The IDF detained congressional candidate Lander and his group simply for being part of the olive harvest in the West Bank. Instead of protecting Palestinians from the violent marauding Israeli settler groups, this is how they operate. It’s unacceptable.
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

I was proud to join Michigan Jews for Democracy in Detroit last night to talk about why I’m supporting @AbdulElSayed for Senate. With antisemitism rising, Abdul has shown a real commitment to Jewish safety. He’s the right choice for our community and our country.

This morning, I was honored to vote early with the legendary @RepSchakowsky! This election is far too important to sit on the sidelines. Early voting has expanded across Illinois, be sure to find your polling place and make your plan to vote now ➡️ iwillvote.com/il

Today is my last day as mayor of the City of Evanston. These last 5+ years have been an incredible privilege, and I have learned so much from the people of this great community. Thank you, Evanston. danielbiss.substack.com/p/wh…

I stand with Chicagoland’s Hindu community after last weekend's thwarted attack on the temple in Aurora. Thank you to law enforcement and neighbors who intervened. Violence and hate against Indian Americans is unacceptable, and it's on all of us to speak out and stop it.

Raiding the home of Congresswoman Omar based on a decades-old alleged paperwork error is part of Trump’s escalating effort to stoke fear and chaos and repress dissent. This is authoritarianism. I hope political officials - Republicans and Democrats - will make clear that this is unacceptable. I stand with Ilhan Omar. apnews.com/article/ilhan-oma…

Today we mourn those killed during the horrific October 7 attacks and all those killed since in Israel and Palestine. There can be no progress toward justice or peace if we fail to recognize the killing of civilians anywhere. My commitment continues to be to a future where both Israelis and Palestinians live in peace, security, and the dignity of self-determination.

What happened in Evanston last month wasn't isolated. Trump’s federal agents have arrested, detained, and violated the Constitutional rights of hundreds of American citizens. Congress must hold the Trump administration accountable.
The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD ⬇️

We are beyond fortunate to have @peerservicesinc here in our community, providing the resources for substance abuse recovery. It was wonderful to join everyone yesterday morning for their annual Step Up for Recovery walk!

Trump spent $20 million of DHS funds — the same department that has terrorized our communities — to air campaign ads about himself. While we struggle to afford groceries and housing, he's using our tax dollars to feed his ego. That’s corruption. And it’s exactly why we need to win. wsj.com/politics/policy/home…

Tune in to my Substack tomorrow at 11 a.m. CT for a live conversation about AI regulation! I'm excited to be joined by @SnehaRevanur, founder and president of Encode — a youth organization advocating for the regulation of artificial intelligence.

It's encouraging to see folks like @GregCasar, @BernieSanders and others taking bold steps to be proactive about the threats posed by AI. We're gonna need a lot more of this energy to rein in Big Tech and get us all on a responsible path forward.
The movement to ban artificial superintelligence is growing. Here are the first 10 House co-sponsors of my bill with Sen. Sanders to ban ASI. Thank you: @RepYassAnsari @RepAOC @RepDeluzio @RepChuyGarcia @Rep_Grijalva @RepValHoyle @RepRoKhanna @RepStephenLynch @RepAnalilia @NydiaVelazquez
