New: Police arrested human rights lawyer Noura Erakat during Palm Beach County budget hearing. Over 100 residents were giving comments against the county’s $1 billion investment in Israel bonds. One commissioner told a protesting veteran he was an embarrassment to his uniform.

As we mark 25 years since 9/11, we hold close the memory of the lives lost and must commit to fighting bigotry and an end to militarism at home and abroad.

The DSA promotes anti-capitalist and anti-Western policies that challenge core American institutions. It also recently adopted one of its most anti-Israel platforms yet. Please watch the clip below.

Replying to @RepMGP
Just stop with your nonsense and gaslighting. It is absolutely shameful, unacceptable, and frankly unheard of to crossover to vote for a GOP rule to advance their anti-working families agenda.

I am so full of gratitude for what our campaign accomplished for South Florida. We built a popular movement and organizing infrastructure that will outlast one single campaign. Over 500 volunteers. Nearly 23,000 donors. Over 40,000 doors knocked and over 750,000 calls. 16,284 South Floridians who cast their votes for our campaign. Thank you to all of our volunteers, donors, voters, and everyone who believes South Florida is worth fighting for. We did this for the community and the people that we love, and we made the rest of the country take notice. It was an honor campaigning by @AngieNixon’s side in the homestretch of this primary campaign, and I am overjoyed that Floridians have chosen her as the Democratic nominee for United States Senate. A working class mom of five. A union organizer. And yes, a democratic socialist. Her victory has buoyed my spirit and so many among our campaign tonight. Our movement has never been about one person or one election. It is about building a popular mass movement for the issues that make a material difference in people’s lives: Medicare for All. A living wage of $25 an hour. Universal childcare. Paid family and medical leave. Free college. A Green New Deal. Abolishing ICE. Abolishing college loan and medical debt. Affordable housing. Unions for all. Ending U.S. military aid for genocide, apartheid, and war crimes so we can invest our taxpayer dollars in our communities where they belong. I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished, and I don’t feel an ounce of regret. This campaign has changed my life. Thank you @BrowardDSA, @MiamiDSA, @PalmBeachDSA, and @DemSocialists across America. Thank you to all of our endorsers—the organizations, unions, and individuals who lent our campaign your support and solidarity. Challenging entrenched power is never easy. I hope we honored your support with the disciplined and vigorous campaign that made your investments of time, energy, resources, and political capital worthwhile. Earlier this evening, I called Rep. Moskowitz to congratulate him on his renomination and shared my support to keep FL-25 blue in November to help win a Democratic House majority and remove Mike Johnson as House Speaker. Our points of disagreement are strong, but my desire to keep this seat out of Scott Singer’s hands is stronger. I hope our nominee will do what is necessary to welcome our coalition into his campaign to earn every Democratic vote possible. Florida has an opportunity to make history in November when we send the incredible Angie Nixon to the U.S. Senate, and I look forward to spending the days between now and November 3 working to make that happen. She is truly an inspiration. The work has only just begun. Before I was a candidate for Congress, I was a volunteer, an organizer, an activist. And someday, the seeds our campaign planted will blossom with a new generation of candidates grown from the ranks of the grassroots organization we’ve built. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who shared our belief that Florida is not a punchline, but a place full of working class people who are deserving of dignity, respect, and representation. We will draw from this deep well of love in the months ahead for our strength and nourishment as we move ahead to transform our state and the United States of America. Solidarity forever. A better world is possible. ❤️🌹🇺🇸

What do Zohran Mamdani, Abdul El-Sayed, Peggy Flanagan and Angie Nixon have in common? They all ran strong progressive grassroots campaigns.  They were all heavily outspent. THEY ALL WON. The establishment has the money. We have the people. When we stand together, we win.

So incredibly proud of the campaign that my friend @OliverALarkin ran in FL's 25th Congressional district! Thank you, Oliver for stepping up and giving working families in South Florida a real voice. As someone who grew up in South Florida, I couldn't have been prouder of Oliver's campaign for running on issues and priorities that are rarely discussed in South Florida politics such as getting money out of politics, supporting Medicare for All, ending our endless wars, and calling to end military support to the Israeli government. I want to express my deepest gratitude to Oliver and his entire team. Thank you for prioritizing voters over corporate interests and running a campaign that inspired so many across the country. I have no doubt that this is just the beginning-—the fight to organize a better Florida continues. #FL25 ✊🏻

Absolutely.
If Oliver Larkin gets anywhere within a 20 point margin against Moskowitz as a DSA candidate in FL-25 it'll be incredible, a win would be a legitimate miracle. Adjust your expectations Even Elijah Manley is in a very difficult race against Debbie Wasserman Schultz today,

