I have two trans kids. I'm not gonna be okay with anyone who says, "Hey, we need to think about the bigger picture here" when that includes not only NOT protecting my kids, but actively harming them. If your Dem candidate is also going to kill my children, they are not an improvement.

@olivia-reingold.bsky.social "It’s not that there isn’t hunger in Gaza. There is. The World Health Organization reported 63 deaths from malnutrition last month alone, including 25 children" That is not "hunger" it is called starvation, disabled kids can also be starved. This is an ableist report

If you vote NO on a bill aiming to remove funds from any part of Israel's genocidal army including "defense domes", that is the same as voting yes to fund Israel's army. The math is off AOC - your vote IS one that supports sending funds towards genocide.

@kbardeesy.bsky.social your silence specifically on the genocide in Gaza speaks volumes. Why have you not endorsed and acted on a full 2-way arms embargo? Why do Palestinians not deserve your support as humans who deserve right to life? You won't even engage with their reality of daily slaugther?
