Be careful, when a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health. —Albert Camus

The other resignees & I issued a statement calling for a new policy "This failed policy has not achieved its stated objectives—it has not made Israelis any safer, it has emboldened extremists.. while it has been devastating for the Palestinian people" 1 jointstatement.tiiny.site

He advocated for invading Iraq. It was a disaster. He advocated for killing the Iran nuclear deal. It was a disaster. He advocated for a strategy that used Hamas as a counterweight to the PA. It was a disaster. Stop treating Netanyahu as if he’s a savant. He has no clue.

Pleased to announce that our research on PFAS in pesticides is finally out This is a multigenerational threat. The true harm won’t be realized in my lifetime, but in my children’s and grandchildren’s lifetimes. Our shortcomings should not be their burden to bear

It’s *because* of my Jewish upbringing and values that I cannot attend Prime Minister Netanyahu’s address today. Read more about my decision in my op-ed here: msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-…

I’m sure the think pieces are going to start flying about Rep. Tlaib, but I need people to think for about five seconds how they would feel if the person whose policies prevented you from seeing your grandmother before she passed showed up at your place of work. 1/

People need to realize Israel/ Gaza is not just a "one issue" thing. Or just a foreign policy issue. It encompasses a multitude of litmus tests for America around free speech, journalist freedom, American militarism, policing, protest, foreign interference, and yes, racism.

Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech today was a narcissistic and unproductive act of political theater, heavy on spin and saber-rattling - cynically using soldiers and hostages as props. 1/8

What we just witnessed makes my skin creep: An immoral political stunt so bloody in its consequences it has revealed the current US-Israel "alliance" to be a perversion of what the partnership began as, to be an unholy collaboration in support of hate-driven extremism.

I will never back down in speaking truth to power. The apartheid government of Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. Palestinians will not be erased. Solidarity with all those outside of these walls in the streets protesting and exercising their right to dissent.

It makes me physically sick that the US Congress applauded the genocidal war criminal Netanyahu. Israel is on trial for countless war crimes & crimes against humanity, including genocide, and these pathetic, callous assholes applaud him. They have blood on their hands.

I sure love getting lectured about free speech and the founding fathers by leaders of other countries, in govt buildings I pay for with my tax dollars. responsiblestatecraft.org/netanyahu-spee…

Let's hope that Kamala Harris's absence from Netanyahu's speech to Congress reflects a broader break from his war crimes in Gaza and his efforts to preclude a Palestinian state (preferring endless apartheid). nytimes.com/2024/07/23/us/…

Jeff Crisp Half of Democrats boycotted & they weren’t present to be photographed (in fact their seats were often filled by supportive attendees whom others invited) so the standing ovation picture doesn’t reflect reality. Still, your point holds. A strong majority of Congress was present.

They’re under the influence of toxic mythology, a potent drug that induces collective sleepwalking and blood thirstiness upon waking. Its complex ingredients are distilled from religion, nationalism, greed, settler-colonialist entitlement, and paradoxically, a story of victimhood

Yes, for years Netanyahu has been trying to drag the U.S. into fighting Iran and Israel’s other fronts

Trump bringing up the VP’s identity is a specific dog whistle for a particular sector w/ the Black community. The ADOS & FBA community. It’s a pointed gambit designed to siphon votes from her otherwise strongest base. It won’t work & truthfully it does more harm than good. A 🧵
