Chris Smalls—a Black American labor leader—was trying to feed Palestinians being starved in Gaza. The IDF detained and beat him for it.
This assault must not go unnoticed and he must be freed immediately.
Israel must be held to account. Let aid through. End the genocide.

At the Israeli prison, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs.
We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced. #BreakTheSiege

A million people are about to die of starvation in Gaza because of the Israeli government's genocidal policies, fully backed by the US, and I just want to say that I am going to remember each and every person who never spoke out publicly. I will never forget or forgive.

This is the kind of thing that would be immediately obvious if you’ve ever spoken with a “low information voter.”
Democrats didn’t go too far left. The people on the bottom thought they went too soft against the people on top.

EXCLUSIVE: Democratic voters who skipped the 2024 election favor candidates like Bernie Sanders and AOC. Polling shows they believe inequality is at the heart of America’s problems and health care should be available to everyone.

New research suggests the prevailing wisdom in Washington — the idea that Democrats tacked too far to the left last year — might be wrong.

I just met with Mohsen Mahdawi where he’s being held in Vermont.
He was detained when he showed up for his citizenship interview.
He should be released so he can become a citizen.

"And you have to ask yourself: are they technically aiding and abetting them? Because aiding and abetting criminals and terrorists is a crime in federal statute."

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.
No one knows why he was detained.

Dial 202-224-3121 and ask for your Democratic senator(s) and tell them they have a chance to hold the line for the Constitution by voting against the Republican continuing resolution, or vote for it and support the death of Congress as a coequal branch. These calls matter.

If Trump wanted to weaken America from within, this is the way: tanking our economy and destroying our relationship with our closest friend and neighbor, as well as the stability that comes from the longest unsecured border in the world.

The world's richest man is illegally shutting down the government while the president is disappearing people for speech he doesn't like and the vice president is telling Congress that the president won't respect the funding levels they set anyway.

This is why we must fight for everyone. Whether they’ve been incarcerated or have had contact with the criminal legal system or are merely undocumented. When you accept that some people are deserving of detention and deportation the scope of who is eligible is always under threat of expanding.

It's a standard authoritarian playbook to target the most marginalized groups with the least institutional support first. But Trump won't stop there. He will expand these illegal arrests, detentions and deportations to include anyone whose speech he doesn't like, including U.S. citizens.
My fear is that the Trump administration arrested Mahmoud Khalil to make an example out of him because they’re gambling Dems won’t put their jobs and lives on the line to protect a Palestinian.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Every lawmaker needs to go on record: Do you support using immigration status as a weapon against political dissent?
Green card holders have due process rights—the president can’t just strip someone’s status bc they don’t like what they say. This is unconstitutional & authoritarian, full stop.

DHS confirms that it arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University graduate student. They say that ICE arrested him in coordination with the State Department in order to enforce President Donald Trump's executive order to deport student protesters.

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was demolished by Musk’s team shortly after midnight. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 billion.
