It's been 51 days since ANY humanitarian aid has entered Gaza. Israeli Minister of Defense Katz has said: "Israel’s policy is clear: no humanitarian aid will enter Gaza."
This is a war crime.
We must end our complicity. NO more military aid for Netanyahu's war machine.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.
Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.
The US must end its complicity.
Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

Well, there goes the slim hope that the last couple months were just part of a really amazingly elaborate April Fools’ joke.

Medicare for All isn't radical.
What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.
Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid:
- Millions of children will lose their health care.
- Funding for community health centers will dry up.
- Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need.
That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour.
Let's steal those ideas.

No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.
