HI CHICAGO

I went to the launch party of Zioness, a new Dem-targeted pro-Israel political fund, which promised to be raucous and overflowing with a starstudded congressional cast. What I found was a very unhappy Mondaire Jones, few people, and anxiety about Kamala. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Hearing that the DNC will NOT allow a Palestinian American speaker on the main stage. They say “we’re not leaving until we get a Palestinian American accepted to speak.”

Happening now: Uncommitted leader says “I’m not going anywhere.” He sat down and is refusing to move until he gets a call that Kamala Harris is changing her mind and will allow for a Palestinian American to be heard on main stage.

Short confrontation between #DNCConvention2024 attendees after Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 staged a sit-in in response to the Harris campaign declining their request to platform a Palestinian American on the main stage.

"We were told last night, that it's unlikely we'll get a concession because this is the biggest speech of VP Harris’ life, and this day cannot be defined by this movement." - Waleed Shahid 🪬 of Uncommitted National Movement 🌺
