Against the backdrop of rising fascism and antisemitism, we need to talk about what AIPAC is doing in Pittsburgh. With a house majority on the line, theyโ€™re spending $1 million to back a conservative Republican against a popular progressive Black woman in a deep-blue district.

Spot on, @JoeBiden . Have you seen what Palestinians like @m7mdkurd , @MariamBarghouti , and @kurd_muna are reporting from the ground right now? Have you listened to experts like @4noura ? Then you might know why over 500 of your staff wonder why Palestinian rights are an exception.

This is the far-right playbook. Take the media spotlight off genocide in Gaza to put it on "liberal American universities." Use false accusations of antisemitism as a cynical ploy to take out Black leaders in positions of power. Watch liberal institutions and media fall for it.

Horrific descriptions of even more horrific images. I would say "unfathomable," but this is happening before our eyes. With our tax dollars. Enabled by our leaders. Who say -- and how DARE THEY -- this is in the name of our safety. Get our names out of your genocidal mouths.

Supporting this bill is the LAST way to respond to this moment. It delegitimizes anti-Semitism by using the word to silence criticism of Israel, at exactly the moment when we need it most. To do this after the deadliest attack on Jews in U.S. history is offensive and wrong.