There has been a very unfortunate and deliberate smear campaign of political intimidation from elements within the Florida Democratic Party throughout this campaign that we have kept under wraps, because I don’t believe the actions of a few hateful individuals are representative of the party as a whole. But now that the DPCF has made this statement—yes, our paid sponsorship of the Democratic LBGTQ+ Caucus annual conference was met with a smear on the caucus website. I did not publicize this because the caucus president took swift action to remove the post and personally apologize with genuine remorse. I am a staunch ally of the LGBTQ+ community, I don’t believe the individual responsible for the website sponsorship updates represents the views of the caucus as a whole, and I did not want to take action that would reflect negatively upon the caucus. And yes, two state committee members told Bernard Taylor and I to “shut the f*** up” at Leadership Blue as we were speaking privately about which college campuses are within our respective congressional districts. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence that it was two older white members saying that to a Black candidate. The FDP has an anti-Black racism problem. It has an Islamophobia problem. And it appears to have a problem with the exercise of democracy in party primaries. This concerted campaign to smear and intimidate progressive candidates for standing up for human rights and a foreign policy that abides by US and international law is reprehensible coming from a party that purports to support progressive causes. I’m sharing this now to make clear these tactics are unacceptable—from character assassination in official FDP materials to attempts to cancel a GOTV rally against the very spirit of the First Amendment. The people of Florida deserve better than this. Solidarity with @BTForCongress @AngieNixon @iElijahManley and our amazing slate of progressive candidates.
The Florida Democratic Progressive Caucus has put out a statement slamming the Dem lawmaker who allied with Laura Loomer to get an event with @RashidaTlaib canceled. Some quite unusual details in it, worth the read... Their statement: The Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida President Matthew Grocholske has condemned State Representative Michael Gottlieb over his Islamophobic and racially charged language used in reference to an event hosting Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib. “State Representative Gottlieb's comments yesterday were a disgrace to the Democratic Party of Florida. Gottlieb dismissed Elijah Manley’s Jewish faith and demonized members of Florida’s Muslim community in various Facebook comments.” said Matthew Grocholske, President of the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida. “Unfortunately, leaders within the Democratic Party of Florida remain silent as an intensification of assaults come towards Florida’s progressive, black, and Muslim constituencies.” In earlier incidents this year, a State Committeeperson yelled at both Oliver Larkin and Bernard Taylor, two Congressional candidates running on firm anti-genocide platforms, to “shut the f**k up” while attending the party’s Leadership Blue Gala, despite being quiet. The party took no corrective action despite repeated requests to do so. A State Party Caucus leader smeared Oliver Larkin after he sent a sponsorship package towards them as “Oliver the Antisemite” on the caucus’ official sponsorship recognition page for their conference. While the President of the Caucus apologized for the remarks and removed the slanderous title, the State Party in itself never apologized or seeked to rectify the behavior of the Caucus leader. An additional incident took place where a State Caucus President physically threatened to punch our Caucus Secretary, a teenager. While the State Caucus President apologized, it had to be formally addressed by our Caucus in a meeting. However, this again, led to no corrective action from the Party, instead leaders called him "brave" for admitting to the act of threatening physical violence. Additionally, the Caucus has internally attempted to push the Florida Democratic Party to address incidents including Rachel Vindmans’ comments regarding State Representative Angie Nixon, the attempt from some Democratic Party leaders to exile members of the Democratic Socialists of America from the Party, and more to no avail. “A pattern of assault, harassment, and intimidation is what our Caucus has repeatedly felt over the past year. In contentious primaries, Democrats are better than this. It is abundantly clear that under the leadership of our State Party Chair, Nikki Fried, that this Party has not built a safe and secure environment for voters from underserved communities. I hope things change over the period of this coming weekend with our primaries on Tuesday.” said Matthew Grocholske. “The Democratic Party is best because of its diversity, support of marginalized communities and the working class, but it’s become abundantly clear under current leadership that those strengths aren’t important to them.”

Echoing my colleagues @mattduss and @WajahatAli. I managed and co-authored CAP's Fear, Inc. 2.0 anti-Islamophobia report that served as a follow up to the initial report & examination of the Islamophobia network's efforts to spread misinformation and propaganda about Islam and American Muslims. I was disgusted to see CAP's president actively promoting a notorious Islamophobe and endorsing the "taqiyya" trope. We demand an explanation from CAP @amprog.
CAP, which published the anti Islamophobia report Fear INC, which I co-authored, has its president @neeratanden now actively promoting the biggest proponent of Islamophobia. The Center urgently needs to clarify whether there has been a change in position and policy. Do you all approve of this? If so, why???

Marco Rubio declared this woman and her teenage son a “threat to foreign policy” and had them arrested and locked in an ICE prison for months not because of anything THEY did, but because her husband’s mother was a top Iranian official during the 1970s hostage crisis. Seriously.
