Connect the dots: Elon Musk's X suspends Palestinian American Senate candidate Ahmed Moor @AhmedMoor for opposing the crime of crimes in Gaza—while his Starlink terminals keep the UAE-backed RSF militia online as they carry out genocide in Sudan.
Same Epstein-class billionaire circle as Trump and Abu Dhabi: silencing anti-war voices at home while profiting off carnage abroad.
Meanwhile, @elonmusk's @Starlink is aiding & abetting #RSF genocide in #Sudan:
“From the outset of the war in Sudan, General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan ordered the telecoms networks to be shut down. But his adversary, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo outmanoeuvred his digital blockade, turning Starlink terminals into a strategic tool for running Rapid Support Forces operations.” (africanintelligence.com 11/9/26)

Done with Hakeem Jeffries' AIPAC-funded cowardice and mob-style threats against anyone showing moral courage.
We need a House Speaker who actually fights for working people and refuses to bankroll endless wars and genocide.
I just signed to make Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley Speaker. Add your name below. ✊
If you believe Ayanna Pressley should be the next Speaker of the House, sign below!
Ayanna is an incredible leader. She was part of the 2018 election where I had the honor to meet her. She would be incredibly effective in this role.

8 of the 11 Democrats who skipped the vote to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth were not “caught in traffic.” They were at an AIPAC-affiliated event that was scheduled at the same time as the impeachment vote by the Democrat’s House whip Katherine Clark. Turns out she was whipping votes to protect, not impeach, Hegseth. This was all planned because their AIPAC donors don’t want Hegseth impeached. If Hegseth is held accountable for war crimes it opens up the possibility of more Zionist war criminals being held accountable. They want to preserve the corrupt world we live in now where US/Zionist war criminals murder with impunity.
Big thanks to @JulianAndreone who broke the story about the AIPAC-affiliated meeting being scheduled at the same time as the Hegseth impeachment vote.
This is a massive scandal: 8 of the 11 Democrats that didn’t show up to vote to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth were at an AIPAC-affiliated event. The Israeli lobby doesn’t want Hegseth impeached because it wants him to keep committing war crimes against Iran. Both parties are traitors and must go.

On Tuesday, voters in Providence, Rhode Island overwhelmingly passed an ordinance requiring the city to divest from companies that enable genocide, apartheid, and human rights violations.
"The ordinance is the Palestine solidarity movement’s first binding municipal divestment law passed through popular vote in the U.S. — and makes Providence the largest U.S. city to vote to divest from Israel."
“Millions of dollars in Providence city funds are invested in companies facilitating and profiting from the Israeli genocide in Gaza, apartheid system in the occupied West Bank, and ongoing assault on Lebanon and Iran,” Jewish Voice for Peace-Rhode Island explained in a press release. “In addition, Providence has a 20-year history of investing millions in Israel Bonds, which function as direct, no-strings-attached loans to the Israeli government and military.”
“It was regular people who said, ‘we are going to create this ordinance, we are going to get enough signatures to get this on the ballot, we are not waiting for our elected officials to do something, we are going to do that work ourselves to make it happen,’”

INSANE: A spy chief is terrorizing an International Criminal Court prosecutor, threatening her safety, family and career, showing secret photos of her husband to coerce her into dropping a war-crimes probe.
Which intelligence agency does he lead?
Agency only @grok

Senator @ChrisVanHollen was early to call out Israel and Netanyahu for withholding food and aid to the people of Gaza.
This is why we support Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader.

The chances were always low that House Dems would elect anyone other than Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker because of how rigidly hierarchical and pro-institution they are.
But any chance of choosing someone else was permanently crushed months ago when AOC announced on Meet the Press that Jeffries was the candidate she supports for Speaker (even though he supported, armed and funded what she claims she believes is a "genocide" in Gaza and he still defends it). AOC's support made Jeffries' elevation a foregone conclusion.

Hey @Grok, concise no spin.
According to an ex-CIA agent, President Trump confessed 10,000 JFK files would never be released because “every single one of them points directly at” what?

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

An IDF statement issued yesterday stated a 14 year old boy was shot dead in the West Bank on Monday, because he planned to throw stones at them. Not threw stones, PLANNED, to throw stones.
This is Zionism.

We need to stop selling weaponry to foreign governments that use it to do the worst things, including genocide and apartheid and war. npr.org/2026/11/04/nx-s1-602…

We packed Hakeem Jeffries' office to urge him to speak up about the most pressing issues facing people in the U.S.
We asked him to speak out about cutting the $1.5 trillion war budget, stop funding the war on Iran, and oppose the US-Israeli military merger.

All Senator John Fetterman can say is he “loves Israel”
The whole world has seen Israel’s genocide - and we are horrified.
While we try to stop more weapons to kill Palestinians, all Fetterman can share is how much he loves the genocidal regime.
48 hours after challenging John Fetterman, X suspends Palestinian American Senate candidate Ahmed Moor's campaign account.
"Free speech absolutism" is a lie in America. The second an anti-genocide candidate threatens AIPAC's favorite legislator, big tech hits the kill switch.
You can ban an account, not a movement. Back Ahmed Moor now.
FRIENDS! It's official! We're a threat.
They've suspended the campaign account.

An elderly mother lying flat in freezing floodwater while her son howls in agony—because Israel deliberately blocks shelters and water pumps from entering Gaza.
This is regime-engineered murder by hypothermia, bankrolled by Washington. Every politician funding this is a war criminal.
"Where do I go now?!"
Hunted from shelter to shelter, bombed out of even a torn piece of canvas, left with nothing but sand and ash to pour over his head while Western rulers keep shipping the bombs incinerating his life.
Every single leader arming this genocide has his blood on their hands.
