How AIPAC is buying support for genocide

John, A new FEC filing shows that anti-Palestinian, GOP-funded group AIPAC spent a record amount of money last November, dropping MILLIONS in a single month. It’s obvious why: AIPAC made massive campaign contributions to their biggest allies — like Democrats Ritchie Torres and Hakeem Jeffr…

re: Biden and Netanyahu

John, We may have entered a new year, but the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza did not end in 2023, and according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it will go on “for many more months.” This comes at the very same time that President Biden simultaneously said he …

AIPAC endorses insurrectionists

John, Today is the third anniversary of the deadly January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. On this day in 2021, when Congress was scheduled to formally acknowledge President Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election, a violent mob of right-wing extremists — emboldened by Donald Trump …

John, Right now, we’re just three days away from the end of 2023 and a few months out from the Democratic primaries that can determine whether or not our progressive incumbents remain in Congress. We’re running out of time to raise the resources needed to protect and re-elect the Squad next…

This is a harmful narrative
