Thank you for having the courage to be on the right side of history.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gazaâthe best way to get food to starving people thereâso Jordan is delivering some with air drops. The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
"Anybody who tells you that people aren't starving in Gaza is lying to you." -Sen. Van Hollen. Proud of my senator for stepping up and saying that. It needs to be said. Its not a mistake, its a lie.
NEW: CNN's now publicly released video analysis shows Israel's 'double-tap' attack on Nasser Hospital was, in fact, actually a triple-tap. They bombed the hospital, and then fired upon the rescue team and journalists with not one but two more shells.
DC statehood now.
They no longer claim to not bomb hospitals - they first bomb patients and then bomb those who come to rescue the injured. Evil beyond words...
Fuck the IOF forever. After bombing the hospital, their airstrike murders the medics and journalists who arrive to assist/document. No words...
Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families. We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.
I made a promise to the women of Illinois â as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
Leading global experts just confirmed what weâve long known: Gaza is in famine. At least half a million Palestinians are facing starvation, acute malnutrition and death. And itâs likely to spread. The U.S. government is not a bystander to this genocide. We can end it today.
UN-backed experts declare famine in and around Gaza City
Ok but what about the genocide your AIPAC bosses are endorsing?
ââOh look, it's couch-fucker,â one person shouted in a video shared on social media. Another added, âYou gonna fuck a couch, buddy?â As the heckling escalated, chants of âGo fuck a couch, JD Vance!â and âpussy boyâ filled the busy train station.â www.complex.com/life/a/marke...
Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention. The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.

Perhaps, one day, schoolkids will study this squalid little chapter in British terror-panic history. When they do, I hope these two headlines from today are printed side by side, with clear annotation of which individual faced more outrage and condemnation.
"The people we starved to death were already kinda like that" is morally indistinguishable from holocaust denial
Iâm kind of speechless with this one. I canât imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesnât count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.
Sally Rooney: I support Palestine Action. If this makes me a âsupporter of terrorâ under UK law, so be it
Wow Sally Rooney. Fair play. âI feel obliged to state once more that⊠I too support Palestine Action. ⊠If the British state considers this "terrorism", then perhaps it should investigate the shady organisations that continue to promote my work and fund my activities, such as WH Smith and the BBC.â
Say what you want but it's a real coup for Jiminy Glick to be able to interview a head of state like this.
Endorse Mamdani
You are an unlikeable ghoul, and if you had any political sense you would be begging Mamdani to let you campaign with him.
Cool. When are you going to denounce AIPAC and stop taking their money?

A reminder that the Israeli government does not allow any international journalist into Gaza. Thatâs how they have killed more journalists than most conflicts combined since WWII while claiming that all the journalists theyâve killed were actually enemy combatants.
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.
Israel killed Anas more than a year after targeting and killing his family, including his 90-year-old father, because of his journalism. Comes after Israel killed Hossam Shabat (so young, born in 2001), Roshdi Sarraj, Ismail Al-Ghoul, Wael Dahdouhâs family, among 200+ others.
And on homelessness, for that single mom and her kids heâs crying crocodile tears for: In a spat w/Bloomberg, Cuomo eliminated state funding for a rental voucher program known as Advantage, that helped people move out of shelter. The result: homelessness spiked. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV. Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.
Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. Itâs disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.
Hey @andrewcuomo: Is it true that you spoke to Donald Trump about clearing the right-wing lane for you? When? What did you promise him in return? New Yorkers deserve to know. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...
new video shows the ICE agent who claimed he was randomly "assaulted" by this 4'11" US citizen on her way to work is shown literally picking her up and carrying her away.
âNo one should act surprised,â says UN expert who warned of starvation in Gaza last year
The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.
Why didnât you support Senator Sandersâ resolution to block arm sales to Israel? Do you support the genocidal Israeli regimeâs starvation of babies and children?
Eww
Israel destroyed a Palestinian seed bank today. This is such a specific kind of evil, targeting literal hope for the future. Attempting to further alienate Palestinians from their home and land. So much destroyed just for the sake of destroying. It's awful.
By failing to sanction Israel, EU leaders are complicit in its crimes. They must act now | Josep Borrell
Whether through indifference, incompetence, or political calculation, these leaders have allowed atrocities to unfold slowly, often being paid by the Israeli lobby to provide political cover for Israelâs war crimes. By @abemarquez.bsky.social The full story: lataco.com/politicians-...
If you believe all human beings are created bâtzelem Elohim, in Godâs image, then you must speak up now against the daily atrocities in Gaza. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...
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.
Israelâs blockade on Gaza has inflicted famine conditions on Palestinians, w/ hundreds dying by starvation, & thousands more on the brink of death. On Monday, 8/4 at 6:30PM, we will gather for a mass Jewish rally: no more starvation, no more genocide. jfrej.org/jewssaynomore

