My friends, family, and community, I know we have been holding our breath to hear a result and unfortunately the outcome isn’t what we wanted. I just called Max Rose to congratulate him on the win.
At 22, about to deploy to our “global war on terror,” I was your guest to the SOTU. I believed I was being sent to save lives, end terrorism. I trusted and admired you.
I came home knowing I only added to the violence and people like you sent me to kill and die and for lies /1
5/6
I’m also thankful @POTUS did not heed calls for an immediate ceasefire weeks ago, as Israel could not have achieved this breakthrough had one occurred.
A unilateral ceasefire only serves Hamas terrorists, who broke a ceasefire on Oct. 7th - and vow to do so again and again.
I’m 34 now. 12 years later and I risked military prison to tell the truth about those wars but you’re still peddling the same lies, tweeting to essentially celebrate scale of death and destruction you can’t possibly fathom from your cushy office.
I wonder why? /2
This deal was offered weeks ago & rejected by Israel. If @POTUS was pushing for #ceasefire and diplomacy instead of discouraging the entire U.S. gov from even saying the word de-escalation, the only diff would be hostages home sooner and THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT LIVES SAVED /4
You’re operating as if OUR OWN NUMBERS don’t show that terrorism increased in every single place we did military “counter-terrorism operations” for the past 20+ years which makes you either evil or grossly incompetent /3

Even if you don’t believe those empirically proven points, to express gratitude that a ceasefire wasn’t pushed sooner is to celebrate the killing of thousands of civilians - thousand of children guilty of nothing but being born Palestinian. Disgusting. / 5
We need a #CeasefireNOW
It is the only path that saves Palestinian AND Israeli lives. 80% of Dem voters want it. Your failure to call for one 5 wks & 15k deaths in is a moral failing beyond words that I hope haunts you. But it’s not too late to get on the right side of history.
My name is Brittany Ramos DeBarros.
I'm a proud Afro-Latina Staten Islander, community organizer, and progressive combat veteran running to fight for #NY11 in Congress. It's time for Trump's favorite NY Republican, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, to go! #BrittanyForCongress
It is absolutely unacceptable to me that Israel is bombing Gaza - the world’s largest open air prison - and killing Palestinian civilians, especially knowing they are doing it using my tax dollars. It should be unacceptable to you too.
Justice for Gaza. Free Palestine.
Been watching this whole back and forth play out with disappointment in @Biaggi4NY but feel compelled to speak up specifically about Biaggi calling @rafaelshimunov misogynistic because he criticized her actions as a public official /1
I am heartbroken over the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School.
15 families, the South Texas community and the entire nation are in mourning.
Let us pray for peace. Let us come together for our neighbors that need support. And let us remember the bright lives we lost today.
