The DNC had 2 Gaza resolutions:
A status quo one
A stronger one (arms embargo, suspend military aid, recognize Palestine). Proponents even offered a version only on "offensive" arms
Still, the DNC voted for former & against latter.
…And then it withdrew the resolution, to open a Task Force instead.

So just to keep track: Trump justified detaining students who protested & wrote op-eds because they're "flight risks." And then he lets a top Israeli official facing felony charges for child sex crimes just fly back to Israel. All while still refusing to release the Epstein files

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.
And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

Asked about Americans killed by Israel, a Senator said she supports Israel.
Then Israeli settlers killed another American.
Then the Trump admin said it confronted Netanyahu about it.

Why Do Our Politicians Care More About Israel Than Americans?
I was astonished by the lack of response when I asked senators about the deadly beating of a 20-year-old American by Israeli settlers.

Powerful firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG) was being paid $1M/month to help Israel give their genocide a PR facelift. BCG worked with Israeli officials to design & launch the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, condemned as a death trap by the UN & Palestinian leaders.

Matt Miller says Israel has 'without doubt' committed war crimes in Gaza.
But last year, @premthakker.bsky.social asked the State Dept why it wouldn’t enforce its own laws in response to Israeli war crimes.
Miller responded by personally attacking him, suggesting he had ulterior motives.

The “filibuster” was all performative…
Just a few weeks ago people were pitching Cory Booker as a front runner for the 2028 Dem presidential nomination.
Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.
Sheesh.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

Arab and Muslim Americans deserve the dignity of not being coerced or forced into endorsing with their votes the genocide of their friends and family.
Telling people to ignore the deaths of their loved ones because they're going to die anyway is evil.