By a vote of 27-17, Senate Democrats voted to stop sending arms shipments to a Netanyahu government which has waged a horrific, immoral and illegal war against the Palestinian people. The tide is turning. Americans don't want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza.
27 Senators; more than a quarter of the Senate and 57% of the Democratic caucus! Pleasantly surprised by Rhode Island's Senators and Amy Klobuchar. Also good to see of the 5 new Senators, the 3 from blue states (Kim, Alsobrooks, Blunt Rochester) voted for this despite generally being moderates.
The Israeli Defense Forces surrounded, beat, and choked American labor leader Chris Smalls, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition announced
Thank you, Senator.
Tonight, I voted YES on two bills to block offensive weapons transfers to Israel. One blocks bombs and guidance kits used to level homes and hospitals in Gaza. The other stops assault rifles from getting in the hands of extremist forces enabling settler violence in the West Bank.
A record 27 Senatorsâmost of the Democratic caucusâjust voted to block new arms sales to Israel. Itâs a new high water mark for holding Israel accountable in Congress, mirroring rising voter sentiment against subsidizing and arming Israeli violations of US and international law.
Tonight, I will vote to block arms sales to Israel amid the famine in Gaza. Starving children and innocent civilians to death is a moral atrocity that cannot abide the conscience of those who believe in human dignity. The Netanyahu administration must change course.
Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution â an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security. My statement on Canadaâs recognition of a Palestinian state:

Genocide from starvation apparently doesn't count if there was a preexisting condition according to the New York Times.
wapo.st/3IRLZn6 No way should they have this behind a paywall, but here's a gift link. These numbers are still impossible to comprehend.
The UNâs World Food Programme said the crisis is âunlike anything seen in this centuryâ. #GCNnews
Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.
This is a PR stunt that lets Israelâs genocide continue. Meanwhile David Lammy wonât expel the Israeli ambassador, end all trade, implement a full arms embargo, stop surveillance flights or UK training of Israeli soldiers. Empty gestures fool no one. He belongs in The Hague.
One in three children in Gaza City is acutely malnourished, reaching the threshold for famine, said a UN-backed panel. www.ft.com/content/bedd...
Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. đ
Israeli public figures call for âcrippling sanctionsâ on Israel over Gaza starvation
In a sane world, every newspaper would run on A1 tomorrow: âIDF THREAT: IF JOURNALISTS PHOTOGRAPH GAZA, WE WILL STARVE GAZAâ
đšNEW: The Israeli government banned journalists on their PR aid flight from filming Gaza from above. They told journalists the air drops would be cancelled if they broadcast any footage of the destruction below. A rogue state trying to hide its genocide. Israel wonât ever come back from all this.
For @forward.com, I wrote about how we know that Israel has been withholding food as a military tactic because Israeli officials have said versions of âwe are withholding food as a military tacticâ for the entirety of the war and pretending otherwise is willful ignorance forward.com/opinion/7586...
Truly a new low: Pro-Israel media outlets are now arguing that a viral image of a starving and emaciated Palestinian boy is unfair because he's not *just* starving, but he also has genetic disorders.
Israel committing genocide in Gaza, say Israel-based human rights groups
Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries â leading to even more deaths. ENOUGH. I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:
85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity. There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.
Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.
Iâm repulsed by the genocide in Gaza, and even more repulsed by the people who pretend to justify it under the banner of defeating anti-semitism. This will not stop anti-semitism. In fact it will only exacerbate it, and at great speed. All while millions of Gazans starve and die for no good reason.
Israel needs to be stopped....
Kneecap is not the story. Genocide in Gaza is.
The IOF is about to illegally attack the Gaza freedom flotilla 'Handala' in international waters. It's crime.....bringing food and baby formula to starving kids Support here: instagram.com/gazafreedomfloâŠ
