Quoting MLK to justify a cynical effort to unseat the only Black man representing Westchester & one of the few in Congress who stand for the human rights of Palestinians is repulsive. It’s time to organize with electoral force. Donate to @JamaalBowmanNY: secure.actblue.com/donate/aoc-soc… twitter.com/akela_lacy/sta…

Opposing the policies of the government of Israel and Netanyahu’s extremism is not antisemitic. Speaking up for human rights and a ceasefire to save lives should never be condemned. I voted against H. Res. 894.

AOC: Right now you can tell how weak their arguments are because they are grasping for straws trying to do their best, My Cousin Vinny impersonation as to breaking down what happened here with a fire alarm.

AOC: NY Republicans are so embarrassed that they propped up George Santos, got him elected, and then had to turn around and vote to expel him that they want to distract the world from their massive embarrassment. They have not accomplished a damn things for New Yorkers

Targeting trans children for playing sports makes all women, whether trans or cisgender, less safe. Sex testing is regressive, invasive, discriminatory, and a fundamental violation of our privacy as women and as Americans. This is shameful.

AOC: We’re supposed to sit here and see a party that has voted against women’s access to abortion, equal pay, the violence against women act, against our right to have access to contraception… and I’m supposed to believe they’re looking out for my best interests? I think not

Rep. Nadler: "The resolution states that all anti-Zionism is antisemitism. That's intellectually disingenuous or factually wrong…The authors if they were at all familiar with Jewish history & culture should know about Jewish anti-Zionism that was + is expressly not antisemitic." twitter.com/ryangrim/statu…

Republicans constantly justify drilling by promising big economic payouts. But drilling in the Arctic Refuge — a historically protected area — was supposed to generate billions in revenue to pay for Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In the end, it only generated $6 million.

The reason GOP don’t want a public hearing on Hunter Biden is because @OversightDems have hoisted them by their own petards in every public hearing this year. They’re scared of getting humiliated for not having an actual case (again), so they need to hide. There’s your answer🕵🏽‍♀️ twitter.com/acyn/status/17…

The fact that in the US just *1* wealthy person can make a call and offer millions to unseat an official they dislike tells you everything about the corruption of our politics. It also tells you why the tiny # of members who have managed to beat them are seen as such a threat. twitter.com/nicholaswu12/s…

Remember all the TV pundits and Wall Street insiders who said these UAW raises were functionally impossible, unrealistic demands? Now it’s a done deal. Amazing what courage, solidarity, and ingenuity can do. Congratulations, @UAW 🎊 twitter.com/MorePerfectUS/…

The Netanyahu government, or hopefully a new Israeli government, must understand that not one penny will be coming to Israel from the U.S. unless there is a fundamental change in their military and political positions. Read my statement:

NEW—With Rep. Jamie Raskin, 37 members of Congress are now calling for a ceasefire. That’s a +13 increase since the Reuters poll was released three days ago, showing 68% of Americans supporting a ceasefire, including about 75% of Democrats and 50% of Republicans.

Conditioning aid to Israel, as we do with virtually all other US allies, is a responsible course of action. The United States has a legal and moral responsibility to ensure that public resources do not facilitate gross violations of human rights and international law. twitter.com/politico/statu…

My statement on the need for a negotiated ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.

My statement on the safe return of hostages and support towards a ceasefire agreement:

American Airlines flight attendants are on the picket line at LGA and across the country demanding a fair contract. It is unacceptable that some of the same attendants who care for us the skies must resort to sleeping in cars because their pay is so low. Stand with @APFAunity💪🏽 twitter.com/UnionDrip/stat…

Rep. Becca Balint is now the first Jewish member of Congress to come out in favor of a ceasefire in Gaza. She is incredibly brave, taking a stance rooted in her commitment to human rights and protection of the innocent. Read her words. Support her. Proud to call her a friend. twitter.com/RepBeccaB/stat…

Criticism of the Israeli gov is virtually nonexistent in US politics, but apparently that’s not enough. Gotta spend *$100 million* to unseat the few who believe in Palestinian human rights & a ceasefire that most Americans already support. The acceptable level of dissent is 0. twitter.com/alex_sammon/st…

Today we are announcing an expanded coalition of 24 members of Congress pressing the Biden administration for a bilateral ceasefire in Gaza on the basis of grave violations of children’s rights. Proud to co-lead with partners @BettyMcCollum04 and @RepMarkPocan.

New: 24 House members, led by @AOC, have sent a letter to Biden and Blinken calling for a "bilateral ceasefire." "We are profoundly shocked by the grave violations of children’s rights in the context of armed conflict in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territory."

Grateful to have joined Rabbis for Ceasefire tonight. Ceasefire means release the hostages. Ceasefire means stop the bombardment. Ceasefire means defend the innocent. Ceasefire means transcend cycles of violence. Ceasefire is not just an option. It is our only way out of this.

The question is enforcement: where do you file a complaint; who reviews it; how does fact finding occur; who compares what happened to what’s allowed?  That’s where the rubber hits the road. 🧵

There is power in a union. Congratulations @sagaftra! twitter.com/sagaftra/statu…

I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

It is not lost on anyone how many offensive, violent, and racist things people regularly hear members of Congress say, yet virtually the only one that gets censured for her political speech also happens to be the only Palestinian American. It does not reflect well. At all. twitter.com/therecount/sta…

10,000-plus Palestinians killed, including 4,000-plus kids, and the U.S. House of Representatives is busy censuring… the only Palestinian-American member. Can’t make this stuff up. twitter.com/ArthurDelaneyH…

I've seen enough: in a victory for the pro-choice side, Ohio Issue 1, a measure to establish a right to an abortion in the state constitution, passes.

Jewish activists with @jvplive have taken the Statue of Liberty for #CeasefireForNOW in Gaza
