    Last January I was sworn in for my first term in Congress. So, what have we accomplished since then? Let’s take 2(ish) minutes to review.

    MSNBC’s : “Palestinians are at best third-class citizens in the nation of their birth. The idea that it’s even remotely controversial to call what Israel has imposed on Palestinians a form of apartheid is laughable.”

    This is happening with the support of the United States. I don’t care how any spokesperson tries to spin this. The US vetoed the UN call for ceasefire. If the Biden admin can’t stand up to an ally, who can it stand up to? How can they credibly claim to stand for human rights?

    Oh my god. The building where al Jazeera’s office is housed has just been taken down by Israeli airstrikes. There was a warning and evacuated. It houses offices and private homes. I can’t believe it.

    "Palestinians are being told the same thing as Black folks in America: There is no acceptable form of resistance." Powerful speech by Congresswoman .

    We can't stand idly by when the United States government sends $3.8 billion of military aid to Israel that is used to demolish Palestinian homes, imprison Palestinian children and displace Palestinian families. Our government should not fund state violence in any form, anywhere.

    And now it’s revealed that this person showed up to members of Congress’ doors with folks from the mob who infiltrated the Capitol, beat Capitol Police, and strung up nooses in front of the House. If the shoe were on the other foot, the GOP would be calling for my expulsion.

    Among Greene's associates with her is Anthony Aguero, who was among the Capitol mob on January 6th who went into the building. Greene's companions say into the mailbox slot of the locked door, ""You can't stay in there forever. Come out and play."

    The fact that Kevin McCarthy, the House , stripped Justin Amash of all committee seats for criticizing Trump, but has worked to protect this person from consequences (including pretending he doesn’t see it) tells you this is happening with the support of GOP leadership.

    New: A since-deleted video from 2019 shows MTG harassing 's office through a locked door. Calling her "crazy eyes" and telling her through the office's mailbox slot to "get rid of your diaper" while telling the office to open the door and come out.

    Powerful words from : "We cannot remain silent when our government sends $3.8 billion of military aid to Israel that is used to demolish Palestinian homes, imprison Palestinian children, and displace Palestinian families. A budget is a reflection of our values."

    . in a speech on House floor: "This is not about both sides. This is about an imbalance of power." AOC adds: "The president stated that Israel has a right to self-defense... But do Palestinians have a right to survive?"

    Friendly reminder to keep generously tipping your bartenders, servers, delivery, venue, and hospitality workers. ☺️🌹

    AOC says of MTG: “I used to work as a bartender. These are the kinds of people that I threw out of bars all the time.”

    I don’t belong to any political party but I am Jewish and newsflash: my home country is the United States. To suggest otherwise is bigotry.

    But even after that 4:32pm verbal auth, Maj Gen Walker testified he wasn’t notified of authorization to send Nat Guard to Capitol until 5:08pm. Capitol complex wasn’t secure until 8pm. The answers Trump’s acting SecDef gave for delays are not sufficient at all. Big q’s here.

    So what happened between 3:19pm and 5:08pm on Jan 6th? 4:08pm: Pence makes an urgent call. He told the Sec of Defense to “Clear the Capitol.” At 4:32pm, hours after seige began but minutes after Pence call, the SecDef gave *verbal* authorization to send Nat Guard to Capitol

    According to DoD timelines of 1/6: 1:05pm - Insurrectionist movements towards Capitol reported 1:26pm - USCP orders evac 1:34-3:19pm- Calls from DC Mayor, Pelosi, Schumer to Army Sec for help. No change. Nat’l Guard commander Maj. Gen. Walker didn’t get approval until *5:08pm*

    Wow. AOC just backed ex-acting SecDef Miller into admitting that he didn't approve plan for the Nat Guard to deploy on 1/6 until 4:32, a difference from his claim that he ordered deployment at 3. That 4:32 order came after he talked to Pence (after calls from many panicked Dems)
