Dear John,

We have a new bona fide hater. If you haven’t heard of Brian Mast,he is a Congressman from Florida who won’t stop tweeting about us and how much he hates us. He can’t stand us but he’s also obsessed with us! Why? Because he wants to funnel taxpayer dollars into endless wars and imperialism without being challenged. He just voted to send $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. Oh, and he also voted in favor of the TikTok “ban” — an unsurprising move considering we constantly expose his disregard for Palestinian life on that app. Mast once said to us, “These are not innocent civilians” when we asked him about the death toll in Gaza. If people like that hate us, then we are doing our work effectively.

Our chapter in South Florida got a chance to talk to Mast in his home district. We couldn't be more proud of them taking him on and telling him to his face that his constituents need him to bring more resources to Florida instead of funding more war and weapons.

Pissing off Brian Mast isn’t the only thing we are doing though — it’s just a side effect of our diligent work. Over the past weekend, we disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in solidarity with murdered Palestinian journalists. When major outlets like the New York Times bar their journalists from saying words like “genocide” and “ethnic cleansing,” they need to be called out for their complicity in what is going on in Gaza. When the media lies, people die! We unfurled a massive Palestinian flag from the hotel and Julia from our DC team was kicked out of the lobby for calling attention to murdered Palestinian journalists. And our co-founder Medea Benjamin and her partner Tighe were physically assaulted by private event security for calling attention to the genocide. Medea and Tighe were thrown to the ground and left with bruises and cuts for calling for peace! (Scroll down to see action videos)
