When Americans on Christmas sing “Oh Little Town of Bethlehem”, do they realize that their tax money and elected officials are contributing towards driving Christians out of the “little town of Bethlehem”

Next week, the Senate will vote on resolutions to block certain offensive arms sales to Israel. The carnage in Gaza has been carried out with U.S.-provided military equipment. Providing more offensive weapons to continue this disastrous war would be both immoral and illegal.

🚨Today @Meta proved its blatant complicity with genocide. They removed the account of @AnasAlSharif0 on Instagram (one which had more than a million following his reports). Understand that Anas along with other peers were directly targeted by Israel in execution attempts for their reporting. Meta is attempting to erase Anas from social media presence, a trademark of fascist regimes. This is a clear violation of right for press and right to exchange knowledge especially in such circumstances of apocalyptic scale. It is our duty to challenge and confront these policies which borrow from Israel’s military handbook of “perception shaping.” This should disturb so many of us and any hesitation to mobilize is participation in the slaughter of not just media personnel but thousands of Palestinians.

Tonight, Harris spent more time promoting fracking than laying out a bold vision for a clean energy future. That's a big missed opportunity. With an election this close, every young climate voter we turn out matters.

Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family. These are people…angels…I served alongside in Ukraine, Gaza, Turkey, Morocco, Bahamas, Indonesia. They are not faceless…they are not nameless. The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon. No more innocent lives lost. Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now.
We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team have been killed in an IDF attack while working to support our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza. This is a tragedy. Humanitarian aid workers and civilians should NEVER be a target. EVER.

As Israel loses in the court of public opinion, we see desperate attempts to widen the conflict. All with the blessing and material support of the #ButcherBiden, a US President who claims Irish descent. Keep our country out of your mouth, @JoeBiden. Your ancestors disown you.

Sat. 1,000+ members of more than 15 unions + their allies answered the call of Palestinian trade unions, marching for a permanent ceasefire, and an end to military aid to Israel and the occupation of Palestine! It was the 1st rally of its kind in the country, but not the last! 🧵

New @RashidaTlaib statement. You could poll this whole thing and probably find 85% support for all of it, yet she’s on track to get censured
