153 Democrats just joined 188 Republicans to pass HR 7006, which
•Sends $3.3B to Israel (including offensive weapons)
•Bans any attempt at Palestinian liberation
•Sends $50M to Venezuela
Only 57 Democrats voted no.
Americans still don't have healthcare.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

"[Western Sahara] was colonized by Spain. And when Spain left in 1975, Morocco invaded, with the complicity and support of the United States ... and many other countries. There was a war after that, with Sahrawi trying to liberate it and decolonize their territory. They were bombed with napalm."
Activists are shining a light on Morocco’s brutal occupation of Western Sahara and its Indigenous people, the Sahrawi. Morocco has occupied Western Sahara since 1975 in defiance of the United Nations and the international community.

Trump held up a printed picture of people lifting body bags and said, "These are all white farmers that are being buried.”
The image actually shows humanitarian workers burying bodies in the city of Goma in Democratic Republic of Congo. They are not white, not farmers, and not South African.
