AOC: I’m very encouraged by statements from Senator Tillis and Senator Murkowski, but it is frankly very disturbing that we are not seeing more resistance across the board.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

On Alice’s commitment and dedication to raising awareness of the suffering in Gaza and tangible works to make positive impacts in these over two years of horrific mass atrocities - and the price she would pay for that unwavering commitment. It didn’t stop her.
We thank you, Alice. 🇵🇸♥️

Something everyone needs to know about @sfdirewolf.bsky.social Alice Wong was her commitment to Palestine. Just a year ago, she & I wrote a letter in @literaryhub.bsky.social defending six Palestinian journalists. Sadly, Alice now joins two of them on the other side: Anas al-Sharif & Hossam Shabat

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
