know Republicans feel the same. In this moment, we need real leadership.

UPDATE—21 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Ro Khanna: "I agree with the UN commission's heartbreaking finding that there is a genocide in Gaza. What matters is what we do about it—stop military sales that are being used to kill civilians and recognize a Palestinian state."

Tonight in Washington DC — screening of "Under an Olive Tree," a film about 26-year-old American Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi, who was killed by Israeli soldiers last year. Ayşenur's family will be present.

Rep. Becca Balint: "I believe the Israeli government is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people. As the granddaughter of a man murdered in the Holocaust, it is not easy for me to say that. But the trauma of the Holocaust serves as a reminder of the power of speaking out."

The 20 members of Congress now calling Israel's genocide a "genocide":

NEW: 20 US politicians now say Israel is committing genocide. First Jewish members to do so— Bernie Sanders: "The intent is clear. The conclusion is inescapable: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza." Becca Balint: "…the trauma of the Holocaust serves as a reminder of the power of speaking out."

Note: While Nancy Mace pushes to censure Ilhan Omar, there's been relatively little pushback to Mace telling Jewish Democrat Sara Jacobs "I have a good surgeon if you ever want to get your nose done." ADL said Mace's remark echoes "a harmful stereotype" and urged members to respect each other.

NEW — 18 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. "As a member of Congress, I have a responsibility to name and speak against what is happening: this is genocide," says Texas Rep. Veronica Escobar. 514 members are currently genocide deniers.

NEW: A coalition of human rights and labor organizations, fan associations, athletes, and celebrities is launching a campaign to demand the soccer federations of Belgium, England, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Norway, Scotland, and Spain boycott Israel for killing hundreds of Palestinian athletes.

NEW: With Greg Casar, 17 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Former chairs (Jayapal, Pocan) & current chair (Casar) of the Congressional Progressive Caucus now call it genocide. 14 of 97 members of the CPC are calling it genocide. UN Commission today declared it genocide.

UN official says Israel's "deliberate shooting" of the single building where a fertility clinic was "immediately reminded me of the Rwanda genocide where I was a judge and where they ripped the bellies of pregnant women, pulled out the fetuses because they wanted to kill off the entire Tutsi group."

New — The Trump administration just issued an Executive Order to extend the delay on the TikTok ban to December 16, 2025

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

The UN just concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza in a groundbreaking new report, comparing it with the genocide in Rwanda. Watch this video with @premthakker.bsky.social who asked the American admin the same question, 30 years later: youtube.com/shorts/wymbK...

NEW: 16 members of Congress now say Israel is committing genocide. Today, the UN Commission on Inquiry joined Holocaust scholars, humanitarians, and Palestinians in declaring Israel to be committing genocide. 516 members of Congress are currently genocide denialists.

Remarkably blunt words from United Nations officials who just declared Israel is committing genocide: "Gaza will be with me for the rest of my life." "Netanyahu, like everything he says, is simply lying." "The treatment of children, the amputation without anesthetic…That will haunt me forever."

This also means that any media outlets not calling it “genocide” are openly disregarding the United Nations btw

It’s official: the United Nations Commission of Inquiry concludes Israel is committing genocide. The UN body calls on nations to stop sending weapons to Israel, ensure people within their jurisdiction aren’t aiding or inciting the genocide, and hold those who are accountable.

The Gilded Age star Morgan Spector — who joins Hannah Einbinder & Javier Bardem in boycotting Israeli film institutions implicated in the genocide — explains why he & others are speaking out despite industry pressures: "Israel wants to portray itself as David, Israel is Goliath."

Rashida Tlaib & Bernie Sanders introduce bill to "end outrageous CEO pay and combat corporate greed." Raise taxes on corporations that pay executives >50X the wages of workers. Cracks down on tax avoiding schemes like corporations outsourcing lower-paid jobs to contractors to hide pay disparities.

“Our protection—our military cover, our diplomatic cover—enables this.” Actor Morgan Spector opens up about his decision to speak out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Watch more of Morgan and Prem’s conversation here: zeteo.com/p/mahmoud-kh...

Note: Hannah Einbinder and Javier Bardem are two of 4,500+ film workers (including Ayo Edebiri, Brian Cox, Josh O'Connor, Mark Ruffalo, Tilda Swinton, Cynthia Nixon, and Morgan Spector) boycotting Israeli film institutions implicated in the genocide & apartheid of the Palestinian people

Just now as he hosts Charlie Kirk's show — live from the White House, alongside White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles — JD Vance says he would not have been Vice President without Charlie Kirk's efforts

Some thoughts on Charlie Kirk, “political violence,” James Baldwin, and the world we need to unmake and make

Hollywood Actors Cynthia Nixon and Morgan Spector, with protest leader Mahmoud Khalil, came to DC to demand Congress ‘Block the Bombs’ — a bill that would stop the US from sending offensive weapons to Israel. @premthakker.bsky.social followed them. Watch the full video: zeteo.com/p/mahmoud-kh...

Past 2 days: —Kirk killed; media falsely says suspect motivated by "trans ideology" —Antisemitic white supremacist shoots up Colorado school —13-year-old found w/ 23 guns & notes idolizing mass shooters —HBCUs, NYU get racist campus threats —Navy cadet shot after hitting cop he thought was a shooter

Yesterday, when the shooter was an imagined trans Muslim woke leftist, it was WAR. Today, when the shooter turns out to be a young, gun-toting white male and the son of a sheriff, it’s “pray.”

An hour before Charlie Kirk was shot, Nancy Mace told Jewish Democrat Sara Jacobs: “I have a good surgeon if you ever want to get your nose done.”

So either the authorities mistook arrows possibly referencing a video game as “transgender ideology,” or someone deliberately tried to mislead the public and shape the narrative to incite *more* violence — and the media and right-wing figureheads eagerly went along with it
