"I will use every bit of diplomatic & financial leverage to end the atrocities" in Gaza. -James Talarico
When you listen to James Talarico, you realize that last night's results were not just a rejection of Trump and Israel's Iran war, but also a rejection of a Democratic Party led by people like Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan:
"I've never taken money from AIPAC, and I'm not taking money from AIPAC in this campaign. Seeing what's happening in Gaza makes me sick to my stomach as a teacher, as a Christian, as a human being"
This is his message, and he won in Texas!

60% of Michigan Jews voted for Abdul El-Sayed. Stop speaking for Jews. Stop using us as an excuse for your bullshit. Stop conflating support for Israel as support for Jews

Senator-elect Peggy Flanagan calling for replacing Chuck Schumer as leader:
“I am tremendously grateful for Chuck Schumer’s leadership … and I think it is time for new leadership,”
ALT Screenshot of text from Minnesota Reformer: "I am tremendously grateful for Chuck Schumer's leadership ... and I think it is time for new leadership," Flanagan said, repeating a campaign promise to support an alternative. She did not say who she thinks should replace Schumer, the soon-to-be 76-year-old senator from New York who has led the Democratic caucus in the upper chamber for the past decade and first arrived in Congress in 1981.

This contentious interchange between the NY Times and @GinaHinojosaTX was truly amazing. Hinojosa offered one of the best explanations of populism I've ever seen. Her comments were a total rejection of Corporate Dems' neoliberal formula. Her Texas victory is a game changer.

Coates: “Stevens, in joining Rogers, has allied herself with this odious culture war, one tied to a very real war. The campaign of hate, of which El-Sayed is the latest victim, has a simple goal: to render Muslims and Arabs more killable.” vanityfair.com/story/ta-nehi…

I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank.
The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.
We are an amoral corrupt rogue state. Seems important to say the words occasionally, lest we be utterly numbed by the steady stream of betrayals of all that is good. nytimes.com/2026/10/18/world… via @NYTimes

As Jasper urged Heidi to run, she gasped “I can’t, let me die.” I may have, too, if I was injured like this at 63.
With Jasper’s help she got to Palestinian rescuers. One put this Jewish mother on his back & carried her. I never want to hear “try being Jewish in Ramallah” again.

Just wait until he hears the story of James Donald Bowman. Who came home from school one day and said that now he wants to be James David Hamel. Then he started wearing eye shadow and said he'd rather be called JD Vance. These things happen.
Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine? They don't even need approval"

A reminder that alongside the American journalist, several Palestinians - once again - were attacked by these illegal Israeli settlers
Several Palestinians and an American photojournalist working for the Washington Post were injured after a group of masked Israeli men attacked Palestinians harvesting olives in the West Bank, according to videos, eyewitnesses and Palestinian authorities. cbsn.ws/4yzZBYA

Here’s the American that just got savagely beaten by settlers. Not Heidi Levine—the one from yesterday, Haitham Taysir.

Israeli settlers, funded and protected by the United States, attacked this female American journalist in her sixties.

It’s bad enough when they tell immigrants to show ‘gratitude’ but now they’re telling a man born in America he should show ‘gratitude’ - what, because he’s a Muslim?
Also, it wasn’t El-Sayed who wrote a book complaining about his community and upbringing, it was Vance.
Lisa Daugaard retweeted
I can’t think of any other place in the world where people can regularly attack American citizens, American journalists, like this and our US political and media elites say nothing. No scandal, no outrage, no calls for action or accountability.
BREAKING: Heidi Levine, a photojournalist working in the occupied West Bank with The Washington Post, has sustained injuries along with several others after being attacked by settlers during a pogrom in the village of Abu Falah.

Today should’ve been our beloved and spectacular colleague Hossam Shabat’s (@HossamShabat) 25th birthday. But Israel assassinated him in March 2025.
Hossam did a great service to the world. He sacrificed his life for telling the truth. The world didn’t listen to him.
Today is my beloved big brother’s 25th birthday. Happy birthday Hossam, how I wish you were still here with us. Not a day or moment goes by that your family doesn’t think about you or talk about you, you were our rock. Please don’t forget about my brother, and please do not forget about his family who are all struggling to survive ❤️🩹

Tomorrow marks one year since the sham of a ceasefire agreement in Gaza was signed. Sold as a way to halt the Israeli military’s endless killing, the results of this “ceasefire” have been the Israeli military killing or wounding at least one Palestinian every 90 minutes.
The Israeli military has killed nearly 1,500 Palestinians since October 10, 2025.

Some who have been following the @israelispeaceny Oct. 7th vigil, and the anti-Mamdani counter-protest there might appreciate this.
It's from one of the attendees, claiming that a big group amongst the protesters had no idea they were gonna protest a vigil:

ALT Screenshot of an Instagram comment in dark mode by @aj_oshawott, posted 3 hours earlier, with 111 likes. The commenter, who attended a pro-Palestinian counterprotest, apologizes for hateful things shouted by the crowd. They explain that many counterprotesters had not been informed of or involved in planning what happened, and that many left once they realized what was taking place. They emphasize that the hateful remarks do not represent them or the broader pro-Palestinian movement, and express a desire to work together in the future and apologize personally to those hurt. The comment ends with three heart-hands emojis.
