My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

JFC. The state party is running for the right. They are so terrified of anything connected to the word socialist that they will shut down the vote engine for the state. Good luck filling state wide offices with Democrats if you destroy the Minneapolis DFL. Unbelievable.

How can the richest country in the world do this to itself?
To see a rich country like the US essentially sacrifice its own children to preventable disease, all to appease some hateful eugenicists, fantasists and conspiracy theorists, makes my stomach churn.

“A lot of times, you know, babies don’t cough; they just stop breathing,” warned Mississippi State Health Officer Dr. Dan Edney as he discussed Mississippi's first infant death from whooping cough in 13 years.

Mississippi Baby Dies of Whooping Cough Amid Rising Cases

A baby in Mississippi has died of whooping cough for the first time since 2012. The baby was less than two months old—too young for vaccination.

I don’t even know if they’ve set a date yet, but I’m sure they will figure it out to not violate any residency requirements. Unlike the people that have been recruited from other areas to run in Minneapolis by certain big money PACs.

There are so many legitimate options here. They are both adults and since she’s not giving up her seat, I’m sure Aaron eventually will, his term is up at the end of next year. He doesn’t have to sell his house, he could rent it out. Just because it’s not on the market doesn’t mean squat.

I remember when they redid the streets in Bryn Mawr when I was a kid and there were weeks where the pavement was completely smooth, they hadn’t put the grippy gravel on it yet, and we pulled skateboards behind our bikes like water skiers.

We need more of this. We can’t let them write the script. It was detained immigrants who were targeted and killed not law-enforcement. It was the dangerous rhetoric of this hateful president and his cronies not of the left calling them out on their illegal and immoral actions.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @crockett.house.gov · 14d

Today’s tragedy at the Dallas ICE Field Office shows how dangerous anti-immigrant rhetoric has become. Words that dehumanize don’t just poison politics — they fuel violence. My thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones as we work with officials for clarity and accountability.
